A Mathematical Model for Flood Protection
Many regions in the world are protected against flooding by a dike, which may be either natural or artificial. We deal with a model for finding the optimal heights of such a dike in the future. It minimizes the sum of the investments costs for upgrading the dike in the future and the expected costs due to flooding. The model is highly nonlinear, nonconvex, and infinite-dimensional. Despite this...
متن کاملFlood protection and management: quo vadimus?
In the last decade, there have been many destructive floods in various parts of the world. Despite the extensive investment in flood control works, neither flood occurrences nor damages are decreasing. A possible consequence of climate change is an increased frequency of extreme meteorological events that may cause floods. Discussion is offered of some recent large floods in the world and of th...
متن کاملMachine Learning Methods for Environmental Monitoring and Flood Protection
More and more natural disasters are happening every year: floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc. In order to reduce the risk of possible damages, governments all around the world are investing into development of Early Warning Systems (EWS) for environmental applications. The most important task of the EWS is identification of the onset of critical situations affecting environment and po...
متن کاملEconomically efficient flood protection standards for the Netherlands
Within the context of the Dutch Delta Programme, economically efficient flood protection standards for the entire Netherlands were calculated using a recently developed methodology for cost-benefit analysis and up-to-date insights into flood risk assessment. This results in economically efficient flood protection standards for different parts of the Netherlands that significantly differ from cu...
متن کاملCookies Along Trust-Boundaries (CAT): Accurate and Deployable Flood Protection
Packet floods targeting a victim’s incoming bandwidth are notoriously difficult to defend against. While a number of solutions have been proposed, such as network capabilities, thirdparty traffic scrubbing, and overlay-based protection, most suffer from drawbacks that limit their applicability in practice. We propose CAT, a new network-based flood protection scheme. In CAT, all flows must perfo...
