Concluding notes
1. Explosive geysers were produced for the first
time under controlled conditions (laboratory
geyser).
2. The experimental study resulted in dimensionless
equations to predict geyser height and velocity.
3. A retrofitting strategy for minimizing the
occurrence of geysers has been tested with
success.

has also increased

changes in heat waves, cold waves, floods and droughts in
the United States: State of knowledge. Bulletin American

Structural measures (traditional approach)

Motivation (Cont.)
Nonstructural measures: stormwater management,
watershed management, and floodplain management
Mississippi River flood (1993)
Would have been prevented if
13 million acres of wetlands (3% of
watershed area) were constructed

Our Proposed
Siphon System
It can be REMOTELY OPERATED with a
SCADA-type control through direct
radio or wireless radio activation
Doesnt require ENERGY except for
keeping the siphon pipe full
Flood managers can operate hundreds
or thousands of these siphons
simultaneously
