Disastrous floods have caused millions of fatalities in the twentieth century, tens of billions of
dollars of direct economic loss each year and serious disruption to global trade. In this …

In recent years, the conceptual detail of hydrological models has dramatically increased as a
result of improved computational techniques and the availability of spatially-distributed …

Managing flood risk, ie both the hazard and the potential consequences, is an important
aspect of adapting to global change and has gained much traction in recent decades. As a …

Abstract Quote:“What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I
understand.”(Xunzi,∼ 300 BCE). Modelling complex interactions involving climatic features …

A physically-based, distributed hydrological model (MIKE SHE) was used to quantify
overland runoff in response to four extreme rain events and four types of simulated land use …

Over the last two decades, climatic changes have played a major role in increasing the
frequency of floods. El Bayadh city in Algeria has experienced many floods over the last …

A century of research has generated considerable disagreement on the effect of forests on
floods. Here we call for a causal inference framework to advance the science and …

Runoff discharge in the Tuku lowlands, Taiwan, has increased with land development.
Frequent floods caused by extreme weather conditions have resulted in considerable …

On artificially confined floodplains, various active processes influence the local peak flow
level. However, these active processes are often neglected in flood management because …

A central tool in risk management is the exceedance-probability loss (EPL) curve, which
denotes the probabilities of damages being exceeded or equalled. These curves are used …
