Future Challenges in Flood Defence Design and Management
This special issue belongs to the section “Hydrology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flood is one of the major natural disasters that threatens many human lives and causes significant economic losses globally every year. The design and the performance analysis of a flood defence system are complex decision-making processes involving multiple criteria and uncertainties. This Special Issue of the Water is designed to cover all these themes by including papers presenting innovate results on the following topics:
- Fluvial flooding defence infrastructures
- Urban and pluvial flooding defence infrastructures
- Probabilistic and risk-based design methods for flood defence infrastructures in urban and fluvial areas
- Innovative approaches for reliability analysis
- The impact of uncertainty on design and the management of flood defence infrastructures
- Cost-effective and low-impact solutions for flood risk-reduction in urban and fluvial areas
- Multifunctional flood defences
- Adaptation planning and design of flood-defence infrastructures for future climate
- The integration of the convention flood defences and nature-based approaches
