  • Historical Changes in the Flood Hazard at Khartoum, Sudan

    Open AccessH R J Davies, R P D WalshARTICLESingapore Journal of Tropical…1997

    The 1988 floods at Khartoum were frequently described as “unprecedented”. However, an examination of evidence for floods caused by the Nile and rain storms during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries leads to the conclusion that neither the Nile flood nor the rain storms nor their coincidence in one season were unprecedented and that similar situations will recur.We argue that most problems were created by complacency, lack of planning and mism…

  • Flood Frequency and Impacts at Khartoum since the Early Nineteenth Century

    R P D Walsh, H R J Davies et al.ARTICLEGeographical Journal1994Citada por: 4Referencias: 3

    The nature and history of flooding problems at Khartoum since the early nineteenth century are examined using archival flow and river height records and historical documentary sources, putting the 1988 floods into historical perspective. Three genetically distinct types of flooding are identified: Nile floods; flooding of local ephemeral watercourses; and flooding of streets and houses by urban run off. The magnitude and frequency of Blue Nile fl…

  • After the Famine in the Sudan

    H R J DaviesARTICLEGeographical Journal1987Referencias: 1

    This paper contends that there are sufficient climatic similarities between dryland Sudan and dryland Australia to pose the question: Can the experience of a more developed Australia help a less developed Sudan evolve a better strategy for the use of its threatened drylands? Population, agricultural and pastoral land use, rangeland improvement, wild life management and non-agricultural activities are examined. It concludes that Australian experie…

  • Irrigation in Jordan

    H R J DaviesARTICLEEconomic Geography1958

    N x O visitor arriving in Jordan in August would be surprised to learn that shortage of water is one of the country's chief problems. Bare, brown hillsides and dried up watercourses he will find all around him. Some 88 per cent of the country receives less than 200 mms. annual rainfall, and 95 per cent less than 400 mms. Rainfall tends to decrease both from north to south and from west to east, unless influenced by altitude. The hills east and we…
