Pluvial floods are rain-related that occur when water drainage is not fast enough due to heavy rainfall. One of the key components in management urban pluvial flood risk (UPFR) perception (RP). The objective this paper was define factors RP based on selected variables and examine their reliability. Emphasis placed contextualization five related cognition: awareness (F1) situation: anthropogenic...

In recent years, ultra-high-intensity rainfall at home and abroad has caused frequent urban waterlogging disasters, posing a severe threat to people’s lives, property city’s safety. Based on the satellite image data of Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone in different periods Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), this paper establishes model heavy under underlying surface complex city, analyses t...

Urban floods are paralyzing surface transportation and inflicting heavy economic losses. Climate-induced increase in frequency intensity of rainfalls excessive urbanization makes urban centers even more vulnerable to floods. It is necessary quantify all dimensions losses caused road connectivity improve flood mitigation policy. There a need consolidate the existing body peer-reviewed contempora...

Abstract. In recent years, urban floods occur frequently in China, and flood disaster has become one of the important reasons for sustainable development cities. Photogrammetry remote sensing technology advantages large observation range, amount information, fast speed, good real-time performance strong dynamic. It plays an increasingly role control reduction, support means reduction China. Thi...

Two-third of the area of the Netherlands is flood prone. Storm surges at the North Sea, floods in the rivers, failure of secondary dikes, as well as heavy rainfall may cause flooding. Most of the flood prone areas rely for their existence on drainage by pumping, because their surface level may be permanently or during floods up to several metres below the surrounding water levels. During the pa...

Between the 11 and 13 October 2005 several flash floods were produced along the coast of Catalonia (NE Spain) due to a significant heavy rainfall event. Maximum rainfall achieved values up to 250 mm in 24 h. The total amount recorded during the event in some places was close to 350 mm. Barcelona city was also in the affected area where high rainfall intensities were registered, but just a few s...

Despite improvements in preparedness, response, and recovery, the intensity of floods is increasing on a global scale. There is no way to fully prevent or mitigate against floods. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the flood resilience of communities around the world. Due to differences in the location, topography, and socio-economic characteristics of communities, flood risk and resilience ...

natural hazards in the form of floods, quakes, cyclones, and the like have existed since the earth has come to being. in recent decades, in spite of scientific and technological developments in forecasting incidents, building construction and crisis management have imposed heavy expenses on human societies. the importance of many natural hazards is so great that to predict the very occurrence a...

Surat faced the most devastating flood on 7 August 2006. This flood preceded by heavy rains in the catchment areas of Ukai Dam, and consequent massive releases of water from the dam from 6 August through 11 August 2006, inundated the city, and slums were the worst hit. Studies have reported increased mosquito breeding and epidemics of malaria as an aftermath of floods in Mandla1, subsequent to ...

We investigate the impact of large floods on civil conflict in a sample of 125 countries between 1985 and 2009, employing GDP growth as a potential transmission channel. We instrument for floods and control for potential spatial and temporal dependency of civil conflict. We find that floods increase the probability of conflict incidence through their effect on GDP growth.
