Drone Imagery Applied to Enhance Flood Modeling
Accessible flood modeling for low-resource, data-scarce communities currently does not exist. This paper proposes using drone imagery to compensate for the lack of other flood modeling data (i.e. streamflow measurements). Three flood models were run for Dzaleka Refugee Camp, located in Dowa, …

Flood Modeling and Community Engagement in Giles County, Virginia
Evaluating and educating communities on their flood risks is an integral part of adapting to climate change and more extreme precipitation patterns. Low-income communities are often the most affected by in-land floods. They are more likely to live in floodplains and have less socioeconomic …

Enhancing Compound Flood Modeling through Efficient Data-Driven, Physics-based, and Transfer Learning Frameworks
Compound flooding in coastal and estuarine systems typically occurs during tropical and extratropical cyclones, yet its evolution in space and time remains difficult to predict using data-driven or physics-based modeling approaches. Compound flooding arises from either concurrent or successive …

Validating the Quality of Crowdsourced Data for Flood Modeling of Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas
Flood is one of the most widespread natural hazards in the world. Hurricane Harvey, a 1000-year flood event, hit Texas in 2017 and resulted in significant property damage, bodily injury, and casualty. As one of the most impacted areas, Houston is chosen to be the study area of this study. For …

Flood modelling in the Ammer watershed using coupled meteorological and hydrological models
… to a reasonable degree of certainty. In terms of flood modeling, the hereby required quality of the key input parameter precipitation is of vast importance but often remains questionable. This Ph.D. thesis presents a critical review of experiences made in the EU-funded RAPHAEL project. Different …

Predicting Flood Risks to City Infrastructure Systems Utilizing Scalable, Time Sensitive Modeling
Flooding is emerging as the most expensive and frequent natural hazard around the world. Floods are highly dynamic in nature and cause physical damage to our built environment, loss of life, economic damage, and major impacts to society. An example of this is the at-ground road system, which …

Riverine flooding using GIS and remote sensing
Floods are caused by extreme meteorological and hydrological changes that are influenced directly or indirectly by human activities within the environment. The flood trends show that floods will reoccur and shall continue to affect the livelihoods, property, agriculture and the surrounding …

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 …

Seepage Rates in Closed Basins
… of Florida, internal drainage of soil controls flooding. With the recent rapid population growth and urban development in the state, a simple, field-based method is needed to estimate seepage rates. In this study five locations in Hillsborough County, Florida, were instrumented with wells with …

Assessment of the PMPs and Design Storms Estimated from the IMERG Satellite Precipitation Data
… estimation to the watershed level because the flood modeling unit is the watershed. Chapter 3 implements two approaches for estimating watershed PMP (WPMP) using IMERG data: the Area Interpolation Method (AIM), derived from precipitation time-series data, and the NOAA-Alas-14 Area Reduction …

Aerial Cadastral and Flood Assessment for Disaster Risk Management in Appalachia
… efforts has become even more critical. Flooding is an extremely common natural disaster which can cause significant damage to homes and other property. Using low-cost drones, 3D cadastre models can be created and combined with flood models to quantify individual building risk before, …

Flood Processes, Forest Dynamics, and Disturbance In the Congaree River Floodplain, South Carolina
… biophysical linkages between the river and the floodplain. These ecosystems contain significant habitat heterogeneity and support rich diversity of species, but have been altered and manipulated by anthropogenic impacts. This study was designed to examine the forest development dynamics in …

A comprehensive modeling approach for urban rainfall - runoff simulation
Urban flood modeling is a prevalent research topic worldwide, including surface flow, underground drainage flow and especially the inevitable flow connecting with underground infrastructures in highly urbanized areas. A comprehensive modeling approach and effective mitigation measures are necessary …
