Numerical model for the prediction of total dynamic landslide forces on flexible barriers

The opportunity is to design and manipulate these reconstructed landscapes so that water is stored and conserved, and water quality is naturally managed. Heterogeneous geologic materials can be arranged and layered, and landforms sculpted, to minimize runoff, enhance infiltration, and promote surface and subsurface storage. Similarly, discharge of poor quality water can be minimized or focused. And, appropriate vegetation may help to conserve water. To achieve these ends, careful attention must be paid to the entire water budget, the variability in its components, and interconnections between hydrologic units, in both space and time.
