The cities of the Global South need to become more flood resilient in light of climate change and rapid urbanisation. In this thesis, a land-use modelling case study for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region is executed on the interaction of flood risk and land use, through which future flood resilience was assessed for several urban planning...

Flooding is one of the most damaging natural disasters worldwide, and presents a signi_cant risk for a large amount of the global population. For the development of ood disaster management strategies, policy makers make use of ood hazard maps to inform investment strategies to reduce risk. In many current ood hazard mapping methods, the role of...

Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are singular storms causing intense wind, large waves, extreme water levels, and heavy rainfall. TCs prove every year to be one of the most destructive natural phenomena worldwide. The quantitative assessment of the hazards resulting from TCs (i.e., flooding and extreme winds) is challenging since satellite data are...

Flood risk analysis focused on small sections or regions of embanked systems ignores the dy-namics of large-scale floods through time and space. Resulting measures are oftentimes inef-ficient due to an over estimation of risk or be-cause they simply transfer risk downstream due to increased localised protection upstream. This present work...

Small Island Developing States, including many low-lying atoll islands, are among the most vulnerable countries to natural hazards and climate change disproportionately amplifies this vulnerability. Hence, there is a strong need for disaster risk reduction and risk management. Further development and implementation of methodologies for flood...

Shanghai is one of the numerous megacities worldwide that experience severe flood events triggered by torrential rainfall. To deal with the undesirable consequences of these events and mitigate the flood hazard, the research of flood reduction measures is necessary. In this effort, the hydrodynamic modelling is a useful tool.<br/>In this master...

Current global riverine flood risk studies assume a constant mean sea level boundary. In reality high sea levels can propagate up a river, impede high river discharge, thus leading to elevated water levels. Riverine flood risk in deltas may therefore be underestimated. This paper presents the first global scale assessment of the joint...

Tropical cyclones generate risk of compound flooding in coastal watersheds due to both precipitation and storm surge. For regions prone to this phenomenon, it is clear that in order to properly quantify flood hazard...

This study presents a novel methodology to estimate the impact of local sea level rise and extreme surges and waves in coastal areas under climate change scenarios. The methodology is applied to the Ebro Delta, a valuable and vulnerable low-lying wetland located in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. Projections of local sea level accounting...

There is increasing attention for the robustness of systems, in view of more frequent and more extreme weather events. Calls to increase a system's robustness are usually motivated by the resulting reduced sensitivity to extreme events and uncertainties about their probability of occurrence. The concept has been elaborated for flood risk systems...

In 2010 a large flash flood hit El Arish City, killing at least 6 people and causing a lot of damage. This was not the first time the Sinai was affected by these flash floods, more than 40 flash floods have been recorded in the El Arish watershed in the last 100 years. The...

Flooding is the most common and one of the most damaging natural hazards globally. It has severe societal, economic and environmental consequences. Damages from floods are expected to worsen with changing climate and increasing population andwealthworldwide. Within the last decades, advances in computational power and increases in the number of...

One of the main obstacles in mapping flood hazard in data scarce areas is the difficulty in estimating the design flood, i.e. river discharge corresponding to a given return period. This exercise can be carried out using regionalization techniques, which are based on flood data of regions with similar hydro...

The objective of this report is a pilot study application of general vulnerability analysis techniques developed in FLOODsite sub-theme 1.3, in one of the flood cells to identify the effectiveness of flood management strategies. Chapter 1 describes the preconditions of the work, Chapter 2, based on the results of the analysis of the...

This report presents guidelines for Coastal Flood Hazard Mapping. They are specially suited for coastal sedimentary environments where the impact of extreme events results in an impulsive coastal response which will interact with the induced flooding. The guidelines cover most of the technical aspects to be considered for preparing flood hazard...

A methodology has been developed to estimate loss of life from flood events. In order to reduce the risk to life it is necessary to understand the causes of loss of life in floods and what kind of intervention and flood risk management measures may be effective in eliminating or reducing these losses. Data on flood events were gathered from 25...

This document can be considered as a kind of “cookbook” for preparing flood maps. The “cookbook” was made in the framework of the PPA04/SK/8/13 project entitled “Determination of inundation area”. The project focussed on the transfer of knowledge in the field of preparing flood maps as required in the Slovak Water Act and resorts under the EVD....
