A Fuzzy AHP Approach to Assess Flood Hazard for Area of Bang Rakam Model 60 Project in Yom River Basin, Northern Thailand

Applied Environmental Research, 2022
The Thai government developed the “Bang Rakam Model 60” to solve flood issues in low-lying areas (Phitsanulok and Sukhothai Provinces). In the project, farmers will have to start planting in early April and harvest in July.

Flood Hazard Assessment Mapping in Burned and Urban Areas [PDF]

Sustainability, 2021
This study proposes a simple method to produce a flood hazard assessment map in burned and urban areas, where primary data are scarce. The study area is a municipal unit of Nea Makri, a coastal part of the eastern Attica peninsula (central Greece), which has been strongly urbanized and suffered damage from urban fires in 2018.

Assessing flood hazard on dynamic rivers

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2001
Recurrent flooding of the Red River in 1997, North Carolina's Tar River in 1999, and the Mississippi River in 1993, 1995, and 2001 has led to speculation that human activities contribute significantly to these disasters. New analyses of historical hydrologic data from the Mississippi River quantify systematic increases in flood stages for equal ...

Flood hazard in Slovenia and assessment of extreme design floods [PDF]

Acta hydrotechnica, 2020
Due to the lack of hydrological measurements in the torrential areas and smaller catchment areas of Slovenian rivers, in accordance with the European Floods Directive, we used an empirical equation to estimate the magnitude of a 500-year flood (Q500).
