A Comprehensive Analysis of Flooding Mechanisms Along Crasna River by Cristina RIZEA, Daniel SABĂU, Silvia VOICU, Marinela TEODORESCU (DAN), Andrei COZMA, Gheorghe ȘERBAN

“…Romania did remarkable steps in developing high quality flood hazard and risk maps as core action for an integrated flood risk management. In the second cycle of Floods Directive 2007/60/EC implementation, Romania developed and reported to European Commission (EC) the hazard and risk maps for 526 APSFRs (Areas with Potential Significant Flood Risk). …”

Flooding in the Digital Twin Earth: The Case Study of the Enza River Levee Breach in December 2017 by Angelica Tarpanelli, Bianca Bonaccorsi, Marco Sinagra, Alessio Domeneghetti, Luca Brocca, Silvia Barbetta

“…The accurate delineation of flood hazard maps is a key element of flood risk management policy. Flood inundation models are fundamental for reproducing the boundaries of flood-prone areas, but their calibration is limited to the information available on the areas affected by inundation during observed flood events (typically fragmentary photo, video or partial surveys). …”

Spatial Analysis of Dry Valley Floods in Salah Al-Din Governorate and Ramadan Valley by Ali Mukhlif Sabea, Numman Hussain Atea, Sedeak Mustafa Jasim, Hussain Abid Ismaiel

“…The proposed method estimates the localization of sites prone to flood, and it may be used for flood hazard assessment mapping and for flood risk management. It was therefore, suggested that government agencies and policy makers should adopt this powerful technique for reliable and well synthesized information which is a vital component of flood risk assessment and planning.…”

Assessment of the Relationship between Land Use and Flood Risk Based on a Coupled Hydrological–Hydraulic Model: A Case Study of Zhaojue River Basin in Southwestern China by Chaowei Xu, Hao Fu, Jiashuai Yang, Lingyue Wang

“…In this study, a coupled hydrologic–hydraulic model was developed to analyze the relationship between flood ecological risk and land use in order to provide new insights into current flood risk management practices. Ten real flood events (of different magnitudes) in the Zhaojue river basin (650 km²) were chosen to evaluate the credibility and performance of the coupled model’s application. …”

Event-based Bayesian causal modelling for flood hydrograph prediction, Upper Andarax intermittent stream, Spain by Mohamed Hamitouche, Jose-Luis Molina

“…This study could be a decision-making tool for flood risk management in the Andarax River basin. New hydrological insights for the region: Results suggest a complex and dynamic non-linear rainfall-runoff relationship in the Upper Andarax watershed, whereas, there is a strong similarity in the temporal distributions of flow discharges, being, in general, symmetric, as a result of symmetric hyetographs. …”
