Shaping resilient flood control system design through net present value assessments. [PDF]
PLoS ONEDesigning sustainable Flood Control Systems (FCSs) requires considering both the resiliency of the system and the long-term viability of investments. In this regard, our research aimed at integrating concepts of hydrological resiliency and cost-benefit ...

Climate change adjustments in engineering design standards: European perspective
Water Policy, 2021 The European Commission Flood Risk Directive review shows that while many nations have embraced the concepts of flood risk management, there is still quite more to do in delineating risk–cost-effective measures and developing cost estimates and financing

Uncertainty analysis of flood control design under multiple floods [PDF]
Water Resources Management, 2020 The conventional flood control design analysis usually focuses on a specific aspect like flood peak discharge or the volume of flood, with the development of technology, hydrological analysis tends to be multi-dimensions research. The multivariate frequency analysis of a flood has been widely investigated, while there is lack of literatures about flood

Flood frequency analysis of Manas River Basin in China under non‐stationary condition
Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2021 Incorporating 50 years of flood data for the Manas River Kenswat Hydrological Station from 1957 to 2006, the Pettitt test and Mann–Kendall trend test are used to analyse non‐stationarity of the flood characteristic sequences.

Stochastic urban pluvial flood hazard maps based upon a spatial-temporal rainfall generator [PDF]
, 2015 It is a common practice to assign the return period of a given storm event to the urban pluvial flood event that such storm generates. However, this approach may be inappropriate as rainfall events with the same return period can produce different urban ...
