How does technology help to minimize some of the effects of flooding?

# data[].attributes.body
Technology can help minimize the effects of flooding. It can help minimize the effects by providing ways to help minimize water build up.

What is meant by 100-year and 500-year floods?

# data[].attributes.body
Because the 1-percent AEP flood has a 1 in 100 chance of being equaled or exceeded in any 1 year, and it has an average recurrence interval of 100 years, it often is referred to as the "100-year flood".

How does water dissolve debris and bedrock in flowing water?

# data[].attributes.body
Water can dissolve carbonate rocks, such as limestone and dolomite, forming solution channels through which water can move both vertically and horizontally. Limestone caves are a good example of solution channels.

What effects does climate change have on river discharge in the United States?

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is redefining earth’s natural landscape by
altering air and water temperature, runoff of water,
biodiversity, changes in precipitation. All of these factors
play a role in how rivers will be affected by climate
change. Streams will be affected differently by where they
are located and what their surrounding climate already is.

Rainfall is the most important factor in creating a flood, but there are many other contributing factors. When rain falls on a catchment, the amount of rainwater that reaches the waterways depends on the characteristics of the catchment, particularly its size, shape and land use. Some rainfall is 'captured' by soil and vegetation, and the remainder enters waterways as flow. http://www.chiefscientist.qld.gov.au/publications/understanding-floods/what-factors-contribute

How do rivers, streams, and groundwater erode Earth´s landscapes?

# data[].attributes.body
Bodies of water can erode earths landscapes because they carry sediments. These sediments can change the shape of the earth.

How does weather influence the availability of freshwater?

# data[].attributes.body
As climates rise, the earth temperatures will also change. This has to do with the Earth´s weather.The influence of weather can negatively affect the availability of fresh water.As temperatures increase, evaporation increases, sometimes resulting in droughts.

How do rivers and streams transport and deposit material?

# data[].attributes.body
As the loose sediments are moved along the bottom of the river channel, small bedforms (formations of sediment on the bottom of the stream bed) can develop, such as ripples and sand dunes.

How can groundwater resources be managed so that withdrawal and replenishment are equal?

# data[].attributes.body
Grounddwater use leads to the "Tragedy of the Commons," with the eventual depletion of the resource and ruin to all. The effects of excessive groundwater development tend to become apparent gradually, with time often measured in decades. To assure sustainability, studies must show that the hydrological, ecological, and other impacts of groundwater utilization are minimal. In addition to water quantity, sustainability must imply the preservation of water quality.
