    For these projects, I follow the COA Drainage Criteria Manual (DCM) adopted in Williamson County and used in Travis County. Furthermore, I analyze the channel shear stress and erosivity and additional design measures are taken if necessary. For hydrology analysis, I use the HEC-HMS or PondPack software for large drainage areas and the rational method for small drainage areas. With HEC-RAS software, I perform the

    At the community level, from my observation in work, I recognized that the local communities have the best capability to adapt with the adverse impacts. People had managed to protect their livelihood resources such as cropping fields, ponds, aquaculture farms and domestic facilities. For example, in the early rainy season, some focal groups of local residents are formed. These groups are responsible for monitoring the water levels and protecting proactively the irrigation facilities and the critical

    1. Riparian Buffer Zones A riparian buffer zone is an area of vegetation in the transition zone between an aquatic environment and a terrestrial environment. A good buffer should have these combined attributes: - Connectivity and Continuity, Width, Vegetation The vegetation provides shade to regulate water temperature, the plants’ root structure serves to stabilize the banks and reduce erosion, the leaf litter input to the stream provides nutrients for aquatic organisms, and large woody debris deposits

The landform patterns at our sites were extensively governed by the movement and availability of water, with escarpments, gullies, cliffs and spurs of varying steepness all observed. Figure 1. Topographic map of the meandering
