Flood Modeling, Prediction and Mitigation [electronic resource] /
Şen, Zekâi.author.
This book draws on the author's professional experience and expertise in humid and arid regions to familiarize readers with the basic scientific philosophy and methods regarding floods and their impacts on human life and property. The basis of each model, algorithm and calculation methodology is presented, together with logical and analytical strategies. Global warming and climate change trends are addressed, while flood risk assessments, vulnerability, preventive and mitigation procedures are explained systematically, helping readers apply them in a rational and effective manner. Lastly, real-world project applications are highlighted in each section, ensuring readers grasp not only the theoretical aspects but also their concrete implementation. .
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.
Introduction -- Rainfall and floods -- Floods and drainage basin features -- Hydrograph and unit hydrograph analysis -- Rational flood methodologies -- Probability and statistical methods -- Flood design discharge and its significance -- Climate change impact on floods -- Flood safety and hazard. .
