Flood Prevention by Optimal Dike Heightening
Dike height optimization is of major importance to the Netherlands since a large part of the country is below sea level and high water levels in rivers may cause floods. In this paper we propose a cost-benefit analysis to determine optimal dike heights. We improve the model proposed by Van Dantzig (1956) after a devastating flood in the Netherlands in 1953. For one important class of the dike i...
متن کاملMultiscale modelling in real-time flood forecasting systems: From sand grain to dike failure and inundation
Severe events around the globe have highlighted the threat to life, infrastructure and the environment posed by flooding. Flood forecasting systems are a vital component of broader flood risk management activities. These systems are becoming increasingly more sophisticated as their importance in reducing life loss and economic damages is realized. Part of this increase in complexity is focused ...
متن کاملVirtual Dike and Flood Simulator: Parallel distributed computing for flood early warning systems
The paper presents two simulation modules –Virtual Dike and Flood Simulator– developed for flood Early Warning Systems (EWS). The UrbanFlood EWS is a distributed system that (1) analyzes sensor data received in real-time from flood defenses (dikes, dams, etc.) and (2) simulates dike stability, breaching and flood propagation. Computational modules are invoked by workflow-based expert scenarios ...
متن کاملStatistical Evaluation of Historical Dike Failure Mechanism
Statistical evaluation of historical dike failure mechanism The failure mechanism of flood protection dikes includes physical (geotechnical, seepage) processes leading to a dike breach. An awareness of the failure mechanism is required directly in dike stability calculations and indirectly for risk calculations. Statistics of historical data indicate among others the distribution and frequency ...
متن کاملA Framework for Flood Risk Analysis and Benefit Assessment of Flood Control Measures in Urban Areas
Flood risk analysis is more complex in urban areas than that in rural areas because of their closely packed buildings, different kinds of land uses, and large number of flood control works and drainage systems. The purpose of this paper is to propose a practical framework for flood risk analysis and benefit assessment of flood control measures in urban areas. Based on the concept of disaster ri...
