The slope-area method is a commonly used and widely accepted technique for estimating peak flood flows in rivers where direct discharge measurements could not be obtained during the flood. The method makes multiple assumptions to simplify calculations which include assuming uniform flow conditions between surveyed cross sections, and that losses of energy in the reach occur only due to bank friction. Even though flows in nature do not always exhibit these simplified conditions, this method has been proven to provide adequate results when compared to direct measurements and thus, has become t

The mapping of flood hazard can be time and resource consuming, but it is essential for assessing flood risk and for designing strategies to avoid consequences and recover faster in the event of flooding.

Although such approach is considered standard, it is not always feasible. For example, it is challenging to simulate floods over large areas, produce a number of scenarios, represent flood mechanisms in a detailed way, and make use of al

Damage assessment and risk analysis are important issues for flood damage mitigation other than hydrological and hydraulic studies. This thesis focuses on the regional damage assessment in residential area. The damages were estimated in three aspects: the common indoor assets, public utilities, and mobiles. A Depth-Damage Curve, based on the social-econmic data such as building characteristics, common indoor decorations, and common owned appliances, wa

The special landform of a basin and fighting for land with water increases potential risk. The uncertain effects of climate change are also disadvantageous to the basin’s future development, and will directly or indirectly impact the functionality and safety of flood prevention facilities.

Flood map making is one of non-structural strategy in prevention/mitigation phase to reduce flood risk. In this study, we took flood prone area as our case study. We analyzed and compared the correlation between flood map and flood data history. However, flood factor has important role in flood process, both natural and human factors. We analyzed a case study based on the geographical condition: terrain and surf

碩士<br>高苑科技大學<br>土木工程研究所<br>97<br>Early flood control management is mainly about engineering methods, including the construction of protecting embankments, river dredging, dike relocation and increasing the dike height. Due to the large amount of surface runoff into the river, the midstream and downstream often become more intense and often cause floods. The traditional flood control management often uses rapid drainage by the upstream and slow flow by the downstream; this will lead to the heavy load on downstream and causes flooding. Integrated flood management’s main consideration is to sprea

Recently, the center of subsidence cone has gradually migrated inland. Under the global climate change, the subsidence not only increases the vulnerability of disaster, but also threatens more area with flood disasters. For allocating reasonable resources on improvement work, reducing the vulnerability, and decreasing flood disaster losses, therefore investigating the level of vulnerability in disaster areas is necessary.

Since a large number of discharge records are needed in current frequency analysis methods, the methods are impracticable for watershed lacking of discharge records. For this reason, the objective of this study is to provide a suitable frequency analysis method for discharge in watershed lacking of enough hydrological records and to estimate the design discharge for agricultural water resources engineeri

The first examined Can Tho City as a case study to identify processes as flood driving forces associated with natural and anthropogenic characteristics. The next phase was conducted by the expert in-depth interview to evaluate the responses to flood-related issues in chosen cities (Can Tho and Ho Chi Minh Cities) and to reveal current approaches of the management patte

Stream surge and over-flooding cause the heavy loss about property and life of residents. In conclusion of these flooding disaster reasons, it can be understood that the easiest flooding disaster reason is the problem of plan, design, control, and management.
