摘要

Flood risk assessment evaluates the potential adverse impacts that floods have on humans and the environment. The risk assessment process in general provides a way to develop, organize and present scientific information so that it is relevant to environmental decisions in the watershed. The paper deals with preliminary flood risk assessment in watershed. Preliminary flood risk assessment includes a description of the floods which have occurred in the past and which had significant adverse impacts on human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity and for which the likelihood of similar future events is still relevant, including their flood extent.
