Swan River Coastal Flooding 2025
Swan River Coastal Flooding Plots 2025 A preliminary evaluation of day-to-day coastal flooding hazard for 2025 has been developed from analysis of the Department of Transport Barrack Street tide gauge data, combined with tidal predictions for 2025. Please note: This analysis does not include sustained residuals developed by oceanographic processes, including the 2025 marine heat wave. This has caused roughly 0.1-0.2m higher water levels so far in 2025! 5 minute observations f


Some Risks of Channeled Thinking
It is interesting… International companies come into UAE & KSA and apply ‘well-established’ hydrological practices, built using standardized, comprehensive numerical modelling systems. Meanwhile, Egyptian scientists have been publishing on ‘different’ ways to do hydrology in semi-arid settings. I know which ones seem to be more relevant!! Arid zone hydrology is not temperate hydrology with less water. Baseflow is often effectively zero, but flooding is often substantial, fast
