Industry Research into Dam and Levee Breach Erosion Through Coarser Grained Materials
(2021)Predicting breach erosion processes is essential for the effective risk management of both dams and levees. In recent years, a variety of research efforts have improved our knowledge of erosion processes, and in particular ... -
Influence of water depth on wave overtopping
(2021)The wave overtopping discharge during extreme storm conditions largely determines the required crest height in dike reinforcement projects. In case of future sea level rise, crest heights should be increased significantly, ... -
Interdisciplinary approach to flood risk and the Consequence of Flooding
(2021)This paper describes an alternate approach to prioritizing pluvial flood risk intervention strategies, and quantifying Consequence of Flooding (CoF) by applying the methodology of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). ... -
Internal Erosion Breach Model Review and Validation
(2021)Predicting breach erosion processes is essential for the effective risk management of both dams and levees. Following the success of an earlier initiative to assess the performance of breach models for predicting overflow ... -
International Guidelines on Natural and Nature-Based Features
(2021)Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) have been used for decades to support a variety of objectives in coastal and fluvial systems. Coastal and fluvial restoration projects have been used in Europe, the United States ... -
International Handbook for Emergency Response to Flood Risk: A call for collaboration
(2021)Flood emergency response is an essential component of a flood risk management strategy. Effective flood emergency response depends on implementing the appropriate measures, and on executing them correctly. The skills and ... -
Investigating ways to predict channel changes to inform flood risk management now and in the future
(2021)Floods can cause severe and rapid changes in rivers. They can erode river banks and deposit vast quantities of sediment. This can impact on land-use, infrastructure (such as bridges and culverts), and properties where flood ... -
Investigation, assessment and remediation of levee transitions
(2021)Transitions between levees (earthen flood embankments) and other hard structures are areas of weakness within an overall system of flood defences and can be found at any location, on or within a flood defence where there ... -
Living with floods and land management strategies in Nepal
(2021)Land management is often addressed as a secondary matter in flood prevention, but should be given more attention. Land is a crucial factor in how societies and communities cope with changing flood risk, so policies must ... -
Managing drought effects on levees in England and The Netherlands
(2021)Until quite recently, drought-related risks to levees received relatively little attention in The Netherlands and England, despite the fact that hot and dry summer periods became more common since about 1989, with 2003 ... -
Next generation exploration of UK future flood risks: High resolution climate, population and adaptation futures
(2021)Under the Climate Change Act 2008 the UK Government is required to publish a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) every five years. In response to this requirement future flood risk across the UK is explored here under ... -
Odra River Basin Flood Protection Project - implementation of the flood risk management plan
(2021)Over the last 30 years large floods have occurred in Central Europe, causing multi-billion euros of losses. There were floods on the rivers Rhine (1991,1993), Odra (1997, 1998), Vistula (2001, 2010), Tisa (2001), and Elbe ... -
On the implementation of the French methodology for flood damage assessment to economic activities.
(2021)Flood damage assessment to economic activities is affected by a general paucity of data to both describe the strong diversity that characterises this sector and validate existing flood damage models. This study aims to ... -
Operating and optimising multifunctional urban flood protection - Lake Phoenix Dortmund
(2021)Lake PHOENIX in the heart of the city of Dortmund simultaneously fulfills many functions. In terms of city planning the lake is very significant. First and foremost it serves the local recreation of the citizens. The ... -
Operational river ice and water temperature forecasting on the Hungarian Danube reach
(2021)The operation river ice and water temperature forecasting system of the Hungarian Hydrological Forecasting Service is based on a dual approach. The estimation of the energy balance of the Danube River is carried out as a ... -
People, not just places: Expanding social vulnerability indices by social-psychological factors
(2021)Damage and disruption caused by floods do not just arise from the characteristics of physical structures, but also from the characteristics of residents inhabiting these structures. Social vulnerability studies typically ... -
Pilot project EroL: Erosion events caused by heavy rainfall in Markgräflerland- Recommended actions for affected communities
(2021)The foothill of the Black Forest, east of the river Rhine in the north of Basle, has a high potential for soil erosion hazards because of its topography and geology in combination with its land use. The district of Lörrach ... -
Pluvial flooding: hazard mapping and derivation of impact indicators
(2021)Climate change is likely to cause a change in frequency and intensity of convective thunderstorms and associated heavy precipitation. Typical consequences of such events are a rapid generation of surface runoff with high ... -
Post-disaster reorganisation of local and national institutions: the case of St. Martin after hurricane Irma (West Indies)
(2021)With the concept of "build back better", the United Nations emphasizes the importance of the recovery phase following a natural hazard as an opportunity to implement vulnerability reduction measures. This work here focuses ... -
Post-event Flood Damage Surveys: A New Zealand Experience and Implications for Flood Risk Analysis
(2021)Disaster risk managers are shifting from hazard-centric identification of asset exposure, to quantitative risk assessments based on an understanding of asset vulnerability to impacts. For flood hazard management this shift ...
