Schanze, J. (author)The report follows the answers to the main goals of the study conducted by CTU. The first part review flood defence structures on the Stropnice River. The second part identifies changes in detention capacity. The detention capacity of the watershed has not change during last century, due to minimal changes in land-use. The third part identifies...report 2008

Kuze, T.. Helmuth, O.; Görner, C.; Bernhover, C. (author)A series of sensitivity studies have been performed to estimate the impact of presumed global warming on synoptic scale weather events. Within the framework of an epignostic study, mesoscale simulations of the Elbe river flood (August, 2002) employing the COSMO-DE model of the DWD have been carried out. The first set of runs was realised on a...report 2008

Sanchez-Arcilla, A. (author)This Deliverable presents a summary of results obtained in Task 2: Estimation of Extremes of the EU (Framework Program 6) FLOODsite project. The report deals with the estimation of extremes for risk assessment in fluvial, coastal and estuarine environments. The approach, techniques and conclusions are, however, general enough to be of...report 2008

Delrieu, G. (author)A radar structured algorithm system (radar SAS) has been set up and assessed by the FLOODsite Task 15 partners. This system is aimed at improving quantitative precipitation estimation of storm rainfall for flash-flood forecasting in mountainous regions. A number of innovative quantitative pprecipitation estimation (QPE) algorithms aimed at a...report 2008

Lumbroso, D. (author)The report provides a summary of the work that has been carried out in Task 17 under Theme 2 of the EC research project FLOODsite that focused on evacuation modelling and traffic management related to flood events. When flooding of populated areas occurs or is likely a management system for the road network in and around the flood prone areas is...report 2008

Neelz, S. (author)This report concerns the analysis of flow/discharge measurements obtained from a set of 441 rigid breach models constructed between 22/07/1996 and 10/12/1998 at the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in Stillwater, Oklahoma, US, by G.J. Hanson and colleagues. Each model consisted of a rigid...report 2008

Delrieu, G. (author)This report summarizes the work done by the meteorological team of the TU Dresden within the FLOODsite Task 15 Radar and satellite observation of storm rainfall. The aim of this Task was the development of a radar and satellite Structured Algorithm System (SAS) for quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) at the space and timescales of...report 2008

Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Risk identification consists of defining the hazard, loss causing event E, probability P(E) of that event, perception Pe(E,P(E)) and consequences C(Pe) of that perception. Risk identification is followed by risk management, whose purpose is to mitigate the risks, for example by reducing P(E) or C(Pe) and providing suitable risk communication to...report 2008

Mens, M. (author)FLOODsite (task 19). The objective was to link knowledge and models from FLOODsite theme 1 (risk analysis) and theme 2 (risk management) in a Decision Support System (DSS) in support of flood event management planning and practice. The specific objectives were: 1. To obtain insight into the different types of decision support systems that have...report 2008

Olfert, A. (author)Effective risk reduction requires the optimal understanding of the causes of risk, options of risks reduction and ways of their implementation. Especially with regard to risk reduction options much has changed in recent decades. Many measures and instruments, which are the actual tools of risk reduction, have developed to reduce risk in various...report 2008

Parker, D. (author)Flood warning benefits have hitherto been modelled by predicting the damages saved by moving the contents of properties on receipt of a flood warning. The research described in this report has developed a new flood warning benefit estimation model capable of capturing a much wider range of potential economic benefits. This model is based upon a...report 2008

Lutoff, C. (author)The Gard River case study focuses on human behaviour and casualties during the September 8-9, 2002 flash floods in order to provide estimates of the potential loss of life for this type of flood and elements for a calibration of the proposed model. The study contributes to Actions 1 and 2 of Activity 1 in Task 10 in helping to identify the...report 2007
