Strategies for Flood Mitigation
Abstract: The world has always experienced change. Water-too much or too little is the most common cause of migration and a city's downfall. The notable and significant distinction right now is that we are seeing it in real-time for the first time in human history. We contributed to the dangers that were produced, and we contributed to the remedies that will influence the pace and scope of change and disruption. We …

Efficiency analysis of the floating breakwater with mooring system
Abstract: Floating structures are new advance method for the water based structures. Floating structures can eliminate land issue. The floating structures are being used since ancient time for emergency and temporary purposes. For permanent structures the floating structure should overcome and completely resistant to water forces i.e. wave forces, water current forces, and wind forces and water static forces. In which the wave forces and water forces are major forces which …

Floating Cities from Concept to Creation :Neighbourhood Guide to the Future Development
Abstract: Today cities are overpopulated and only 40% of space is left to house the world's population by 2050. Due to ever rising sea level 90% of coastal cities will be affected by flooding by the end of the century. This research aims to study about the floating city as a substitute. Floating cities shape to construct all of the infrastructure required for a water-based metropolis while also providing contextual space …

An Overview of New Coastal Research Vessel (N-CRV) Dry Dock and Construction
Abstract: A New Coastal Research Vessel (N-CRV) is a specialized ship designed for scientific research in fields like oceanography, geology, biology, and atmospheric studies, equipped with specific facilities and accommodations for sea missions. This paper discusses the coastal research ship dry-dock, construction, and design process, which involves three stages: concept, preliminary, and contract design. N-CRV must utilize scientific cruise, Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) survey, deployment, data collection, and seawater sample collection …

Hydrodynamic Assessment of a Proposed FSRU Development in the Visakhapatnam Outer Harbour
Abstract: This study presents a detailed hydrodynamic assessment of a proposed Floating Storage andRegasification Unit (FSRU) in the Visakhapatnam Outer Harbour. A depth-integrated, two- dimensional hydrodynamic model was developed using MIKE-21 Flexible Mesh (FM) to quantify theinfluence of the terminal layout, dredged pocket configuration, and vessel presence on tidal circulation, freshet-driven flows, and extreme-event conditions. Baseline simulations were performed using existing bathymetry and operational geometries, followed by proposed configurations that included …

Variations of Macroplastics in Water and Sediments at Bundu Waterfront, Upper Bonny Estuary, Rivers State, Nigeria
Abstract: Macroplastic pollution has become an increasingly severe environmental challenge, particularly in urban waterfronts where waste management is inadequate. Bundu Waterfront of the Upper Bonny Estuary in Port Harcourt, Rivers State is a sink for macroplatics from careless disposal of solid wastes and inadequate management thus affecting the biological integrity and aquatic life of this estuary. The resultant impact of the macroplastics on abiotic factors through the evaluation of different floating …
