Probabilistic methods are widely adopted for residual flood hazard assessment in flood-prone areas protected by levees. Such can consider various sources of uncertainty, including breach location and event characteristics, allow the quantification result confidence. However, possible occurrence multiple levee breaches during same is usually disregarded. This paper presents a probabilistic metho...

The Flood Risk in the Netherlands project (Dutch acronym: VNK2) is a large-scale probabilistic risk assessment for all major levee systems in the Netherlands. This article provides an overview of the methods and techniques used in the VNK2 project. It also discusses two examples that illustrate the potential of quantitative flood risk assessments such as VNK2 to improve flood risk management pr...

This study describes the architecture and capabilities of an open source agent-based Java platform that permits the systematic study of interactions among hydrology, climate, and strategic human decision-making in a watershed over time. To demonstrate the platform’s use and capabilities, an application is presented in accordance with ODD protocol requirements that captures, in simplified form, ...
