22. Landmines In Mozambique: After The Floods (HRW Briefing Paper, March 2000) Human Rights Watch report on the impact of the floods on landmine clearance. http://www.hrw.org/backgrounder/arms/mines-moz.htm

ARMS Division - HRW World Report 2000 FREE Join the HRW Mailing List Landmines in Mozambique: After the Floods By Mary Wareham, Human Rights Watch Paper prepared for Conference on Mozambique After the Floods Tuesday, 28 March 2000, Washington DC. While the floods in Mozambique during the past month have undoubtedly reversed much of the progress made recently on many fronts in Mozambique, their impact on the country's well-established mine action programmes remains mostly unknown at this point. It is not yet possible to evaluate the impact of the floods that have devastated the southern and central region of the country, including the mine-affected provinces of Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane, Sofala and Manica. Most areas affected are still inundated by the floods with the possibility of more floods as river levels increase again. In the areas where the flood is receding, there is still little mobility with few villagers returning home. In addition to mines, many other life-threatening problems confront Mozambique as a result of the flooding including the threats of malaria and cholera. Related Material Landmine Monitor Report 1999 Toward a Mine-Free World The main danger with respect to mines is however very clear: there is no certainty as to where the mines are now because landmines and buried explosives, shift like stones in rushing water, and tend to move downstream following gravity. Some of the antipersonnel mines used in Mozambique were made of plastic and float in water. According to Gerhard Zank, the Mozambique representative of the Halo Trust, a British demining agency: "In the past, mines have been washed downstream in heavy rains, but we never had flooding on this massive scale before. We just don't know what the effect will be."

We use microwave and optical satellite imaging of selected river reaches to detect overbank flood and extreme low flow conditions. We also provide yearly catalogs, large-scale maps, and images of river floods, from 1985 to the present, and are developing methods for obtaining globally-consistent measurements of these events. As the archive of reliable data grows, it is increasingly possible to predict where and when major flooding will occur.

27. Drumlins And Subglacial Meltwater Floods Discusses the theory of drumlin formation by catastrophic flooding due to the release of meltwater from beneath melting ice sheets. http://www.sentex.net/~tcc/sgfcrit.html

Drumlins and subglacial meltwater floods Since 1983, several investigators have developed a theory of drumlin formation by catastrophic flooding due to the release of meltwater that is believed to have accumulated beneath melting ice sheets. The proposed catastrophic sheet floods, as wide as the drumlin fields, formed the drumlins and related streamlined landforms, such as flutings, over wide areas. So-called rogen moraine, consisting of transverse ridges of drift, often found associated with drumlins, is reinterpreted in the meltwater flood hypothesis as possible giant current ripples. Existing drumlin fields reveal the extent of the areas affected by the proposed catastrophic floods. The Livingstone Lake drumlin field in Saskatchewan, where some very striking examples of streamlining occur, was the type region for the development of the new theory [Shaw et al., 1984] . The sheet flood flows proposed for this area by Shaw et al were about 150 km wide, and the total volume of the meltwater reservior was estimated as about 84,000 km The subglacial flood hypothesis for drumlin origin has been applied to drumlins in New York, southern Ontario, the northeast shore of Georgian Bay in Ontario, and to the interpretation of hummocky terrain in southern Alberta, and other areas, by various workers. Shaw suggested as many as 10 meltwater discharges, similar to those which caused the Livingstone Lake drumlins, would be needed to account for drumlin fields in other areas

34. Ice Age Floods Institute: Welcome Promotes understanding of the huge floods that burst from Glacial Lake Missoula in Montana and swept through the Columbia River drainage. http://www.iceagefloodsinstitute.org/

A perplexing scientific puzzle still being solved... The Ice Age Floods This painting gives a hint of the awesome force and volume of the Ice Age Floods. It shows the first rush of a Missoula Flood coming into the lower Columbia River Gorge. The speed of the floods approached 60 mph through the Gorge. Beacon Rock is in the distance, and Crown Point is in the right foreground. At maximum flow, the largest of the floods filled the Gorge, overtopping Crown Point. (Image: "The Arrival" © 2001 Stev H. Ominski & Brian Swaren. More information here During the last Ice Age (18,000 to 12,000 years ago), and in multiple previous Ice Ages, cataclysmic floods inundated portions of the Pacific Northwest from Glacial Lake Missoula, pluvial Lake Bonneville, and perhaps from subglacial outbursts. Glacial Lake Missoula was a body of water as large as some of the USA's Great Lakes. This lake formed from glacial meltwater that was dammed by a lobe of the Canadian ice sheet. Episodically, perhaps every 40 to 140 years, the waters of this huge lake forced its way past the ice dam, inundating parts of the Pacific Northwest. Eventually, the ice receded northward far enough that the dam did not reform, and the flooding episodes ceased.

In South Korea, flash floods killed at least 34 people, according to relief officials. Heavy rains and raging currents hampered the search for 70 people missing in the Chiri Mountains, a popular hiking and camping site 135 miles south of Seoul, officials said. Disaster officials feared the casualty figures could rise as families reported more missing people. On Saturday, officials reported at least 20 had died. "Because the streams are so rapid and studded with razor-sharp rocks, we believe nearly all those missing are dead," said a disaster official, speaking on customary condition of anonymity. 'Heaven dumping rain with buckets' A record 5.6 inches of rain poured down in less than one hour in the Chiri Mountains. Campers compared the experience to "the heaven dumping rain with buckets."

More than 8 inches of rain fell in a 10-hour period Thursday in Martin County, according to Keith Holman, director of the county's emergency management agency. When streets and homes began filling with water, he said, the county declared a state of emergency. "It wasn't so much a flash flood as it was a rise, a water rise," Holman said. "It did a lot of damage but [was] not necessarily life-threatening."
