Climatic variability, unplanned land use pattern and encroachment into the flood plain are affecting the hydrology of Bagmati river basin of Nepal. In this study, methodology to improve present flood management system with non-structural countermeasures has been elaborated. Study of hydrological condition, basin scale rainfall runoff modeling and inundation analysis is helpful to prepare commun...

The Dongting Lake Basin (DTLB) of China is a flood prone area. Knowledge of the spatiotemporal characteristics and risks of precipitation extremes is essential for flood mitigation. Based on the precipitation amount (R), precipitation intensity (Ri), max 1 day precipitation amount (Rx1) and max 5 day precipitation amount (Rx5), this study analyzed the spatial-temporal patterns, risks and invest...

Floods are a natural hazard that affect communities worldwide, but to date the vast majority of flood hazard research and mapping has been undertaken by wealthy developed nations. As populations and economies have grown across the developing world, so too has demand from governments, businesses, and NGOs for modeled flood hazard data in these data-scarce regions. We identify six key challenges ...

Modern joint probability methods for estimating storm surge or flood statistics are based on statistical aggregation of many hydrodynamic simulations that can be computationally expensive. Flood risk assessments that consider changing future conditions due to sea level rise or other drivers often require each storm to be run under a range of uncertain scenarios. Evaluating different flood risk ...

A significant portion of the Canadian Maritime coastline has been surveyed with airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). The purpose of these surveys has been to map the risk of flooding from storm surges and projected long-term sea-level rise from climate change and to include projects in all three Maritime Provinces: Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. LiDAR provides th...

Various flood resilience enhancement measures have been proposed to deal with the growing problem of urban flooding. However, there is a lack evaluation about applicability these at community scale. This paper investigates effects two types measures: engineering and adaptive measures, in order explore their effectiveness different flood-prone communities. A community-scale oriented assessment m...

The treatment of organics present in the lower reaches of a major river system (the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia) before (March-July 2010), during (December 2010-May 2011) and after (April-December 2012) a major flood period was investigated. The flood period (over 6months) occurred during an intense La Niña cycle, leading to rapid and high increases in river flows and organic loads in the r...

Abstract Cisadane watershed is one of the priority watersheds to be restored immediately. The River has potency cause floods in river’s border region due a reduction river width, depth, and land-use changes. This study aims analyze distribution flood inundation by employing HEC-RAS. Flood modeling using components steady flow water level profile component. permanent use 19 January 2022 discharg...
