Flood Insurance as a Flood Management Tool: An Economic Perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Flood insurance is an insurance contract that covers losses to properties caused by flooding. Although floods affect Asia more than any other continent in the world, flood insurance is still at its nascent stage in the region.

Have applications of continuous rainfall-runoff simulation realized the vision for process-based flood frequency analysis? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Keith Beven was amongst the first to propose and demonstrate a combination of conceptual rainfall–runoff modelling and stochastically generated rainfall data in what is known as the ‘continuous simulation’ approach for flood frequency analysis.

Model‐based estimation of long‐duration design precipitation for basins with large storage volumes of reservoirs and snowpacks

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management
This study proposes a model‐based methodology to estimate design precipitation for long durations during the winter and spring seasons (October to June) through its application to the drainage areas of two dams in the Columbia River Basin, United States.

Deep Uncertainty Surrounding Coastal Flood Risk Projections: A Case Study for New Orleans

open access: yes, 2017
Future sea-level rise drives severe risks for many coastal communities. Strategies to manage these risks hinge on a sound characterization of the uncertainties. For example, recent studies suggest that large fractions of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) may

Flood risk control of dams and dykes in middle reach of Huaihe River

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2014
Three stochastic mathematical models for calculation of the reservoir flood regulation process, river course flood release, and flood risk rate under flood control were established based on the theory of stochastic differential equations and features of ...

Anticipating climate change: knowledge use in participatory flood management in the river Meuse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Given the latest knowledge on climate change, the Dutch government wants to anticipate the increased risk of flooding. For the river Meuse in The Netherlands, the design discharge is estimated to increase from 3800m3/s to 4600m3/s.
