Flood Frequency Analysis is usually based on the fitting of an extreme value distribution to the series of local streamflow. However, when the local data series is short, frequency analysis results become unreliable. Regional frequency analysis is a convenient way to reduce the estimation uncertainty. In this work, we propose a regional Bayesian model for short record length sites. This model i...

Damage assessments of natural hazards supply crucial information to decision support and policy development in the fields of natural hazard management and adaptation planning to climate change. Specifically, the estimation of economic flood damage is gaining greater importance as flood risk management is becoming the dominant approach of flood control policies throughout Europe. This paper revi...

Management of flood risk remains a major problem in many urban environments. To generate the data needed for estimation risk, catchment models have been used with reliability predicted response design dependent upon model calibration. However, level calibration required to achieve reliable unspecified. The purpose this paper is assess event modelling accuracy if from calibrated are be continuou...

In Floods Directive’s first cycle implementation (2010–2015), German indicators value were adapted to Polish conditions. approach was due lack national statistics necessary determine property. this study, prepare...

Economical integration of permanent and emergency flood control options is a long-standing problem in water resources planning and management. A two-stage linear programming formulation of this problem is proposed and demonstrated which provides an explicit economic basis for developing integrated floodplain management plans. The approach minimizes the expected value of flood damages and costs,...

estimation of the magnitude and frequency of maximum instantaneous discharges and hydrographs are used for a variety of purposes, such as the design of bridges, culverts, flood-control structures; and the management and regulation of floodplains. fuller (1914), developed a flood-frequency formula based on analysis of flood peaks in hundred of streams to provide simple methods of estimating maxi...

A methodology for satellite based flood detection developed at Dartmouth Flood Observatory (DFO) wasmodified at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission and implemented on an automaticoperational basis. The technique is using AMSR-E passive microwave remote sensing data of the descendingorbit, H polarization, 36 GHz band which is sensitive to water surface chan...
