flood risk zonation is necessary to control and predict the amplitude of flood damage.the purpose of this research is to evaluate the rate of flood risk vulnerability and the flood damage assessment in tabriz. specific variables of this study are land use , population density , river beds , slope classes residential density , cn coefficient , runoff coefficient , open spaces and old buildings.m...

introduction extreme floods, hyperconcentrated and debris flows are common natural hazards in the basins which located in the northern slops of alborz mountain range (iranian north system). flood occurrence in golestan national park in 2001, 2002 and 2005( hosseinzadeh and jahadi toroghi 2012), yearly flash floods in masuleh catchment( rezaei, 2009), large flood in neka basin in 1999(poorahmad ...

Among the various factors that contribute to flood risk, heavy storms, inadequate storm drainage systems, and the concentration of population and assets have usually been considered to be fundamental factors affecting flood damage. Climate change is also a real threat, bringing heavier and more frequent storms. This study presents a methodology for comparatively evaluating the impact of the flo...

The spatial representativeness of gauging stations was investigated in two low-mountainous river basins near the city of Trier, southwest Germany. Longitudinal profiles during low and high flow conditions were sampled in order to identify sources of solutes and to characterize the alteration of flood wave properties during its travel downstream. Numerous hydrographs and chemographs of natural f...

In recent years, social media emerged as a potential resource to improve the management of crisis situations such as disasters triggered by natural hazards. Although there is a growing research body concerned with the analysis of the usage of social media during disasters, most previous work has concentrated on using social media as a standalone information source, whereas its combination with ...

Typically, flash floods are studied ex post facto in response to a major impact event. A complement to field investigations is developing a detailed database of flash flood events, including minor events and null reports (i.e., where heavy rain occurred but there was no flash flooding), based on public survey questions conducted in near-real time. The Severe hazards analysis and verification ex...

The study aims to investigate the use of panchromatic (PAN) satellite image data for flood hazard assessment with an aid of various digital image processing techniques. Two SPOT PAN satellite images covering part of the Nile River in Egypt were used to delineate the flood extent during the years 1997 and 1998 (before and after a high flood). Three classification techniques, including the contex...
