Urban floods
Problematic issue During floods in urbanized areas, flow is generally concentrated in streets, but lateral exchanges with building areas and vertical exchanges with the stormwater/wastewater network can modify flows locally. To fill the gap in understanding these exchange processes and assess their influence on the estimation of flood risk in streets and built-up areas, experiments …
SSM dynamics
Scientific issue In direct connection with developments in hydrometry, the team has set up a hydro-sedimentary measurement network in some of its study sites (Rhône, Arc-Isère). The objective here is to better understand SSM fluxes as a function of hydrology, but also to estimate the exchanges with the bed (mainly over banks, margins) along a …
