Final Report- Assessing Flood Risk in a Changing Climate in the Mohawk and Hudson River Basins

نویسنده

  • Stephen Shaw
چکیده

The first four sections reflect basic research that has gone into better understanding processes that dictate discharge and stage on the Hudson , Mohawk, and tributaries. Work from Sections 3 and 4 (precipitation intensity and ice jams) is ongoing. We plan to have publications on these two topics complete by the end of the spring. Work on Sections 1 and 2 is complete and provides some helpful conclusions that can provide insight into predicting potential future flooding.

Spatial Analysis of Flood Hazard in Nirchay River Basin Using HEC-HMS Model and and fuzzy logic

Floods are one of the most abundant and destructive natural disasters that every year are caused heavy losses of life and property. Due to human activity in river systems and construction in rivers, flood damage has an upward trend. One of the most important actions to reduce flood damage is the provision of flood hazard zoning maps and their use in spatial planning. In this study, the risk of ...
