A framework of guiding recommendations for effective
pre-flood and flood warning communications derived
from the URFlood project (2nd ERA-Net CRUE Research
Funding Initiative) from extensive quantitative and ...
This paper summarises the findings of a study to evaluate the use in Ireland of the different flood estimation methodologies that can be applied to urban or urbanising catchments. The study, undertaken as part of the Office ...
In Deliverable 10.1, a optimal methodology for combining precipitation information
from raingauges, radar and NWP models (in this case HIRLAM) was described. It
was based on an artificial neural network combination model, ...
Public perception of flood risk and flood risk information is often overlooked when developing flood risk management plans. As scientists and the public at large perceive risk in very different ways, flood risk management ...
This study explores influences on flood frequency distributions in Irish rivers. Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) type I distributions are recommended in Ireland for estimating flood quantiles. This paper presents the ...
Since 1975, flood estimation in Ireland has generally
followed methods as outlined in the Flood Studies Report
(Natural Environment Research Council, 1975). An update
of this for conditions in the Republic of Ireland ...
Hydrological or hydraulic flood routing methods can be used to predict the floodplain influences on a flood wave as it passes along a river reach. While hydraulic routing uses both the equation of continuity and the equation ...
COST funding allows European scientists establish international links, communicate their work to colleagues and promote international research cooperation. COST731 was established to study the propagation of uncertainty ...
Quantifying uncertainty in flood forecasting is a difficult task, given the multiple and strongly nonlinear
model components involved in such a system. Much effort has been and is being invested in
the quest of dealing ...
Despite significant developments, the simple, lumped, conceptual, rainfall-runoff model is still widely used for flood forecasting. What may not be appreciated is that, while such models can often be calibrated to give ...
