Excess water in the urban environment leads to flooding, which in turn causes structural damage, risks to personal safety and disruption to city life. Water is also a major contributory factor in disease transmission as well as being the transport medium of many pollutants. Thes…

Die von Naturkatastrophen, insbesondere Hochwasser, verursachten Schäden haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten - zum einen auf Grund der gestiegenen Anzahl entsprechender Ereignisse, zum anderen als Folge einer erhöhten Vulnerabilität - stark zugenommen. Daher ist ein verstärktes Eng…

Flood risk management is presented in this book as a framework for identifying, assessing and prioritizing climate-related risks and developing appropriate adaptation responses. Rigorous assessment is employed to determine the available probabilistic and fuzzy set-based analytic…
