Flood risk reduction has always been vital to the Netherlands. The complexity that flood risk managers are facing has grown over time and is expected to do so due to developments of new knowledge, methods, innovations and ...

Multifunctional flood defence systems combine flood defence functions with elements in the flood protection zone that fulfil other functions like nature, housing or agriculture. The wide range in possible combinations of ...

After the adoption of the European Floods Directive in 2007, Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment (EPRI) was carried out in 2011 in France. It highlighted the protection of road infrastructures from flood hazards as an important ...

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 ...

This work aim is to present the communication systems that are currently available on the market and to discuss them regarding their use, shortcomings, potential improvement and development opportunities. It also presents ...

Flooding is a ubiquitous and frequent hazard in Central Europe in both low-lying river valleys and off the floodplains. Recent record-breaking inland floods, such as the Central European floods of 2013, are a stark reminder ...

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 ...

In a complex network river, hydrodynamic interactions – changes of hydrodynamic characteristics downstream due to upstream effects – play an important role when determining flood hazard and risk. The correct representation ...

Land use change, managed retreat, and relocation programs are examples of exposure reduction measures in Flood Risk Management (FRM). Procedural justice research can help to address inequalities in people’s ability to shape ...
