Q
  • Understanding the potential impact of floodwater on a site
  • is carried out to quantify the flow or volume of water in a river or stream, over land, in soils, in a pond or in a reservoir.
A

HYDROLOGICAL STUDY

49
Q

what is HYDROLOGICAL STUDY?

A

A hydrological study refers to a set of measures or infrastructure designed to manage and mitigate the risk of flooding in a particular area. To further understand the potential impacts of floodwater on a site, an assessment is carried out to quantify the flow or volume of water in a river or stream, over lands, in soils, in a pond, and a reservoir. There are various types of hydrological studies to obtain the needed information to manage the vital resource: Analysis of rainfall, delineating channels and waterways, evaluate the capacity of the existing drainage, and recommending flood control system.

50
Q

what is SOIL INVESTIGATION?

A

Soil Investigation is understanding the soil in a particular area and how they affect hydrology, construction, erosion control, and plant growth. It helps to determine the properties and characteristics of the soil on a site. Determining the properties and characteristics of the soil help’s ensure the safety, stability, and sustainability of the site and its surrounding environment. All information regarding the investigation of soils is crucial for designing stable and reliable foundations for structures such as buildings, bridges, or other infrastructure.
