CONCLUSIONS OF THE ADVANCED RESEARCH WORKSHOP ON FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT

摘要

Presentations showed various approaches to flood modelling. Flood hazard are assessed from observed data and modelling. Surrogate observations should be approached with caution. The importance of flood hazard determination is increasing, because of changing climate, conflicting demands of water management, and continuing expansion of urban areas (human settlements). Further advances in the modelling of flood protection are recommended and should consider water storage in headwaters. Moreover, the role of groundwater should be further examined.
