Increasing the forecasting lead-time of Weather Driven Flash-floods

Sandrine, A. (author)

In the first section we define the problem of flash-flood forecasting and we list the main scientific issues that need to be addressed. In the second section we briefly describe the previous European programmes devoted to flash flood. The dispersion of the efforts within programmes that were not only concerned by flash flood lead to the...

Post Flash-flood Investigations

Gaume, E. (author)

Large research efforts have been made on the analysis and modelling of the meteorological aspects of the flash-flood triggering storms (see for instance the proceedings of the European Geophysical Union Plinius conferences on Mediterranean storms) or on landslides and concentrated flows. In comparison, the analysis of the dynamics of the runoff...

Flood damage, vulnerability and risk perception - challenges for flood damage research

Messner, F. (author)

The current state-of-the-art in flood damage analysis mainly focuses on the economic evaluation of tangible flood effects. It is contended in this discussion paper that important economic, social and ecological aspects of flood-related vulnerabilities are neglected. It is a challenge for flood research to develop a wider perspective for flood...

A combining analysis of three Catastrophic Precipitating Events over Western Mediterranean region

Nuissier, O.; Ducrocq, V.; Sandrine, A. (author)

Within the framework of FLOODsite, specific attention is dedicated to improve our understanding of flash flood. Flash floods differ markedly from floods occurring on larger basins with larger time characteristics. Flash floods are produced by rain accumulations of typically more than 200 mm during less than 6 hours over natural watersheds...

Six out-of-the-box ideas for flood prevention

Salter, S. (author)

It is now accepted that the combination of more intense rainfall, poor planning of built-up areas, rising sea levels, coastal erosion and, in particular, higher storm surges pose a real threat to the UK and many other countries. At a meeting at the Institution of Civil Engineers held on 7 July 2003, the Government Chief Scientist Professor David...

The Roach and Crouch Flood Management Strategy: A Case Study for the Economic Assessment and Valuation of Multifunctional Flood Management Projects

Thomas, K. (author), Turney, P. (author)

The main focus of this report is to describe the economic appraisal techniques applied to the RCFMS. The majority of the discussions on policies and procedures are specific to England. An overview of the differing funding processes and procedures in the rest of the UK (Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) is provided in Appendix A. In addition,...

Living on the edge

Muller, M. (author)

If the sea were to flood the southern parts of the agglomeration that covers most of the western part of the Netherlands, the death toll would be in the thousands, as predicted by a calculation method developed at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). Evacuation would save precious few lives. So how can a disaster of this magnitude be averted?
