Widespread flooding with significant damage in many countries, such as the Philippines in 2013, highlights the ongoing need for effective flood risk management (FRM). This hinges on comprehensive access to and dissemination of information about the elements and the people at risk. Simulations, real-time graphs, and maps illustrate the spatial distribution of flood risks, spatial allocation and ...

Natural disasters are one of the things that have risks and hazards to population. This study aims simulate flood hazard calculate its impact on Hitoyoshi area, Japan residential areas. was chosen as case because area experienced a catastrophic in 2020 destroyed city. The calculation this is also based mapping land function, damage buildings, building materials, especially areas affected by flo...

Flood disasters and snow disasters are frequent disasters in China, causing considerable economic loss and serious damage to towns and farms. The problems of how these two disaster types distribute and what disaster-forming environments are important to their occurrence are the most pressing problems in disaster risk assessment and salvage material arrangement. The present study aims to establi...

Floods represent the most devastating natural hazards in the world, affecting more people and causing more property damage than any other natural phenomena. One of the important problems associated with flood monitoring is flood extent extraction from satellite imagery, since it is impractical to acquire the flood area through field observations. This paper presents a method to flood extent ext...

Development of cities and villages, agricultural farms and industrial regions in abutment and/or in the course of streams and rivers or in prone flood lands has been caused more notations in hydrology problems and city planning topics. In order to protection of cities against of flood damages, embankment construction is a desired and scientific method. The cities that located in arid zones may ...

With the publication of eight original research articles, four types of advances in the remote sensing of floods are achieved. The uncertainty of modeled outputs using precipitation datasets derived from in situ observations and remote sensors is further understood. With the terrestrial laser scanner and airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) coupled with high resolution optical and radar...

New ports are mostly constructed on low lying coastal areas or shallow coastal waters. The quay wall and terminal yard are raised to a level well above mean sea level to assure flood safety. The resulting ‘conventional terminal’ requires large volumes of fill material often dredged from the sea, which is costly. The terminal yard of a ‘polder terminal’ lies below the outside water level and is ...

China frequently experiences natural disasters, of which flooding is the most serious. How to monitor and control natural disasters, assess damage, and provide relief is the most urgent problem for the Chinese government and disaster experts. A national integrated system using remote sensing, geographic information systems, the Global Positioning System, and other technology for monitoring and ...

The 1998 flood had smaller peak discharges than of the 1954 flood (largest flood in the 20 century) at most gauging stations in the middle and lower reaches, but resulted in higher peak stages. One of the reasons of this higher water stages is the decrease in the surface area and storage capacity of natural lakes due to the excess impoldering agricultural land and sedimentation. However, there ...
