Machine learning-based identification of key factors and spatial heterogeneity analysis of urban flooding: a case study of the central urban area of Ordos by Yu Qin, Yingdong Yu, Jiahong Liu, Ruifen Liu

“…Comprehensive analysis with spatial heterogeneity shows that high-risk areas are mainly affected by ISD, road density (> 10,000 m/km2) and low altitude (< 1300m) in urban built-up areas, while low-to-medium risk areas are sensitive to vegetation coverage (> 7,000) and Dis2Water bodies (> 1,500m). (4) Hierarchical governance strategy: A three-level spatial governance strategy is proposed: in the core area, priority is given to ISD control (< 0.2) and pipe network upgrades; in the transitional area, slope interception and ecological restoration are combined; and in the potential risk area, a multi-scale monitoring and early warning system is established for multi-scale monitoring.…”

Ross Rucker, Ethan Schoolman, David Specca, Kevin Sullivan, Daniel Ward, Mike Westendorf, Christian Wyenandt

“… Agrivoltaics is a new technology that has the potential to positively impact commercial farming by combining agricultural practices with the generation of solar energy. While some yield reduction is to be expected, resulting from less sunlight reaching the plant canopy and ground occupied by support structures, the generated electricity provides a low-risk supplemental income to farmers. …”
