A 8.5km off-road cycle path from Clontarf to Sutton along Dublin bay has been completed twenty five years after work first began.
Dublin City Council has agreed to spend €500,000 to lower and reface part of the recently built flood defence sea wall in Clontarf.
The wall was built as part of the €5 million Clontarf cycle path which opened in may 2017 following two years of construction.
After a bitter dispute with local residents, the council agreed to reduce the height of the wall by up to 30cm along almost half a kilometre opposite St Anne’s Park.
The reduction in height will provide protection against a 100-year tidal event rather than the national standard of a 200-year tidal event, and for only half the allowance for sea-level rise expected by the end of the century.
The cost of the work is estimated at €230,000 to reduce the height of the sea wall and €300,000 for stone cladding.

Contractors working for the Sacramento District construct the support system for the rising Folsom Dam auxiliary spillway on March 14. The control structure—essentially a second dam—will stand as tall as the Statue of Liberty upon completion, estimated in October 2017, and will help reduce the risk of flooding in the Sacramento region.

The Hull Tidal Surge Barrier is the second biggest flood barrier in the country after the Thames barrier. Built in 1980 at the confluence of the River Hull and the Humber Estuary, the 212 tonne, 30 metre-wide gate is supported between two towers that house the operating machinery and with much of Kingston-upon-Hull susceptible to flooding at times of tidal surges, protects nearly 17,000 homes and businesses from inundation from tidal flooding. The barrier is closed about 12 times a year and has protected the city from the effects of more than 30 high tidal surges since it opened in April 1980 including a record high surge in November 2011.
This is a brick house on a concrete slab in the process of being raised to prevent further flooding. Houston, Texas.

This looks northwards along the west side of the Thames Barrier whose role is to hold back tidal surges from travelling upstream and flooding central London. It's also the ending of the 180 miles of the "official" Thames Path.

Rivers, channels, canals, and other flowing waters are the veins of our cities, nations, and planet. If they get clogged with trash, vegetation or excess silt, there will be trouble.

When work on the flood prevention works to Silverstone Brook was underway in 1978 the workmen started coming across human bones and skulls. At that time the South Northants Archaeology Society was still in existence and when they heard that two graves had been uncovered they spent a hectic day on their knees in watery gravel excavating the bones from the black clay that surrounded them. One burial had pieces of wood with the bones and the skull of another, possibly female, had very worn teeth. The burials were orientated east-west and there were at least six of them, some of which were originally in coffins. The workmen on site reckoned that another 10 other burials were found just downstream and that a ‘coffin’ had been extracted by a digger. It is now thought that these burials were late Roman in date. This group of burials appear to have been located to the rear of plots between the Roman Alchester Road and Silverstone Brook very close to the present children’s play area of Sandyhome Road. If you are on the riverside walk just east of the fenced-in children’s play area consider that if you were in that area about 1700 years ago you would have seen a local grieving family carrying a coffin containing a relative to what they thought would be their final resting place.
Could there be undiscovered burials near the same area? Probably but they will be quite deep
Could they have been Christian burials? That is a question many archaeologists would like answered. [Sources: South Northants Archaeology Society Newsletter, Autumn 1978) Northamptonshire Archaeology vol 14, 1979, 109; Northamptonshire Archaeology vol 18, 1983, 65-68)
Removing invasive water hyacinth and Dredging out excess silt from a river to help keep people safe from floods, Mexico.
The Muddy River Restoration Project has tremendous potential as a catalyst for collective action in behalf of a vital, rejuvenated urban waterway. Reflecting Frederick Law Olmsted’s vision of the designed landscape as both an individual inalienable right and source of inclusive inspiration for the community, the phased revitalization of the Muddy River represents an imperative for future progress. Our objective was to build a campaign to spotlight the transforming Muddy River, celebrate its revitalization and enlist the community to protect its future. Develop a core thematic proposition (rallying slogan), integrated messaging components, logo and unifying graphic elements, all of which would constitute the campaign brand.
....................................................................................................................
The central rallying proposition conveyed that the campaign for the Muddy River:
Matters personally, so that individual involvement, like civic responsibility, becomes a wearable talking point.
Cuts across all constituent groups.
Can be embraced/engaged in simple, memorable terms.
Encompasses several levels of meaning, demanding deeper consideration. Immediacy and vastness are both parts of the message.
Brings joyous participation back to the Muddy River.
Capitalizes on the delightfully non-grandiose name “Muddy River,” elevating “muddy” to a quality worthy of respect and stewardship.
Speaks directly of “the Muddy,” bestowing familiarity and importance without necessarily including the word “River.”
Asks the question, “How can I?” (and What about you?).
Gains depth and momentum, as participants and partners join in.

Construction contractors visited the Folsom Dam auxiliary spillway Feb. 3, 2013 to get a final walkthrough of the project before submitting their proposals to work on the fourth phase of the project. Potential contractors walked the site for hours comparing maps and schematics, and observing geological features and granite core samples. Proposals must be submitted before Feb. 25 and contracts are expected to be awarded sometime in May. (U.S. Army photo by Capt. Michael N. Meyer/Released)
