Water was first recognized as a "soft" tool when rivers carved their way through the ground. By the 19th century, higher velocity streams were being used for washing out and carrying ore from harder formations like coal. As technology advances, we can use higher pressures to achieve higher velocity jets. Water and relatively softer abrasives can penetrate harder materials due to shear rate of impact, or velocity, like how a straw can penetrate a tree in a hurricane.

Water's mass and power are impressive. One liter weighs about one kilogram, showing its high density. This density means that large volumes of water can cause significant damage, like crushing a car. Water also stores a lot of energy, released through movement or impact, leading to powerful forces. These forces can cause natural disasters like floods and tsunamis or human-made issues like burst pipes, making water a significant force in both nature and engineering. #Science #Water #Crash #Weight #Disasters #Explore #Reels

Hydrological Profile for Bridge over this river and max 100 years water level is not good defined and abutments are still in the river flows ! Probably, abutments have been not built on the piles, and erosion caused total collapse of bridge! #floodmanagement

📸 Jos Muller with his poster on salt marsh cliff erosion at ICCE 2024. His three take home messages based on his experimental results are: 🌾 Vegetation protects the salt marsh cliff against erosion by reducing flow velocities and pressure fluctuations at the cliff. 🌊 Near-cliff flow velocity patterns increase pressure fluctuations on a salt marsh cliff during storm conditions (large water depths and wave heights). 💡 We hypothesize that wave-induced pressure fluctuations weaken the cliff during storms, which increases the overall erosion rate once the storm has passed.

Did you know that Greeks were some of the first to measure rainfall with a simple device called an "ombrological pillar"? A rain gauge (also known as udometer, pluviometer, ombrometer, and hyetometer) is an instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation over a predefined area, over a period of time. It is used to determine the depth of precipitation (usually in mm) that occurs over a unit area and measure rainfall amount. #atticuseducation #learningforlife #uaerain #dubairain #rain #pluviometer

30% of drinking water comes from overexploited aquifers. Impermeable soils cause flooding instead of taking advantage of rainwater. Deep injection wells can replenish these aquifers and reduce flooding, according to a study based on numerical modeling and geological data.
