Dealing with Uncertainty in Flood Management Through Diversification [PDF]
Ecology and Society, 2008 This paper shows, through a numerical example, how to develop portfolios of flood management activities that generate the highest return under an acceptable risk for an area in the central part of the Netherlands. The paper shows a method based on Modern

Hydraulic assessment of flood protection measures proposal
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019 Abstract Ensuring flood protection is a never-ending task, therefore there is always something to improve or add. Nowadays there is a big boom in detention reservoir projecting for smaller river basins in Slovakia. This paper focuses on flood protection proposal for village Vel’ká Lúka located in the central part of Slovakia.

Efficiency of flood protection measures: selected examples
Water Policy, 2019 Abstract The frequency of flood loss events is increasing, both regionally and globally, due to the rising population and subsequent development of flood-prone areas, and as a result of environmental and climatic changes. This observation is not universally true for the time series of the losses themselves, at least not in the past one ...

INVESTMENT IN FLOOD PROTECTION MEASURES UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE UNCERTAINTY [PDF]
Climate Change Economics, 2011 Recent severe river flooding in Europe has triggered debates among scientists and policy-makers on future projections of flood frequency and the need for adaptive investments, such as flood protection measures. Because there exists uncertainty about the impact of climate change on flood risk, such investments require a careful analysis of expected ...

Flood risk management and ‘fairness’: aspirations and reality [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 Flood risk management in United Kingdom has been going through a process of rapid change in the last decade or so, no doubt spurred on by a series of very serious floods since the year 2000.

Hess Opinions: An interdisciplinary research agenda to explore the unintended consequences of structural flood protection [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018 One common approach to cope with floods is the implementation of structural flood protection measures, such as levees or flood-control reservoirs, which substantially reduce the probability of flooding at the time of implementation.

The benefits of flood mitigation strategies: effectiveness of integrated protection measures
AIMS Geosciences, 2020 Given the investments that local, regional, and national governments have already made in mitigation and may consider in the future, it is crucial to assess mitigation effectiveness across all scales and determine which strategies are the most appropriate.
