Integrated assessment of flood risk in Arial Khan floodplain of Bangladesh under changing climate and socioeconomic conditions

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2023
In the assessment of flood risk, the future flood hazard due to climate change is often tied to the present socioeconomic conditions. This makes an implicit assumption that the drivers of risk, other than the hazard, remain constant with time. Therefore,

Uncertainty in the extreme flood magnitude estimates of large-scale flood hazard models

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
The growing worldwide impact of flood events has motivated the development and application of global flood hazard models (GFHMs). These models have become useful tools for flood risk assessment and management, especially in regions where little local ...

Flood hazard assessment of Atrato River in Colombia

Water Resources Management, 2006
The flood hazard caused by Atrato River in Quibdo, northwest of Colombia is assessed using statistical modeling techniques (Gumbel and GRADEX), hydraulic modeling with HEC-RAS and the Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Three flood hazard maps for return periods of 10, 20 and 50 years are generated.

Simulation of dam-break flood and risk assessment: a case study of Chengbi River Dam in Baise, China

Journal of Hydroinformatics, 2023
When a reservoir is damaged, it will bring destruction to people's lives and the regional economy. Flood simulation and risk assessment are two effective ways to mitigate flood risk. Flood risk is assessed by using flood hazard and vulnerability indices.
