Flood risk analysis for river confluences: Evaluation of the use of long synthetic time series for the Rhine River

Floods are among the most common and devastating natural hazards worldwide. A key challenge is to select and implement efficient measures to reduce the flood risk, within limitations of budget, time, space, and societal acceptance. Interactions between joining rivers in flood plains and cities lead to several challenges in flood risk studies....

Determining the effects of a hydropower dam and climate change on salt intrusion in the Gambia estuary up to 2100

Due to climate change, temperatures are rising worldwide resulting in sea level rise, higher evaporation and possible changes in precipitation patterns. These effects of climate change influence salt intrusion, particularly by affecting the freshwater supply. In The Gambia also a planned hydropower dam and possibly future irrigation development...

River discharge modelling based on surface flow velocity estimations: A combination of Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry and three dimensional discharge modelling

Rivers have long since exceeded their natural purpose of discharging excess water, by becoming subject to many practical applications demanded by present day society [61]. In order to comply withthis variety of needs and demands, the necessity for proper water management arises, which in turn requires data and knowledge of hydrological...

Flood Wave Monitoring using LSPIV: A methodology for monitoring flood waves in an equatorial urban stream with fast response time

To develop warning systems for flood events, create precipitation-runoff relationships, validate runoff models, or to understand the behaviour of rivers, understanding of the amount of water flowing through rivers is needed. The low-cost and novel gauging method using Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV) could complement discharge...
