The Role of Integrated Water Management in Watershed Flood Management

Flood Management from the Perspective of Integrated Water Resource Management

The Associated Flood Management Programme of the World Meteorological Organisation and Global Water Partnership (2002) has suggested that there are a number of implications for flood management. he first of these is to recognise that the catchment is a system. If we consider the functioning of the catchment; it is a dynamic system in which there are exchanges and movements of sediment, water an...

Role of Watershed Management Practices on Flood Hydrograph Characteristics (Case Study: Kakhk Paired Watershed)

In the present study, the impact of watershed management practices on flood hydrograph characteristics was investigated using HEC-HMS model. In order to design, calibrate, and validate the model, data from a representative paired watershed (Kakhk Watershed, Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran) was collected and field surveys were performed to have the dataset further completed. Results of paired sam...

The Role of Financial Instruments in Integrated Catastrophic Flood Management

The main goal of this paper is to develop a flood management model that takes into account the specifics of catastrophic risk management: highly mutually dependent losses, the lack of information, the need for long-term perspectives and explicit analyses of spatial and temporal heterogeneities of various agents such as individuals, governments, and insurers. We use modified data from a pilot re...

Effects of Watershed Management Practices on Some of Flood Characteristics Change in Haftan Watershed

Evaluation of watershed projects is one of the most fundamental problems in countries for future implementation planning and management of natural resources. In regard to lack of required equipment for monitoring and evaluation of watershed projects and investigation of management measures in watersheds, application of hydrologic models is an efficient tool for simulation of watershed behavior ...
