Urban Flood Risk Management Through the Lens of Citizen Science: A Case Study in Dhaka42 Pages Posted: 4 Sep 2024 Farzana Ahmed MohuyaUniversity of Dhaka Claire L. WalshNewcastle University Hayley J FowlerNewcastle University - School of Engineering Dhaka is one of the most densely populated cities in South Asia. In recent times, prolonged urban flooding/water logging is a recurring phenomenon and major concern in the two city corporations’ areas. This study investigates how “citizen science” could help individuals, communities, and stakeholders to understand and manage the risk of current and future urban flooding, by integrating people’s experience, concerns, and opinions on flood risk management into the formal framework. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 500 respondents in water logging affected wards of Dhaka. We identified that every year respondents in two city corporations experience 1-3 days of water logging, mostly during the monsoon season. Respondents were found to be aware about flooding and its associated risks and emphasised a concern about the increasing frequency of urban flooding in Dhaka over the next 10 years. Although 61.2% of the respondents were not familiar with the concept of citizen science, 42.8% of respondents expressed eagerness to become involved in any related project to promote awareness and mitigation of urban flooding issues in their communities. Key stakeholder and focus group discussions exposed that unplanned urbanisation, poor drainage system management, inappropriate waste management systems, and recent extreme rainfall events are the major perceived drivers behind urban flooding in Dhaka. Our discussions emphasised the need for integration of both modelling and geospatial techniques to build a Volunteer Geographic Information (VGI) system for the mitigation. We conclude that citizen science approach could play a significant role in tackling urban flooding risks in Dhaka.

Measuring two types of fat in the bloodstream along with C-reactive protein (CRP), which is an indicator of inflammation, helps to better determine heart disease risks than measuring low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol alone, the study published in the New England Journal of Medicine said . Researchers collected blood samples and medical information from 27,939 health care providers living in the United States who participated in the Women’s Health Study. The participants were an average age of 55. RELATED STORY | Heart disease and stroke could affect 60% of US adults by 2050, new reports say NIH said 3,662 of the study participants experienced a heart attack, stroke, surgery to restore circulation or a cardiovascular-related death during the 30-year follow period. Researchers measured and assessed how high-sensitivity CRP, LDL cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) singularly and collectively predicted these events, NIH said. The women with the highest levels of CRP had a 70% increased associated risk of heart disease, while the participants with the highest levels of LDL cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) had a 36% and 33% increased risk for heart disease, respectively. When all three measures were assessed together, participants with the highest levels had more than a 1.5-times increased associated risk for stroke and more than a three-times increased associated risk for coronary heart disease compared to women with the lowest levels, NIH said. RELATED STORY | Study: Low-calorie sweetener has been linked to risk of heart disease and stroke While only women were used for this study, researchers said they would expect similar results in men. “In recent years, we’ve learned more about how increased levels of inflammation can interact with lipids to compound cardiovascular disease risks,” said Dr. Ahmed A.K. Hasan, a medical officer and program director at NIH’s National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. “This helps explain why lower levels are often better.” Most RecentFire up your career: Inside the life of an auto technicianHarnessing Your Health: How to manage concussions as an adultIn most cases of school shootings, shooter exhibits warning signs, report findsNo link between cellphone use and brain cancer, WHO-commissioned review saysOregon hospital sued after nurse is accused of replacing fentanyl with tap waterNew Hampshire dad hospitalized with 3 mosquito-borne illnessesWatch Scripps NewsAbout Scripps News Download the Scripps News app. |

The combination of dense urban development, hilly terrain, and intense seasonal rainfall has caused acute landslide problems in Hong Kong, which are manifested by a death toll of over 470 people since the late 1940s. Tackling landslide problems in an urban setting, in particular under the effect of climate change, calls for a development and implementation of a holistic risk management ...
Recently, both Hong Kong and Singapore have incorporated Flood Risk Management (FRM) practices to reduce flood risk, supplementing the traditional approach of relying on engineering-based measures with flexible and holistic approaches that also consider the human dimensions of flood risk ( DSD, 2017d, DSD, 2017e, Public Utilities Board, 2013a ).
Given the climatic and geographical setting, Hong Kong is vulnerable to landslide risk. The poignant history of landslides catalysed the establishment of the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO hereafter) in 1977. Since then, a comprehensive Slope Safety System has been formulated and managed by the GEO which has effectively reduced and contained landslide risk through the implementation of ...
