Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Floods, as one of the most common natural disasters around the world, cause serious economic loss and even human fatalities. Moreover, there are many uncertainties associated with flood forecast and management that induce risks in flood control decision making. Therefore, risk identification and management are crucial to mitigate flood hazards and disasters in river basins.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Understanding and methodologies for risk identification with respect to flood, flood forecast, flood control operation, and decision making;
- Flood forecast and operation methodologies dealing with uncertainties and risks;
- Risk analysis methods and models for flood, as well as flood forecast, operation, and decision making;
- Risk management measures and methods to mitigate flood hazards and disasters considering uncertainties.
