Private Flood Mitigation Measures in a Changing Risk Environment
In Europe, water management is moving from flood defence to a risk management approach, which takes both the probability and the potential consequences of flooding into account. It is expected that climate change and socio-economic development will lead to an increase in flood risk in the Rhine basin. To optimize spatial planning and flood management measures, studies are needed that quantify f...
متن کاملOptimal Flood Mitigation over Flood Propagation Approximations
Globally, flooding is the most frequent among all natural disasters, commonly resulting in damage to infrastructure, economic catastrophe, and loss of life. Since the flow of water is influenced by the shape and height of topography, an effective mechanism for preventing and directing floods is to use structures that increase height, e.g., levees and sandbags. In this paper, we introduce the Op...
متن کاملEnvironmental impact assessment of structural flood mitigation measures in Metro Manila, Philippines using an analytical evidential reasoning approach
The practice of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in the planning processes of infrastructure projects has created significant awareness in many parts of the world on the benefits of environmentally sound and sustainable urban development. In the Philippines, the construction of structural flood mitigation measures (SFMMs) gets high priority from the national government to immediately addre...
متن کاملFlood Characteristics and Mitigation Issues
Among various natural disasters floods make the largest impact in terms of number of casualties, people affected and property lost. Flood data during the past 30 years show that flood events that cause significant impacts have increased at a steady rate. Available data suggest that this increase could be attributed to increasing population and exposure, increasing property values located in vul...
