A holistic perspective on changing rainfall-driven flood risk is provided for the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Economic losses from floods have greatly increased, principally driven by expanding exposure of assets at risk. It has not been possible to attribute rain-generated peak streamflow trends anthropogenic climate change over past several decades. Projected increases in frequency intensity heavy rainfall, based models, should contribute precipitation-generated local flooding...
Abstract Historical hydrology can be defined as a research field occupying the interface between and history, with objectives: to reconstruct temporal spatial patterns of river flow and, in particular, extreme events (floods, ice phenomena, hydrological droughts) mainly for period prior creation national networks; investigate vulnerability past societies economies events. It is significant tool study flood risk. Basic sources documentary data on floods methods collection analysis are...
Abstract The effects of the topographic data source and resolution on hydraulic modelling floods were analysed. Seven digital terrain models (DTMs) generated from three different altimetric sources: a global positioning system (GPS) survey bathymetry; high‐resolution laser altimetry LiDAR (light detection ranging); vectorial cartography (1:5000). Hydraulic results obtained, using HEC‐RAS one‐dimensional model, for all seven DTMs. importance DTM's accuracy was analysed within contexts: (1)...
Cataclysmic flooding is a geomorphological process of planetary significance. Landforms flood origin resulted from late Pleistocene ice-dammed lake failures in the Altay Mountains south-central Siberia. Peak paleoflows, which exceeded 18 x 10(6) cubic meters per second, are comparable to largest known terrestrial discharges freshwater and show hydrological scaling relation floods generated by catastrophic dam failures. These seem have been Earth's greatest floods, based on variety...
Abstract A study on flood water infiltration and ground recharge of a shallow alluvial aquifer was conducted in the hyperarid section Kuiseb River, Namibia. The site selected to represent typical desert ephemeral river. An instrumental setup allowed, for first time, continuous monitoring during event through channel bed entire vadose zone. system included flexible time domain reflectometry probes that were designed measure temporal variation zone content instruments concurrently levels...

Abstract. Historical records are an important source of information on extreme and rare floods fundamental to establish a reliable flood return frequency. The use long historical for frequency analysis brings in the question stationarity, since climatic land-use conditions can affect relevance past flooding as predictor future flooding. In this paper, detailed 400 yr record from Tagus River Aranjuez (central Spain) was analysed under stationary non-stationary approaches, assess their...
River flooding is among the most destructive of natural hazards globally, causing widespread loss life, damage to infrastructure and economic deprivation. Societies are currently under increasing threat from such floods, predominantly exposure people assets in flood‐prone areas, but also as a result changes flood magnitude, frequency, timing. Accurate hazard risk assessment therefore crucial for sustainable development societies worldwide. With paucity hydrological measurements, evidence...
