Floods are the most recurrent, widespread and damaging natural disasters, and are ex-pected to become further devastating because of global warming. Blockage of cross-drainage hydraulic structures (e.g., culverts, bridges) by flood-borne debris is an influen-tial factor which usually results in reducing hydraulic capacity, diverting the flows, dam-aging structures and downstream scouring. Australia is among the countries adversely impacted by blockage issues (e.g., 1998 floods in Wollongong, 2007 floods in Newcas-tle). In this context, Wollongong City Council (WCC), under the Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR), investigated the impact of blockage on floods and proposed guidelines to consider blockage in the design process for the first time. However, existing WCC guide-lines are based on various assumptions (i.e., visual inspections as representative of hy-draulic behaviour, post-flood blockage as representative of peak floods, blockage remains constant during the whole flo

and especially as they looked to try and tie this to secretary of state hillary clinton, they re really looking carefully at suggestions that top floor management at the state department knew about some of what was going on and actually played a role in watering it down. and the first reaction here on capitol hill was to say look, the state department hasn t had an official inspector general in years for all of hillary clinton s tenure and they suggest that these state department investigators who prepared this report were intimidated by political appointees. and that s so in other words, people have told nbc or have told anybody in the news business that they were intimidated from telling the full story here about these abuses in the department? i talked to staffers on capitol hill who are familiar with the investigation who say that they ve had state department employees or rather people who are familiar with what s gone on at the state department come to them and
