A New Look at Flood Risk Analysis: Part 1

Accurate evaluation of Flood Risk (FR) is often hampered by insufficient hydro-climatic information. When data are insufficient stochastic-deterministic analysis can be conducted to simulate FR information required in hydraulic design studies. The deterministic approach assumes a priori knowledge of the physical mechanisms operative in the hydrologic system. Stochastic techniques assume that the system behavior can […]

Linking Models to Data

In recent years, real time data has become more readily available from automated earth based sensors (e.g. soil moisture probes, hydrometric and weather stations etc. ) and air based platforms (e.g. drones, radar, satellites etc). Environmental prediction models can be built to take advantage of such information by including data assimilation technology with Bayesian based […]
