Causes, impacts and patterns of disastrous river floods
Across case studies where two similar floods occurred in the same region, with the second flood causing substantially lower damage 15, the damage reduction is mainly attributed to substantial ...
Understanding urban flood vulnerability and resilience: a case study of
Malaysia is frequently affected by the annual flooding event caused by the seasonal monsoon which accounts for significant losses. Flood risk, exposure and damage potential are increasing, causing the level of poverty and vulnerability to rise. The annual occurrence of the flood hazard has forced residents to prepare beforehand to help them spring back to their daily life faster. This study ...
"The 20 July 2021 Major Flood Event" in Greater Zhengzhou, China: A
A case study based on a historical flood should help Zhengzhou and other similar cities in their comprehensive GI planning to reduce the severity of future flooding events. The study aimed to identify priority areas for green infrastructure planning to optimize both the structure and the function of green infrastructure along the 137 km stretch ...
The 2015 Chennai Flood: A Case for Developing City Resilience
The lessons from this case study and others like it can help urban centers elsewhere in Asia to plan for similar eventualities. Challenges Faced During and Following the Event. Flooding often handicaps the affected community by adversely affecting its educational system, food availability, mobility and access to energy on a daily basis.
Role of dams in reducing global flood exposure under climate ...
Here, we quantify the role of dams in flood mitigation, previously unaccounted for in global flood studies, by simulating the floodplain dynamics and flow regulation by dams. We show that ...
Case Studies
These case studies were essential in formulating the Integrated Flood Management concepts, as they helped to: Identify the institutional changes required to achieve IFM. The case studies are presented here for "historical purposes": having been compiled almost 20 years ago, they are reflecting national situations that might since have ...
Flooding trends and their impacts on coastal communities of Western
The Western Cape Province case study reveals that flood risks in urban areas are on the increase. Such risks primarily affect the poor. Extreme weather events such as floods often destroys homes and livelihoods. Evidence from the study reveals that flooding has in the past destroyed several shacks and homes.

The devastation floods can cause. About 10,000 people died in a single flood in the Netherlands in 1421. Water from the North Sea flooded inland and swept through 72 villages, leaving a trail of destruction. Further severe floods struck the region in 1570, 1825, 1894, 1916 and 1953. All of them occurred despite the area having extensive flood ...

Protecting people from a changing climate
Our findings suggest the following conclusions: Under a scenario with 1.5°C of warming above preindustrial levels by 2030, almost half of the world's population could be exposed to a climate hazard related to heat stress, drought, flood, or water stress in the next decade, up from 43 percent today 3 Climate science makes extensive use of scenarios; we have chosen Representative ...
Flood vulnerability assessment in rural and urban informal settlements
Flood vulnerability assessment (FVA) informs the disaster risk reduction and preparedness process in both rural and urban areas. However, many flood-vulnerable regions like Malawi still lack FVA supporting frameworks in all phases (pre-trans-post disaster). Partly, this is attributed to lack of the evidence-based studies to inform the processes.
