Previous research on exposure to flood hazards suggests that individuals characterized by low social vulnerability are more likely to reside in coastal flood hazard zones than individuals of higher social vulnerability, but few studies have examined if similar exposure patterns can be observed in inland flood hazard zones. This paper examines differences in environmental justice implications be...

The aim of this paper is to recommend a rapid classification system for sustainable flood retention basins (SFRBs) to control runoff in a temperate climate. The system should improve communication among engineers and scientists, and was developed with a general database (approximately 660 basins) and a very detailed database (56 basins), using the River Rhine catchment in the South of Baden (Ge...

The use of multispectral satellite imagery for water monitoring is a fast and cost-effective method that can benefit from the growing availability medium–high-resolution free remote sensing data. Since 1970s, has been exploited by adopting different techniques spectral indices. high number available sensors their differences in spatial characteristics led to proliferation outcomes depicts nice ...

Flood is one of the most important natural disasters affect China greatly, especially for southeast cities. To help mitigate the loss brought by it, technologies such as simulation, visualization, decision support system, etc. could be utilized in the process of emergency management for city flood. Thus the Flood Simulation and Decision Support System (FSDSS) comes into being. It is an integrat...

While the process of modeling and mapping a 100-year floodplain is inherently full of uncertainty, engineers are still required to determine a single line boundary for flood insurance rate and other floodplain studies. This is despite the fact that a good engineer knows that, within reasonable limits, different modeling parameters can be chosen that result in shifting the floodplain boundary ei...

Many technical infrastructure operators manage facilities distributed over large areas. They face the problem of finding out if a flood hit specific facility located in open countryside. Physical inspection after every heavy rain is time and personnel consuming, equipping all with detection expensive. Therefore, methods are being sought to ensure that these monitored at minimum cost. One possib...

An increase in the occurrence of sudden local flooding of great volume and short duration has caused significant danger and loss of life and property in Korea as well as many other parts of the World. Since such floods usually accompanied by rapid runoff and debris flow rise quite quickly with little or no advance warning to prevent flood damage, this study presents a new flash flood indexing m...

Abstract—Flash flood is occurred in short time rainfall interval: from 1 hour to 12 hours in small and medium basins. Flash floods typically have two characteristics: large water flow and big flow velocity. Flash flood is occurred at hill valley site (strip of lowland of terrain) in a catchment with large enough distribution area, steep basin slope, and heavy rainfall. The risk of flash floods ...

Flood damage modelling is an important component in flood risk management, and several studies have investigated the possible range of flood damage in the coming decades. Generally, flood damage assessments are still characterized by considerable uncertainties in stage-damage functions and methodological differences in estimating exposed asset values. The high variance that is commonly associat...
