In the present study, the suitability of HEC-HMS to simulate event-based rainfall-runoff in the catchments of Revubue in Mozambique and Ardèche in France was evaluated. These are tributaries of two important rivers in ...

Coastal areas are highly vulnerable to climate change and, in these areas as elsewhere, the assessment and management of climate risks is a key issue. Among natural hazards, flood is one of the most damaging. Flood mapping ...

Different types of floods are frequently causing important economic and personal damages in a variety of locations within Navarre, a region located in northern Spain. Navarre is found very close to the Cantabrian sea, but ...

The aim of this paper is to describe an innovation in the monitoring of performance of earth embankments, namely the use of sensing systems for full-time monitoring of ash pond and irrigation pond seepages. In the past ...

The increase in flood events intensity and recurrence has considerably weakened urban areas and populations. The material and human damages led to social, economic, political, political and environmental impacts that can ...

Although hydraulic infrastructure such as levees remain important for flood risk management in the USA, France, and Quebec (Canada), there is increasing emphasis on non-structural measures, such as regulatory flood maps, ...

Climate informee planning of adaptation actions requires consistent and reliable information about future risks as well as appropropriate tools and services to support comprehensive flood risk assessment and management. ...

This paper describes the ambition of the Environment Agency to develop and trial predictive condition-based monitoring systems for its mechanical and electrical flood risk management equipment. The aims, objective and ...

The production of pluval flood hazard maps have became increasingly important in recent years. In contrast to fluvial flood hazard modelling a more detailed consideration of small surface structures and permeable structures ...

Managed realignment is the landward relocation of a primary flood defence line. Because of this relocation, former land re-inundates, intertidal habitats can restore and new foreshores can develop adjacent to relocated ...
