Abstract:

Flood events have caused detrimental impacts to humans' lives and anthropogenic climate change is anticipated to exacerbate the impact. It has been recognized that a long-term planning through risk-based optimization of flood defence will lead to a cost-effective solution for managing flood risk, but the prevailing assumption of stationarity may lead to an erroneous solution. In attempt to investigate the potential impact of the uncertain underlying statistical characteristics of extreme flow series to flood protection decisions, this research explores risk-based flood protection decisions in

Abstract:

Wastewater treatment facilities, due to design practices and physical location, may be highly vulnerable to flooding. The implementation of flood proofing and flood damage reduction measures can reduce the economic losses and environmental impacts of a flood. Effective training and guidance is currently unavailable from the Virginia regulatory agencies. The Commonwealth of Virginia Sewerage Regulations contain the fundamental principle of avoiding construction within the 100-year flood plain. However, information is not included to discuss flood damage reduction measures or flood protective

This thesis examines the role of the public in Flood Risk Management (FRM) service provision at a time when the perceptions of the distribution of benefits provided by FRM interventions are in flux, and the role the public should play in FRM highly contested among stakeholders.

Abstract:

<p>Current U.S. Army Corps of Engineers water resources planning guidance directs the planners to consider all design alternatives with economic efficiency as the primary criterion. Recent criticism of the flood loss reduction planning is directed at the Corps. One criticism is that the traditional design practices of the Corps address only large flood events. The emphasis on large flood events precludes the use of nonstructural methods, whose economically feasible range is at smaller scales. However, the advantage of having nonstructural measures available to federal water resources planners

Abstract:

Flood events have become more frequent in Europe, and the adaptation to the increasing flood risks is needed. The Flood Directive set up a series of measures to increase European resilience, establishing Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs) at the level of the river basin district as one relevant action. In order to efficiently fulfil this objective, the involvement of stakeholders as well as the analysis of their roles, responsibilities, and demands has been considered to be crucial to develop FRMPs. As a result, the hypothesis tested in this paper is that a consensus solution for the 2021 upd

Abstract:

Flash flood is among the most hazardous natural disasters, and it can cause severe damages to the environment and human life. Flash floods are mainly caused by intense rainfall and due to their rapid onset (within six hours of rainfall), very limited opportunity can be left for effective response. Understanding the socio-economic characteristics involving natural hazards potential, vulnerability, and resilience is necessary to address the damages to economy and casualties from extreme natural hazards. The vulnerability to flash floods is dependent on both biophysical and socio-economic factors

These combined flooding episodes had a substantial impact on local residents and the Namibian economy, with estimated losses of approximately US$136.4 million (NAD1364 million) in direct damage and US$78.2 million (NAD780 million) in indire

Faced with this problem, but it works only with a certain degree of protection methods can not provide full exemption consider disasters, so the extent of the disaster scale engineering protection than is required in non-engineering protection measures, it is related to the need to strengthen the non-structural measures.

High capacity energy-consuming systems including centralized apartments, commercial office buildings, and general equipment in factories required higher standards regarding the quality and the stability of the power supply system. Generally, users valued the electricity quality more than the used efficiency of electricity. Moreover, due to the topography, the secondary substations locate

When the rain of typhoon is coming due to Taipei basin surrounded by mountains, outlet flowing will be discharged from Guandu district. Based on the flood prevention is public consensus, this paper argues that sophisticated flood prevention and mitigation in Guandu district should consider together. Explore sophisticated flood control strategy could do to mitigate the disaster of reducing loss for reference. The research method used the analytic hierarchy process, respondents

Floods overflow bridges and even damage them, risking the passing vehicles. The aim of this study is to notify the low-lying residents and the relevant units by means of siren, light, and message before the occurrence of the disaster. Thus, people can operate in advance and stop vehicles in time from going on bridges or down to underpasses to avoid property loss and to reduce mental pressure. The system uses th

Because of the high density of population and intensive land use, these inundation disasters usually cause a lot of damages. Risk management for natural hazard is becoming an important issue. The objectives of this study are to establish a framework of flood risk assessment and to design prevention maps taking New Taipei City as an example.

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立臺灣海洋大學<br>商船學系所<br>99<br>One of the most effective strategies in engineering to prevent flooding is to create a flood control system. The flood control system is consists of installing a drainage system at the end of pumping stations to achieve the purpose to flood control and drainage. However, once the pumping station is constructed, the chances of modification are limited; therefore the initial design is very important. It must be able to allocate all the resources available for the site, for example, they need to calculate and distribute different water pumps, according to their vo
