Planning and Retrofitting for Recurrent Floods
نویسنده
چکیده
Natural hazards threaten everybody living in vulnerable areas. With the increasing concentration of people, infrastructure and facilities in them, urban areas are becoming particularly vulnerable to hazards (Pelling 2003, Perrow 2007). Hazards become disasters when they impact on human beings and their artefacts. The people and institutions involved include, amongst others, those participating in the land use planning process.

Traditional building retrofitting planning is a decision making process prior to the building retrofitting investment. Although the long term energy and financial issues of the retrofitting project are considered in some cases, the energy efficiency potentials due to the maintenance and operation of the retrofitted facilities are not sufficiently explored in existing studies. In the broad field...

Indian summer monsoon rainfall is a process which is dependent on number of environmental and geological parameter. This makes it very hard to precisely predict the monsoon rainfall. As India is agriculture based country, a long range monsoon rainfall prediction is crucial for proper planning and organization of agriculture policy. Severe hydrological events, such as droughts, may result in dec...
