Book excerpt: Flood Forecasting: A Global Perspective describes flood forecast systems and operations as they currently exist at national and regional centers around the globe, focusing on the technical aspects of flood forecast systems. This book includes the details of data flow, what data is used, quality control, the hydrologic and hydraulic models used, and the unique problems of each country or system, such as glacial dam failures, ice jams, sparse data, and ephemeral streams and rivers. Each chapter describes the system, including details about its strengths and weaknesses, and covers lessons learned. This helpful resource facilitates sharing knowledge that will lead to improvements of existing systems and provides a valuable reference to those wishing to develop new forecast systems by drawing on best practices. Covers global systems allowing readers to see a worldwide perspective with different approaches used by existing flood forecast systems Provides historical coverage allowing readers to understand why forecast systems have developed as they have and to see how specific systems have dealt with common problems encountered Presents a vision of what appears to be the future of hydrologic forecasting and difficulties facing hydrologic forecasting Provides a helpful resource to facilitate improvements to existing systems based on a best practices approach

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of such natural disasters as floods and landslides, highlighting the possibility of safe and correct land planning and management by means of a global approach to territory. Since the events deriving from slope and fluvial dynamics are commonly triggered by the same factor, occur at the same time and are closely related, this book analyses floods and slope stability phenomena as different aspects of the same dynamic system: the drainage basin.

Download or read book Floods written by Keith Smith and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1998-06-29 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the causes and consequences of river and coastal floods and the ways in which people can respond to the flood hazard. Individual chapters address issues such as floods as natural hazards; impacts and interpretations of flood hazard; causes, spatial characteristics and form of river floods and coastal floods; flood estimation; flood defence; flood forecasting and warning; other responses including land use planning and insurance; and a concluding discussion of problems, policies and prospects. Floods has been written by two experienced and successful authors whose complementary skills are combined to give a broad, comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the subject which can be used not only as a text book or learning manual but also as an authoritative reference source. This has been achieved by organising and structuring the material to demonstrate the continuity and linkages between the causes and impacts of flooding and the many possible responses to the flood hazard. At the same time the book ensures that discussion of each of the main themes and topics is, as far as is practicable, self-contained. The book is timely in several aspects. It addresses the topicality and universality of floods which are an increasing hazard at a time of global environmental change (climate, land use, population distribution etc.). It also offers the layman and practitioner alike a synthesis and clarification of many individual research efforts near the close of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, the degree and scale of flood hazards has been massively increasing as a result of the changing climate, and large-scale floods jeopardize lives and properties, causing great economic losses, in the inundation-prone areas of the world. Early flood warning systems are promising countermeasures against flood hazards and losses. A collaborative assessment according to multiple disciplines, comprising hydrology, remote sensing, and meteorology, of the magnitude and impacts of flood hazards on inundation areas significantly contributes to model the integrity and precision of flood forecasting. Methodologically oriented countermeasures against flood hazards may involve the forecasting of reservoir inflows, river flows, tropical cyclone tracks, and flooding at different lead times and/or scales. Analyses of impacts, risks, uncertainty, resilience, and scenarios coupled with policy-oriented suggestions will give information for flood hazard mitigation. Emerging advances in computing technologies coupled with big-data mining have boosted data-driven applications, among which Machine Learning technology, with its flexibility and scalability in pattern extraction, has modernized not only scientific thinking but also predictive applications. This book explores recent Machine Learning advances on flood forecast and management in a timely manner and presents interdisciplinary approaches to modelling the complexity of flood hazards-related issues, with contributions to integrative solutions from a local, regional or global perspective.

Book excerpt: About 7,000 people lose their lives and nearly 100 million people are adversely affected by floods each year worldwide. Flooding occurs in almost every part of the world and is the result of extreme rainfall. Severe flooding also costs billions of dollars each year in damage and economic losses. This new volume focuses on two detailed studies that employ physically based hydrologic models to predict flooding in the particularly challenging environment of small watersheds with mountainous terrain and high intensity/high variability rainfall.

Book excerpt: Timely and accurate prediction of flood inundation extent and potential negative impacts and consequences is fundamental for the sustainable development of a given region and allows decision makers and the local community to understand their exposure and vulnerability. Complex computer models exist for flood risk assessment and while technologically sophisticated, these programs are intended, first of all, for use by a small number of technical and scientific experts and require considerable processing time and extensive inputs. These existing solutions are generally not well suited for flood prediction in near real-time and often exceed the data available for any given community. This research developed standardized methods, adapted into user-friendly tools which accept limited user input, are based on hydrologic principles and processes, widely accepted risk computation methods and leverage open data. The developed flood mapping approaches access, and through a novel data fusion method, create a better quality digital elevation model (DEM) from multiple open source elevation datasets. This fused DEM is combined with other open source data (e.g., IDF curves, river flow data, watershed boundaries, etc.) to generate a flood inundation surface through two methods: (i) a 0D bathtub model and (ii) a hybrid 1D/2D raster cell storage approach. The 0D model ignores flow rates and changes over time, producing a grid of the maximum spatial extent and depth, calculated as the difference between the terrain elevation and the computed water surface. The hybrid model solves 1D kinematic wave approximation of shallow water equations in the channel and treats the floodplain as 2D flooding storage cells. Water depths from the flood grid are combined with local inventory data (e.g., building structural type, occupancy, valuation, height of the first floor, etc.) to compute exposure and damage estimates in either a user friendly MS Office application or a web-based API. The developed methods and user-friendly tools allow non-experts the ability to rapidly generate their own flood inundation scenario on demand and assess risk, thus minimizing the gap between the existing sophisticated tools, designed for scientists and engineers, and community needs in order to support informed emergency response and mitigation planning.
