Urban flood modeling usually involves simulating drainage network runoff and overland flow. We describe a method for urban pluvial by coupling the stormwater management model (SWMM) with raster-based 2D hydrodynamic model, which is based on simplified form of shallow water equations. Then, applied to highly urbanized area in Nanjing City, China. The elevation shows that has comparable capabilit...

For the fast transient dam break flooding with floating bodies presented through intricate city layouts, the traditional grid-based method based on solving two dimensional (2D) Shallow Water Equations or three dimensional (3D) Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations have difficulty in modelling the 3D unsteady flow features and the moving objects in the flow, causing inaccuracies. In this pap...

Integrating FEMAs Enhanced DFIRMDB Model With ESRI's Arc Hydro Data Model Track: Water Resources Author(s): Mark Aurit, Chas Crandel, Howard Davis Advancements in technology, such as the release of ArcGIS 8, the geodatabase model, and the introduction of the Arc Hydro data model will allow for the integration of GIS technology and floodplain management. The Arc Hydro data model was designed to ...

After the disastrous flood event of 1997 in Poland, the main concern was to upgrade and modernize the existing System of Hydrological Forecasting. The new System of Hydrology (SH) that had to be developed for entire Poland was implemented as an important component of the Emergency Flood Recovery Project, financed by the World Bank. A detailed design was worked out in 2000 and a new SH was elabo...

A distributed hydrologic modeling and GIS approach is applied for the assessment of land use impact in the Steinsel sub-basin, Alzette, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. The assessment focuses on the runoff contributions from different land use classes and the potential impact of land use changes on runoff generation. The results show that the direct runoff from urban areas is dominant for a flood eve...

Any comprehensive model for earth history consistent with the data from the Scriptures must account for the massive tectonic changes associated with the Genesis Flood. These tectonic changes include significant vertical motions of the continental surfaces to allow for the deposition of up to many thousands of meters of fossil-bearing sediments, lateral displacements of the continental blocks th...

Anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have substantially contributed to intensification of heavy precipitation and thus the risk of flood occurrence, and this anthropogenic climate change is now likely to continue for many centuries. Thus, precise quantification of human-induced GHG emissions is urgently required for modeling future global warming and precipitation changes, which is stro...

The areal modeling of the extremes of a natural process such as rainfall or temperature is important in environmental statistics; for example, understanding extreme areal rainfall is crucial in flood protection. This article reviews recent progress in the statistical modeling of spatial extremes, starting with sketches of the necessary elements of extreme value statistics and geostatistics. The...
