Evolution of flood protection levels and flood vulnerability in Europe since 1950 estimated with vine-copula models

Natural Hazards
The magnitude of flood impacts is regulated not only by hydrometeorological hazard and exposure, but also flood protection levels (primarily from structural flood defenses) and vulnerability (relative loss at given intensity of hazard).

Efficiency of Polder Modernization for Flood Protection. Case Study of Golina Polder (Poland)

Sustainability, 2020
This paper presents an analysis of the effectiveness of variants of the reconstruction of a polder, which is part of the flood protection system of a large urban agglomeration. The Golina polder, located in the floodplain of the Warta River, was selected

Cutting the costs of coastal protection by integrating vegetation in flood defences

Nature Communications, 2021
Exposure to coastal flooding is increasing due to growing population and economic activity. These developments go hand-in-hand with a loss and deterioration of ecosystems.

Levees, Diversion Canals or Flood Expansion Areas?

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Risk Flood protection involves works which reduce the hydraulic hazard in protected areas in terms of frequency, duration, water level, water velocity or flood arrival time. These works are parts of protection systems.

Machine Learning to Evaluate Impacts of Flood Protection in Bangladesh, 1983–2014

, 2020
Impacts of climate change adaptation strategies need to be evaluated using principled methods spanning sectors and longer time frames. We propose machine-learning approaches to study the long-term impacts of flood protection in Bangladesh. Available data

Geo-Referenced Databases and SWOT Analysis for Assessing Flood Protection Structures, Measures, and Works at a River Basin Scale

Hydrology
This research aims to evaluate the operational effectiveness of current flood protection infrastructure and measures in a flood-prone area using geo-referenced information systems and SWOT analysis. To achieve this, all existing flood protection measures
