Nature-based solutions (NbS) draw researchers’ attention as they can offer numerous co-benefits to the society and environment, opposed traditional grey infrastructure, while having a potential same level of protection against water-related hazards, such floods. Therefore, NbS are deemed viable option climate change adaptation. However, proof their effectiveness in mitigating especially at large-scale (i.e., catchment level), still lacking. Ex-ante assessments, which needed for...
To better understand the impacts of flooding such that authorities can plan for adapting measures to cope with future scenarios, we have developed a modified Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework allow policy makers evaluate strategies improving flood resilience in cities. We showed this proved an effective approach assessing and urban resilience, albeit some limitations. This has difficulties capturing all important relationships cities, especially regards feedbacks....
The impacts of climate change are becoming more widespread across the world, with hydro-meteorological extreme events on rise, causing severe threats to nature and communities. Increasing trends in frequency intensity floods landslides have been projected by models. This necessitates development effective measures such as nature-based solutions (NBS) which can complement grey infrastructures. Recent studies identified knowledge gaps limitations existing research tools that aid spatial...
Abstract. Flood adaptation measures implemented at the household level play an important role in reducing communities' vulnerability. The aim of this study is to enhance current modelling practices human–flood interaction draw new insights for flood risk management (FRM) policy design. paper presents a coupled agent-based and model case Hamburg, Germany, explore how individual behaviour influenced by event scenarios, economic incentives shared strategies. Simulation results show that unique...
Abstract Assessing the performance of future urban drainage management practices requires novel hydrological modelling approaches that can handle a large number spatially distributed measures, such as sustainable systems ( SUDS ). This paper presents implementation approach in semidistributed model enables simulation flow among multiple linked and meso‐scale retention spaces application this to an catchment. The objectives implemented are representation elements with water redistribution...
Based on the recent flood events in Europe and following latest scientific reports climate change IPCC, urban development EEA it becomes evident that areas Northern Middle are becoming increasingly affected by flooding.In changing environment, conventional protection measures not providing sufficient level very cost intensive.New strategies to cope with flooding have be developed implemented adapt communities an adequate way.This paradigm shift from "flood fighting" "living floods" reflects...
Adapting to the impacts of climate change and urban growth in flood management requires approaches, which mitigate risk provide sustainable solutions. A combination local drainage systems water retention public spaces may an appropriate strategy cope with present future pressures on infrastructure. To implement these small-scale hydrological catchment models, novel modelling approaches are required that can handle a large number spatially distributed measures. This paper presents enhancement...
North Sea Region countries depend heavily on flood protection infrastructure, such as dikes, dams, sluices and gates. Knowledge where, when how much to invest ensure functioning is of crucial importance for asset owners operators. This requires management approaches that are adaptable, respond feedback function within various contexts. The FAIR (Flood defense infrastructure Asset & Investment in Renovation, adaptation, optimisation maintenance) project has developed a unique framework...
Abstract This paper proposes a specialised framework that integrates the Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and Commercial Index (CRI) to assess learnings from Horizon 2020 (H2020) project on innovation development via selection enhancement of supporting tools technologies for Nature-based Solutions (NbS) implementation evaluation. We developed applied methodology scout NbS-related innovations are at certain TRL had potential commercial exploitation, then included tailored activities help...
New approaches to managing flood events are increasingly of more relevance due recent widespread floods and the presumed changes in climate. These fall under integrated management (IFM) banner focus not only on prevention, but resilience. This paper introduces an application (FLORETO) for IFM that utilizes data mining approach, a web based three tier system, devoted capacity building stakeholders as micro-scale resilience strategy IFM. The intelligent models, which constitute business logic...

Abstract The escalating impacts of climate change trigger the necessity to deal with hydro-meteorological hazards. Nature-based solutions (NBSs) seem be a suitable response, integrating hydrology, geomorphology, hydraulic, and ecological dynamics. While there are some methods tools for suitability mapping small-scale NBSs, literature concerning spatial allocation large-scale NBSs is still lacking. present work aims develop new toolboxes enhance an existing methodology by developing analysis...
