Flood hazard assessment for extreme flood events [PDF]
Natural Hazards, 2016 Climate change is expected to result in an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. In turn, this will result in more frequent occurrences of extreme flood events, such as flash flooding and large-scale river flooding. This being the case, there is a need for more accurate flood risk assessment schemes, particularly in areas ...

Development of seasonal flow outlook model for Ganges-Brahmaputra Basins in Bangladesh [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2016 Bangladesh is crisscrossed by the branches and tributaries of three main river systems, the Ganges, Bramaputra and Meghna (GBM). The temporal variation of water availability of those rivers has an impact on the different water usages such as ...

ReAFFIRM: Real-time Assessment of Flash Flood Impacts: a Regional high-resolution Method [PDF]
, 2020 Flash floods evolve rapidly in time, which poses particular challenges to emergency managers. One way to support decision-making is to complement models that estimate the flash flood hazard (e.g.

Geomorphic Flood Hazard Mapping: From Floodplain Delineation to Flood-Hazard Characterization
Hydrological Sciences Journal, 2023 Recent studies show how geomorphic descriptors, retrieved from digital elevation models (DEMs), can be used for flood hazard mapping. As they strictly depend on the accuracy of the input DEMs and reference flood hazard maps used for training, DEM-based flood hazard models may display severe inconsistencies.

The role of the courts in conflict resolution in UK flood risk management
Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2023 Conflicting interests in flood risk management (FRM) frequently arise, resulting in disputes which are often resolved through mutual agreement. Nevertheless, a small number of cases require legal intervention when negotiation or mediation fails. This can

Innovation in flood risk management: An ‘Avenues of Innovation’ analysis
Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2021 Innovation in flood risk management (FRM) is a driver for change. Research, however, is sparse in this area, and innovation itself appears to be left largely to chance. This paper uses a ’systems of innovation’ approach, defining ’avenues’ of innovation,

, 2022 This article reviews concepts and methodological approaches commonly used in fluvial geomorphology to understand and analyze flood hazards, spanning from catchment to reach spatial scales. Modern fluvial geomorphology applied to flood hazard studies has developed close links with hydrology and engineering to provide a holistic approach for flood hazard

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 ...

Flood risk management through a resilience lens
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 To prevent floods from becoming disasters, social vulnerability must be integrated into flood risk management. This Comment advocates that the welfare of different societal groups should be included by adding recovery capacity, impacts of beyond-design ...
