Floods are one of the most common and widely distributed natural risks to life and property worldwide. There is a need to identify the risk of flooding in flood prone areas to support decisions for flood management from high level planning proposals to detailed design.
An important part of modern flood risk management is to assess vulnerability to floods. This assessment can be done only... Read more
