Analysis of flood hazard under consideration of dike breaches
… an efficient protection against low magnitude flood events, dikes may fail under the load of extreme water levels and long flood durations. Hazard and risk assessments for river reaches protected by dikes have not adequately considered the fluvial inundation processes up to now. Particularly, …

Income Inequality And Vulnerabiility To Flood Hazard In Brazil
… countries. To test this relationship, I create a flood hazard vulnerability index at the municipality level and determine whether income inequality, measured at the municipality level, is a predictor of municipality vulnerability to flood hazard. The flood hazard vulnerability index incorporates …

Large-scale 3D environmental modelling and visualisation for flood hazard warning.
… areas such as city planning, virtual tourism and flood hazard warning. With the rapid development of computer technologies, it has become possible and necessary to develop new methodologies and techniques for real time simulation for virtual environments applications. This thesis proposes a novel …

Comparison of models to mitigate flood hazard to transportation alignments on alluvial fans
… better discharge estimates for alluvial fan flood mitigation studies than the one-dimensional, stochastic Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) model; A modified version of the one-dimensional, stochastic FEMA model (French, 1992), and the one- and two-dimensional, deterministic models, …

Willingness to pay for property and nonproperty flood hazard reduction benefits: an experiment using the contingent value survey method
… 1986 has increased attention to the ability of flood control benefit assessment methods to serve the joint need of assessing the economic and financial feasibility of a project. The Contingent Value Method is identified as an alternative flood control benefit assessment method. The findings of a …

Examining Residents' Vulnerability from the Flood Hazard in the Onion Creek Neighborhood of Austin Texas: Who is At-Risk and Why?
… of downtown Austin that falls within the base floodplains where Base elevations are provided. As a result, it is a high-intensity flood zone. Demographically speaking, the region is occupied by residents of which the majority live above the poverty line and have an average Household Income of …

Floods in Germany : analyses of trends, seasonality and circulation patterns
Flood hazard estimations are conducted with a variety of methods. These include flood frequency analysis (FFA), hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, probable maximum discharges as well as climate scenarios. However, most of these methods assume stationarity of the used time series, i.e., the series …

Investigating Compound Flood Using Remote Sensing And Hydrodynamic Modeling
<p>Flooding is a frequent and destructive natural disaster that poses serious risks to infrastructure and socio-environmental systems. It involves multiple processes (e.g., coastal, pluvial, and fluvial) that can combine to cause more devastation than any process alone, called compound flooding …

The dynamics and resilience of river cities as coupled human-natural systems
… are challenged simultaneously by heightened flood risk and degraded river health. The prevailing approach to flood hazard mitigation--flood control, has been criticized to be ineffective for long-term flood safety. Flood control is also well-understood to be destructive to river-floodplain …

Modelling of future flood risk across Canada under climate change
… into a macro-scaled hydrodynamic model: CaMa-Flood to simulate 25 km resolution daily streamflow across Canada for historical (1961-2005) and future (2061-2100) time-periods. Future changes in flood-hazard as a consequence of changes in flooding frequencies of historical 100-year and 250-year …

Floodplain and Flood Probability Mapping Using Geodatabases
… presents methods of creating digital maps for floodplain delineation and flood probability studies and storing them in a geodatabase. Methods for creating a geodatabase for water resources outside of a GIS are presented. The geodatabase follows the ArcHydro data model. Methods are also shown …

The Petrochemical Industrial Complex of the St. Charles Parish Industrial Corridor and its Influence on Urbanization Patterns
… natural levee, which is the most elevated and flood resistant land in the town. In order to test these observations, the author of this thesis has collected parcel-level land use data in Norco to determine the flood hazard and topographical characteristics of these various land uses. Spatial …

A meta-analysis of Holocene fluvial activity in the Southeastern U.S.
Flood hazard is a reality in the Southeastern U.S., which is exacerbated by the high uncertainty of flood hazard as a result of short, discontinuous stream gauge records. Extreme flood events captured in the instrumental record often represent outliers, however, paleorecords reveal these extreme …

Incorporating Wider Infrastructure Disruption in Urban Flooding Resilience Investments
… for mitigating disruptions caused by natural hazards, particularly in flood-prone urban areas. This research explores the application of resilience concepts, CI interdependency models, and quantitative assessment frameworks to enhance infrastructure resilience. A key focus is developing …
