[1] Annual maximum peak discharge time series from 572 stations with a record of at least 75 years in the eastern United States are used to examine flood peak distributions from a regional perspective. The central issues of this study are (1) “mixtures” of flood peak distributions, (2) upper tail properties of flood peaks, (3) scaling properties of flood peaks, (4) spatial heterogeneities of fl...

Early flood warning and real-time monitoring systems play a key role in flood risk reduction and disaster response decisions. Global-scale flood forecasting and satellite-based flood detection systems are currently operating, however their reliability for decision making applications needs to be assessed. In this study, we performed comparative evaluations of several operational global flood fo...

Among the various factors that contribute to flood risk, heavy storms, inadequate storm drainage systems, and the concentration of population and assets have usually been considered to be fundamental factors affecting flood damage. Climate change is also a real threat, bringing heavier and more frequent storms. This study presents a methodology for comparatively evaluating the impact of the flo...

The worsening condition of floods in Malaysia, in terms of frequency and impact, calls for improvement in all aspects of flood management. In addition to technology enhancement of, and developing expertise, it is hoped that improvement on the governance of flood management could alleviate the problems relating to floods. Governance of flood management aims to address the issues related to flood...

drought monitoring and evaluation in water resources systems, are basic steps in systems analysis aswell as the optimal water resources allocation for different demands. therefore, in this study, whole of irancountry was selected as the study area, and it was attempted to determine the simultaneous droughts whichhad been occurred in the period of 1981-2010, using monthly rainfall data of 31 syn...

flood risk zonation is necessary to control and predict the amplitude of flood damage.the purpose of this research is to evaluate the rate of flood risk vulnerability and the flood damage assessment in tabriz. specific variables of this study are land use , population density , river beds , slope classes residential density , cn coefficient , runoff coefficient , open spaces and old buildings.m...

A recent trend of sea level shows constant rising. Sea rise has caused a significant risk to seaside areas. This study examines the potential effect climate change and rising levels on coastal regions evaluates susceptibility areas in Inverloch, Melbourne Australia. model Hypothetically Flooded Zones, based LiDAR data was built, processed manipulated ArcGIS. Through applying this model, infrast...
