A geographically explicit flood simulation model was designed and implemented as a tool for policy making support, illustrated here with two simple flood management strategies pertaining to the Upper Tisza area in Hungary. The model integrates aspects of the geographical, hydrological, economical, land use, and social context. The perspectives of different stakeholders are represented as agents...

This paper describes a workflow management system that was implemented according to the requirements of a Flood forecasting application [1] developed in the CrossGrid project [2]. The flood forecasting application contains several simulation models (meteorological, hydrological, hydraulic) implemented as the grid jobs. A need for a cascade execution of these models has been a motivation for cre...

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) flood attack remains great threats to the Internet. This kind of attack consumes a large amount of network bandwidth or occupies network equipment resources by flooding them with packets from the machines distributed all over the world. To ensure the network usability and reliability, real-time and accurate detection of these attacks is critical. To date, va...

In order for the Indian government to maximize Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM), the Brahmaputra River has played an important role in the undertaking of the Pilot Basin Study (PBS) due to the Brahmaputra River’s annual regional flooding. The selected Kulsi River—a part of Brahmaputra sub-basin—experienced severe floods in 2007 and 2008. In this study, the Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation ...

Correct prediction of flood extents in urban catchments has become a challenging issue. The traditional urban drainage models that consider only the sewerage-network are able to simulate the drainage system correctly until there is no overflow from the network inlet or manhole. When such overflows exist due to insufficient drainage capacity of downstream pipes or channels, it becomes difficult ...

Urbanization and climate change are the main driving force in development of sustainable strategies for managing water cities, such as urban drainage systems (SUDS). Previous studies have identified necessity to develop decision-making tools SUDS order adequately implement these structures. This study proposes a simulation–optimization methodology that aims ease process when selecting placing S...

The operation of flood retarding areas does not attract much attention, although they are important components of flood control systems. Poor operation of such areas restricts not only the socio-economic development of the flood retarding area, but also limits scientific flood control options. As the second-largest flood retarding area in China, with more than 2000 km2 and 300 polders, the Hong...
