In Morocco, water ressource is characterized by significant spatio-temporal variability. So, to ensure the availability of water for domestic and agro-industrial uses, it is advised to develop some alternatives that improve the local water resources management throughout the country. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) has been proven to be a very promising alternative to water shortage problem. However, identifying appropriate sites for RWH remains a complex task in the management of rainwater. The present study aims to identify optimal sites for RWH using GIS based Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method in the Kenitra province, NW Morocco. For preparing thematic layers, several data sources were used including remote sensing data (RS), digital elevation model (DEM), the soil and precipitation data were used to create the necessary database using ArcGIS software. Next, the model of the soil conservation service-curve number (SCS-CN) was adopted to generate the map of the annual potential runoff. Then, five thematic layers including runoff, slope, soil texture, land use/land cover (LULC) and drainage density were assigned apropriate weights for generating the RWH suitability map. The resultant map of runoff depth revealed that it ranges from 137 to 738 mm. Moreover, the RWH suitability map showed that Kenitra province can be classed into five RWH candidate areas: (i) unsuitable (12.7%), (ii) less suitable (10.9%), (iii) suitable (20.3%), (iv) very suitable (36%) and (v) extremely suitable (19.9%). The extremely suitable areas for RWH are distributed in the central and northeastern parts. Based on the area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating caracteristics (ROC), the success rate for predicting suitable RWH sites was 51%.","PeriodicalId":45100,"journal":{"name":"Geographia Technica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43856435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this article is to assess the use of tools in the process of the regeneration of brownfields on the territory of municipalities with extended competence in the Czech Republic. The information contained in this paper was compiled on the basis of a primary survey. It was found that the highest number of abandoned buildings and premises are located in regions which were focused on industrial and mining activities in the past. Furthermore, the authors found that brownfield sites have been regenerated and reused successfully in the territory of the Czech Republic. Based on the relevant survey, the most frequently used financial tools employed by municipalities with extended competence (MEC) for the regeneration of brownfield sites in the last 10 years included municipality budgets, European subsidy programmes and national subsidy programmes. According to the survey, nonfinancial tools used for the successful regeneration of brownfields included own activities and support from the CzechInvest agency. The motives of municipalities and towns located in the territory of individual MECs in the relevant country included mainly a new use of buildings (the rescue of historical buildings/premises and unused industrial parts of a village/town) in the territory of the MEC. The results of the article also highlights the regional differences of the studied area in the case of the existence and use of various financial and non-financial instruments in the process of brownfield regeneration in individual MECs in the Czech Republic.","PeriodicalId":45100,"journal":{"name":"Geographia Technica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45489844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To prevent disasters, the R oyal I rrigation D epartment (RID) constructed thirteen regulating structures to control discharges. Currently, the local controllers spatially control these structures to minimize the subsystem's damage, regardless of the effects on the overall system performance. In this study, the concept of combining real-time flood management tools and the cascade M odel P redictive C ontrol (MPC) as well as application of GIS has been proposed and verified with the 2013 flood event. The distributed control of the existing hydraulic structures on the large scale of the Lamtakong River made optimal use of the retention basin storage capacity with the considerations of both local performance and global system interactions. The model proposes an optimal gate opening of each cascade at the specified time, from the beginning until the end of flood hydrographs. The results of the controlled water level indicate the efficiency of the CMPC, which is more satisfied satisfactory than the PID and practice technique of RID, as evidenced by the water level of 0.5 m that is lower than the level of the riverbank at Nakhon Ratchasima City. A comparison of flood areas between the historical flood in year 2013 and Management by CASCADE MPC shows by GIS flood map that in the case of Management by CASCADE MPC, it can reduce the flood area in Nakhorn Ratchasima city by almost 60%.","PeriodicalId":45100,"journal":{"name":"Geographia Technica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45269905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research interested on evaluating and mapping the recent and exceptional wildfires occurred in the Aures Mounts System near Ain Mimoun in July 5, 2021. Multidates Sentinel 2 images, the differenced Normalized Burn Ratio dNBR and its Relativized dNBR (RdNBR) have been used for extract and evaluate the recently burned areas. Results reveal that he July 5 wildfires lead to the loss of 6,607 ha (9 %) of Aleppo pine forest cover and municipalities of Tamza and Chelia were more damaged, with respectively 4,143 and 2,166 ha of burned superficies. In addition to the high-vulnerability to fire risk occurrence, essentially due to topographic and morphological features, the study area exhibited also favoring climatic features before and during the fire event occurrence, high daily temperatures and high variable wind directions were prominent factors in accelerating the fire spreading and increasing the fire extent. This study concludes that Sentinel 2, dNBR and especially RdNBR are effective geo-informatic data and indices for assessing, classifying and mapping burn severity extent due to wildfire events. To attenuate damages, it is necessary to adopt risk mitigation plans based on efficient measures to be applied before, during and after the fire events occurrence.","PeriodicalId":45100,"journal":{"name":"Geographia Technica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46266327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Globally, the glaciers are losing their mass balance rapidly under the influence of climate change. In view of this, the regular study of these glaciers is very vital. However, field-based studies of most of the glaciers is a daunting task. On the contrary, emerging geospatial technology may play an important role in the studies of glaciers. The equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of the glaciers has been considered an essential indicator of climate change. There are numerous methods to delineate the equilibrium line of a glacier; however, each has its own merits and demerits. In the present study, the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing-based approach has been used for identifying the ELA of glaciers in the Ala-Archa River catchment of Kyrgyzstan from 2015 – 2019. Initially, the glacier radar zonesweremapped using the Sentinel-1 SAR datasets of each year under consideration. It was found that mainly the middle percolation, lower percolation, and bare-ice zones along with debris cover-ice are present in the glaciers. It was observed that the percolation refreeze zone covers approximately 40%, and the Bare-Ice zone covers 48% of the total area. Considering the boundary of lower percolation and bare-ice zone as ELA, the ELA of each glacier in each year was estimated. The lowest ELA of 3462 m was observed in 2018, whereas the highest (4309 m) was recorded in 2019. It was noticed that the trend of ELA is consistently increased from 3839.25 m in 2015 up to in 3868.29 m 2019. The temporal analysis of glacier radar zone estimation and ELA may help in studying the impact of climate change on glacier retreat and mass balance change. It can be concluded that geospatial techniques can make the glacier change studies possible without field survey. However, to validate the results of the study, field observations are a must.","PeriodicalId":45100,"journal":{"name":"Geographia Technica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43997627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
