Abstract:

This thesis explores the reconciliation of economic development and flood risk mitigation on the Humber Estuary, England. As sea level-rise is increasing due to suspected anthropogenic climate change, the Environment Agency has taken a lead role in mitigating flood risk on the Humber estuary through the process of governance. However, in trying to balance sustainable economic development with flood risk mitigation, the Environment Agency has experienced considerable difficulty in engaging local and regional businesses within the governance process. Analysis has found that although the overall

The importance of hydraulic structures has become an essential mitigating mean for floodsthat occur more often due to climate change. Thus, the importance and safety of flooddischarge tunnels has promoted further studies and experiments on the topic to mitigatedamages, such as cavitation that arise because of high speed flows.After an experimental study on a physical model was carried out on the flood discharge tunnelin Zipingpu Water Conservancy project, a CFD model was designed and simulated in thecommercial software ANSYS Fluent.

<p>The old water system in Sala, formerly belonging to thesilver mine, is analysed with regard to dam safety focusing onthe hydrological aspects. The hydrological safety of the riskclass I dams in the area, built in the 16th century, is notconsidered adequate according to the Swedish guidelines fordesign flood determination. A review is made of internationalprinciples for design flood determination. The overview showsthat there is no common principle used internationally whendealing with design flood for dams.

Abstract:

Heavy precipitation events are expected to increase in the future, due to climate change. This predicted change will increase the risk of flooding, especially in urban areas. To mitigate these challenges and support a sustainable urban development, Nature-based solutions (NBS) can be used as a flood risk reduction measure. The NBS wetlands and constructed wetlands, composed of ponds, canals and ditches, are commonly used solutions which are multifunctional and primarily provides flood regulatory services, water quality improvements and increased biodiversity. To reach the full potential of NBS

Abstract:

This Honours Industry Thesis identifies short- and long-term options on how to improve and restore the flow of Lake Carey, a salt lake in Western Australia, post-causeway construction. With major flood events occurring every 5-10 years and exploration Causeway Bravo built post the 2017 floods, options to mitigate the risk in case of flood events and to look at preventative management opportunities for construction of future causeways is critical. Obstruction of water flow, reduction in biodiversity and change in water quality are some of the major implications seen with causeways. This thes

Abstract:

This research explores perceptions of community flood resilience among adults from isolated settlements in Bangladesh’s Haor region from a perspective of change in the surrounding environment, with structural mitigation measures as outcomes of development planning activities. This research explains perceived resilience as the freedom of choice. This is achieved through eliminating all factors of vulnerability. Through discovering the reason for communities' dependency on external supports, this research proves the necessity of practicing community participation at a meaningful level and priori

Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationships between rising water levels, vulnerable land, and sedimentation within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Climate induced sea level rise threatens low lying coastal land, especially in regions of continuing subsidence such as the Chesapeake Bay. Alterations to shorelines over time have impacted the ability of coastal landscapes to capture and build up sediment, exposing them to continual erosion. The low lying neighborhood of Belle View along the Potomac River is the focus of the investigation due to its vulnerability to flooding and its cultural and ecologica

The issue of how to appropriately employ non-structural measures for natural hazard reduction is an essential task for the policy evaluation. Land-use planning or zoning framework is often considered as a useful tool in reducing flood risk. Unfortunately, for lack of a well established mechanism to complement or compensating the regulatory taking behaviour, it is difficult for government complete using land-use regulation as an instrument in natura

Abstract:

Flooding poses one of the greatest natural hazard dangers to Canadians. As human populations increase and concentrate in areas vulnerable to floods, and uncertainty about future flood risk increases with the possibility of a changing climate, major urban communities, coastal settlements and communities located within floodplains are faced with an even greater risk of floods in the coming years. Canada's policies and practices towards flood control are best described as ad hoc, and have developed over the years in response to experiences with floods. No national scale flood damage reducti

Abstract:

The role of local level governance and participation in managing climate disasters is gaining precedence in global and local (South African), discourse. In recent years, floods have caused major disasters in urban centres around the world. A lack of disaster preparedness in developing countries has resulted in much damage in urban environments. Such damage will have long-term repercussions for governance, communities and the natural environment. Heavy rainfall events are projected to become more intense and frequent due to climate change, and many recently affected areas may consequently face

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>The impact of disasters on hard-won social, environmental and economic developmental strides globally cannot be overemphasised. The magnitude and frequency of hazards (i.e. flooding, earthquakes, cyclones, typhoons etc.) poses great challenges for vulnerable populations as well as for those whose statutory responsibilities are to mitigate disaster risks within society. In view of the enormous uncertainties and complexities associated with disasters, several approaches to deal with disaster risks have emerged. These approaches have been charact
