Extract flood duration from Dartmouth Flood Observatory flood product

2017 6th International Conference on Agro-Geoinformatics, 2017
Climate change has become a hot topic in recent years. Flood is one of the most common natural hazards caused from extreme climate change. Scientists have spent a lot of money and time on monitoring flood in past decades. The development of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) brings new ways for scientists to analyze, monitor, and ...

Risk assessment and sensitivity analysis of flash floods in ungauged basins using coupled hydrologic and hydrodynamic models

Journal of Hydrology, 2019
Flash floods are among the most devastating natural hazards but the analyses of flash floods are hindered by the lack of hydro-meteorological data. In particular, data issues are critical in ungauged basins.

Flood enhancement through flood control

Geology, 2001
Flood stages for constant discharge have increased 2–4 m over the past century at numerous locations in the Mississippi River basin. However, no increases are observed on rivers such as the Meramec and the upper Missouri, which have been spared extensive river engineering projects.

Historical Floods in Europe in the Past Millennium

Changes in Flood Risk in Europe, 2019
The paper focuses on floods in Europe derived from documentary evidence during the past millennium. The beginnings of early-instrumental and systematic-instrumental hydrological observations in Europe are discussed.

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.
