Modelling Human-Flood Interactions A Coupled Flood-Agent-Institution Modelling Framework for Long-Term Flood Risk Management

Modelling Human-Flood Interactions A Coupled Flood-Agent-Institution Modelling Framework for Long-Term Flood Risk Management

The negative impacts of floods are attributed to the extent and magnitude of a flood hazard and the vulnerability and exposure of natural and human elements. In flood risk management (FRM) studies it is crucial to model the interaction between human and flood subsystems across multiple spatial temporal and organizational scales. Models should address the heterogeneity that exists within the human subsystem and incorporate institutions that shape the behaviour of individuals. Hence the main objectives of the dissertation are to develop a modelling framework and a methodology to build holistic models for FRM and to assess how coupled human-flood interaction models support FRM policy analysis and decision-making. To achieve the objectives the study introduces the Coupled fLood-Agent-Institution Modelling framework (CLAIM). CLAIM integrates actors institutions the urban environment hydrologic and hydrodynamic processes and external factors which affect FRM activities. The framework draws on the complex system perspective and conceptualizes the interaction of floods humans and their environment as drivers of flood hazard vulnerability and exposure. The human and flood subsystems are modelled using agent-based models and hydrodynamic models respectively. The two models are dynamically coupled to understand human-flood interactions and to investigate the effect of institutions on FRM policy analysis. | Modelling Human-Flood Interactions A Coupled Flood-Agent-Institution Modelling Framework for Long-Term Flood Risk Management

Advances in Urban Flood Management

Advances in Urban Flood Management

One of the effects of global climate change is the increasing variability of extreme flood events and cyclones. Current measures to mitigate flood impacts particularly in the urban environment are based on previously-planned flood risk intervals and no longer provide sufficient protection. Being prepared for unexpected changes and extreme flood events asks for a paradigm shift in current strategies to avoid and manage flood disasters. In order to stem the increasing impact of urban floods a major rethink of current planning and flood management policies and practice is required taking into account different spatial and temporal scales. This book addresses a broad spectrum of relevant issues in the emerging field of urban flood management. It may act as a stimulus for further research and development in urban flood management while informing and engaging stakeholders in the promotion of integrated and cooperative approaches in water management. An interdisciplinary approach which will be of interest to all those who are active in water risk and urban management. | Advances in Urban Flood Management

Flood Control and Drainage Engineering 3rd edition

Flood Control and Drainage Engineering 3rd edition

Primarily written as course material on flood control and drainage engineering for advanced students of civil engineering this third edition is thoroughly revised. It accommodates recent developments in remote sensing information technology and GIS technology. New additional material deals with problems of flood forecasting flood plain prioritization and flood hazard zoning and engineering measures for flood control. Drainage improvement is tackled with particular regard to salinity and coastal aquifer management from the ingress of sea water. The book includes design problem-solving and case studies making it practical and applications-oriented. The subject matter will be of considerable interest to civil engineers agricultural engineers architects and town planners as well as other government and non-government organizations | Flood Control and Drainage Engineering 3rd edition

Flood Hazards Impacts and Responses for the Built Environment

Flood Hazards Impacts and Responses for the Built Environment

A 360-degree view of the response to flood risk As major flooding events around the world show the impact of flooding on the built environment can cause widespread chaos. These flood events form part of a wider pattern of increasing flood frequency coupled with increased vulnerability of the built environment to flood hazard. Flood risk can unite or divide communities and the responses to potential risk can range from denial to perfect adaptation. Drawing on the experience of communities and experts Flood Hazards: Impacts and Responses for the Built Environment offers guidance on managing urban flooding and flood risk. It brings together a diversity of viewpoints and experiences on flood impacts and responses from leading academics flood restoration specialists emergency responders architects planning consultants insurers policymakers and community representatives. By including the perspective of the community and the views of households and businesses at risk this volume makes a unique contribution to the literature on flood management. The chapter organization loosely corresponds to the phases of the disaster management cycle covering emergency preparation and response; recovery repair and reconstruction; and mitigation and adaptation. Contributors examine the types of impacts and discuss forecasting and emergency warning. They describe processes and good practice in recovery of flood-damaged property from the perspectives of the insurance industry restorers and loss adjusters. The book also deals with business continuity land-use planning property-level and infrastructure protection and urban drainage looking at the regulation and design of the built environment as one way to reduce risk. A section on community response to flooding sheds light on the experiences of flood-affected families. Written for students practitioners and researchers in flood risk management as well as for professionals who may encounter flood-related issues in the course of their work this cross-disciplinary book makes a valuable contribution towards designing a future built environment that is more resilient to flood risk. | Flood Hazards Impacts and Responses for the Built Environment
