The long-term physical and psychological health impacts of flooding: A systematic mapping.

Science of the Total Environment, 2018
BACKGROUND Flooding has caused significant and wide ranging long-term health impacts for affected populations. However, until now, the long-term health outcomes, epidemiological trends and specific impact factors of flooding had not been identified.

Flood risk and flood management

Journal of Hydrology, 2002
Abstract Risk management has been established as a well defined procedure for handling risks due to natural, environmental or man made hazards, of which floods are representative. Risk management has been discussed in many previous papers giving different meanings to the term—a result of the fact that risk management actually takes place on three ...

Chemical Flooding and Miscible Flooding

2018
Chemical flooding is an important tertiary oil recovery technology that can improve oil recovery by adding various chemicals in the injected water. Miscible flooding is an oil displacement method using miscible phase injectant as the displacing agent. In recent years, both chemical flooding and miscible flooding have developed rapidly.

Flood Generation and Flood Waves

2013
Catchment hydrological response and resulting flood generation are governed by a suite of complex interactions between basin characteristics, storm properties, and antecedent wetness conditions. This chapter links soil water movement at the plot scale to runoff production at the hillslope scale through to flood generation at the catchment scale ...

Flood waves and flooding models

1994
The paper briefly recalls the theory and properties of flood waves in the first part. The second part is devoted to physical models. These models can be used to study the impact of river crossings or any other kind of construction on floods and to design compensation works, or to define mitigation measures in small areas.
