A rainfall threshold-based approach to early warnings in urban data-scarce regions: A case study of pluvial flooding in Alexandria, Egypt

Young, A.T. (author), Bhattacharya, Biswa (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author)

Rapidly expanding cities in the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region are at risk of flooding due to heavy rainfall, insufficient drainage capacity, a lack of preparedness and insufficient data to conduct required studies. A low regret Early Warning Systems (EWS) using rainfall thresholds is proposed as a cost-effective short-term...

Flood Forecasting Using Passive Microwave Radiometry in the Zambezi River, Zambia

Keunen, Oscar (author)

Humans have always populated in the vicinity of river systems, where thesupply of water, nourishment and transportation is obtained from the river.However, inundation is a re-occurring problem and impact of floods are ex-pected to increase due to climate change. Accurate flood forecasting andearly warning is critical for disaster risk management...

Probabilistic flood forecast model based on remote sensing information

Zhang, Zixin (author)

This study aims to explore the possibility of employing remote sensing images to build a probabilistic flood extent forecasting model. This model is constructed and tested in two study areas: New Orleans and Miami. Images that recorded flooding events are first performed with segmentation method Seed Region Growing, and segmented images are...

Development and evaluation of flood forecasting models for forecast-based financing using a novel model suitability matrix

Hagen, Jenny Sjåstad (author), Cutler, Andrew (author), Trambauer, Patricia (author), Weerts, Albrecht (author), Suarez, Pablo (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)

Forecast-based financing is a financial mechanism that facilitates humanitarian actions prior to anticipated floods by triggering release of pre-allocated funds based on exceedance of flood forecast thresholds. This paper presents a novel model suitability matrix that embeds application-specific needs and contingencies at local level on a...

The impact of future sea-level rise on the global tides

Pickering, M.D. (author), Horsburgh, K.J. (author), Blundell, J.R. (author), Hirschi, J.J.-M. (author), Nicholls, Robert J. (author), Verlaan, M. (author), Wells, N.C. (author)

Tides are a key component in coastal extreme water levels. Possible changes in the tides caused by mean sea-level rise (SLR) are therefore of importance in the analysis of coastal flooding, as well as many other applications. We investigate the effect of future SLR on the tides globally using a fully global forward tidal model: OTISmpi....

Towards a rapid assessment flood forecasting system for the Southern California coast

Van Engelen, T.E. (author)

Coastal inundation models are benefited by timeliness of the predictions, not only when it comes to real-time forecasting but also considering risk assessment studies and sensitivity analysis. Numerical models however are often subjected to a trade-off between accuracy and efficiency, especially when dealing with large geographic scales. In this...

Operational flood forecasting, warning and response for multi-scale flood risks in developing cities

Rogelis Prada, M.C. (author)

Flood early warning systems are recognized as one of the most effective flood risk management instruments when correctly embedded in comprehensive flood risk management strategies and policies. Many efforts around the world are being put in place to advance the components that determine the effectiveness of a flood early warning system. The aim...
