Near real-time flood detection in urban and rural areas using high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar images [PDF]
, 2012 A near real-time flood detection algorithm giving a synoptic overview of the extent of flooding in both urban and rural areas, and capable of working during night-time and day-time even if cloud was present, could be a useful tool for operational flood ...

Stochastic urban pluvial flood hazard maps based upon a spatial-temporal rainfall generator [PDF]
, 2015 It is a common practice to assign the return period of a given storm event to the urban pluvial flood event that such storm generates. However, this approach may be inappropriate as rainfall events with the same return period can produce different urban ...

A rapid flood inundation model for urban flood analyses
MethodsX, 2023 An efficient inundation model is required for flood early warning systems in urban areas. A 2D flood model uses a governing shallow water equation, and this model is computationally expensive despite benefiting from parallel computing techniques. As an alternative to conventional flood models, cellular automata (CA) and DEM-based models (DBMs) have ...

Urban Flooding in Kenya From a Psychosocial Perspective [PDF]
, 2018 There are legislative and engineering interventions coupled with increased community participation to mitigate urban flooding. However, there is an observed increase in flood events and their impact in these environments globally; and participation by ...

Application of a Three-Dimensional Unstructured-Mesh Finite-Element Flooding Model and Comparison with Two-Dimensional Approaches [PDF]
, 2016 Urban flood modelling plays a key role in assessment of flood risk in urban areas by providing detailed information of the flooding process (e.g. location, depth and velocity of flooding).

Twitter - a new citizen science solution for urban flood database #urban floods #flood database
, 2023 Abstract High spatial heterogeneous behavior of urban floods offers challenges in its monitoring, modeling and assessment, and lack of flood database further increases complexity. This study proposes a twitter-based framework to develop a flood database.

Resilience effect of decentralized detention system to extreme flooding events
Journal of Hydroinformatics, 2023 The experiences from recent urban flooding events suggest that the conventional centralized detention systems based on detention size expansion with minimum costs need to accommodate the extreme flooding events exceeding their design capacity. This study

Groundwater flooding within an urbanised flood plain [PDF]
, 2012 In Europe in recent years, there has been recognition of the need to better understand the risk from groundwater flooding. This recognition has been due both to the occurrence of major flooding events clearly attributable to groundwater and the inclusion

Comparison of the impacts of urban development and climate change on exposing European cities to pluvial flooding [PDF]
, 2017 The economic and human consequences of extreme precipitation and the related flooding of urban areas have increased rapidly over the past decades. Some of the key factors that affect the risks to urban areas include climate change, the densification ...
