India: Flood Management - Damodar River Basin
Information is provided about the approach and experience in flood management in the Damodar river basin of India. This is achieved through a scheme for the integrated operation of a number of reservoirs on that river and on its tributaries for the purpose of irrigation, hydropower generation and flood protection. Of particular interest is the recent change in policy towards a multi-disciplinar...
متن کاملEngaging Local Communities through Local Knowledge of Flood Disaster Management in the Pahang River Basin, Malaysia
Natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes impact many parts of Southeast Asia. In Malaysia, recent floods—such as those in 2014−2015—have caused untold damage to property and livelihoods. Up to that point, flood management had mainly emphasized disaster response, rather than risk-reduction strategies. The aim of this paper is to identify the local knowledge and practices of flood-affecte...
متن کاملFlood Risk and River Basin Management
The aim of this study is to identify the sources of uncertainty that induce the largest uncertainties in the model outcomes and quantify this uncertainty using expert elicitation. Analysis of expert opinions showed that the Qh-relation and the roughness predictor of the main channel cause the largest uncertainties for design water level computations. For effect studies, the floodplain topograph...
متن کاملFlood Risk and River Basin Management
Recent scenario studies on water management focus on one or two projection years and the effects on the water system and functions. The future is however more complex and dynamic. Therefore, we analyse transient scenarios in order to evaluate the performance of water management strategies. Current available simulation tools are not suitable for this purpose. Therefore, we have developed and use...
متن کاملKnowledge-based approaches for river basin management
Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract Rare attempts to use knowledge technologies and other relevant approaches are found in the river basin management. Some applications of expert systems as well as utilization of soft computing techniques (as neural networks or genetic algor...
