consequences. For instance, severe water scarcity, more intense competition for water, and a more widespread epidemic of water-borne diseases15; flooding and polluted water resources may further lead to soil contamination, which can damage crops and disrupt food supplies16; Finally, pregnancy outcomes...
This paper presents a novel Indicator Modelling Framework (IMF) by bringing together a model from the flooding domain (HAZUS) and a model from the geospatial application domain (e.g. CityGML) and weaving them together. The weaving process automatically calculates the building replacement cost for ...
The flood damage estimation is calculated in raster format by overlaying the flood area range with thematic maps and relating this to other socioeconomic data. Several measures used to improve the geometric accuracy and computing efficiency are presented. The management issues related to the ...
They are helpful to identify the greatest potential for significantly larger flood damage if flood magnitudes should increase anywhere across the world. These results therefore provide a first-order global guide for policy making on how a change in hazard might interact with exposure. Adaptation will...
the record. It is not possible here to provide a guide to each of the methods of flood estimation currently employed. The following paragraphs, however, provide some basic guidance on the unit hydrograph rainfall–run-off method which has been used for design flood estimation in many countries....
Flash flood in the cities led to high levels of water in the streets and roads, causing many problems such as bridge collapse, building damage and traffic problems. It is impossible to avoid risks of floods or prevent their occurrence, however it is plausible to work on the reduction of the...

the damage to the stakes. In addition, the exposure factors of the stakes can be indicated. Synthesis of the functioning (and dysfunctioning) of the Loix protection system The functioning of the Loix protection system can be synthesized by a bowtie tree as shown in Figure 12. In this flowch...
emphasizes the retention of flood to reduce its adverse impact on the environment, human health, economy, and cultural activities [50]. For which relocating the existing dikes, construction of flood polders, and combination of various prevention and control measures to prevent the damage caused by...
