Exploration of flood forecasting and flood mitigation
2021Floods are one of the most destructive natural disasters. They can have significant consequences such as loss of life and property. For preparedness and effective mitigation, engineers develop methods to predict floods before they occur. In this study, I investigated the performance of the Iowa Flood Center's flood forecasting method in mountainous ...

Combined flood routing and flood level forecasting
Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2002This paper presents a proposed modeling approach which uses unsteady flow hydraulic modeling for both flood routing and flood level determination. The onerous data requirements of hydraulic models in the flood routing application are overcome through the use of a "limited geometry" approach to describe channel geometry. In populated areas, where flood

Flood Forecasting Model Selection
2007Flood forecasting models provide the capability to issue reliable warnings to the population at risk of flooding. The categories of models developed over the years range from simple empirical models to integrated catchment models combining rainfall runoff, flow routing and hydrodynamic components.

Flood forecasting and infiltration modelling.
2004The role of accuracy in the representation of infiltration on the effectiveness of real-time flood forecasting models was investigated. A simple semi-distributed model of conceptual type with adaptive estimate of hydraulic characteristics included in the infiltration component was selected.

An Ontology Framework for Flooding Forecasting
2014Floods can cause significant damage and disruption as they often affect highly urbanized areas. The capability of knowledge using and sharing is the main reason why the ontologies are suited for supporting the phases of forecasting in (near-) real time disastrous flooding events and managing the flooding alert and emergency. This research work develops

The International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) considers floods worldwide as one of the most severe dangers to mankind. Figure 16.1 shows the dominance of floods among natural disasters (Munchner Ruckver- sicherung 1997). This is the reason, why presently billions of dollars are spent for measures (structural and non-structural) of ...
