Considering characteristics of high river density, special underlying surface in plain river network region, and municipal drainage system function, river network drainage unit model is proposed, which is defined as a region surrounded by main river or embankment. Flood storage variety and control projects regulation of small rivers in each unit is simulated. With drainage catchment as an objec...

Freeboard—elevation of a structure above the base flood elevation (BFE)—is critical component in mitigating or avoiding losses. However, unrevealed benefits and savings freeboard installation have prevented communities from adopting this approach. To improve decision-making for residents, prospective other stakeholders flood-vulnerable enhance risk mitigation strategies, study presents methodol...

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...

Flooding is the most damaging natural hazard in England today. Coastal flood risk management aims to reduce impacts of coastal flooding through adaptation measures including spatial planning, engineered hard and soft interventions, insurance. Yet there are few reviews which collectively assess these measures. This paper characterise evaluate policy across engineering insurance approaches, focus...

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...

The flood insurance protection gap, the level of uninsured risk, is a problem faced by many European countries and expected to increase due climate change. In some cause low demand for crowding out private uptake anticipation government compensation damage, phenomenon known as charity hazard. This study applies partial equilibrium model markets explore extent hazard gap EU-countries until 2050....
