The role of hydro-technical works in diminishing flooded areas. Case study: the June 1985 flood on the Miletin River
(Corresponding) Hutanu E., Urzica A., Paveluc L., Stoleriu C., Grozavu A.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
Hydro-technical constructions are very important in diminishing flooded areas and associated damage in the event of a flood. The case study for the Miletin River in the Moldavian Plateau (Eastern Romania) focusses on the historical floods of June 1985. The floods recorded at the Miletin River...Read more

Dam break analysis using Hec-Ras techniques. Case study: Cal Alb dam (NE Romania)
Urzica A., (Corresponding) Hutanu E., Muhu-Pintilie A., Stoleriu C.
Topic:
Hydrology and water resources
Along with the understanding of the importance of a water resource in the vicinity of a human settlement, human societies have begun to build weirs, dams or hydraulic structures to use more efficiently the natural resource. One of the most important works that can be done in the course of a river...Read more
Improved LC/LU maps and flood models through crowdsourced information
(Corresponding) Tsiakos V., (Corresponding) Krommyda M., Tsertou A., Amditis A., Jonoski A., Popescu I., Assumpção T., Kopsinis Y.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
Flood risk prediction has been traditionally based on models that are developed from time-series of data collected over long periods of time from expensive and hard to maintain in situ sensors available only in specific areas.
Scent is a EU project which provides an integrated toolbox of smart...Read more
The Intensity – duration (I-D) curves towards to a spatially distributed flood early warning tool (F-EWT)
(Corresponding) Feloni E., Baltas E.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
Attica region suffers from rainfall events of high intensity, inducing flash-floods and significant damages in the urbanized areas. This analysis concerns the determination of the maximum intensity-duration thresholds regarding flooding (F) or non-flooding (NF) regime, using the available...Read more

An Agent Based Modelling tool exploring decision-making processes for flood risk management
(Corresponding) Koutiva I., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
Cities at risk of extreme hydro-meteorological events need to be prepared to decrease the extent of the impacts. However, the majority usually reacts to the catastrophe, having failed to proactively prepare against extremes. This can be a result of both absent structural protection measures and...Read more

Hydrological and hydraulic modelling for a severe flood event in Sperchios River Basin
(Corresponding) Bournas A., Feloni E., Bertsiou M., Baltas E.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
A combined hydrological and hydraulic analysis is presented for an extreme flood event occurred on February 6, 2012 in Sperchios River Basin, located in Central Greece. This event caused the river’s overflow and, consequently, several damages to infrastructure and agricultural land. Sperchios River...Read more
Revıew of Flood Dısaster Risk Management ın sıx West Afrıcan Megacıtıes
(Corresponding) Olanrewaju C., Reddy M.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
In developing countries, the factors affecting vulnerability and exposure to floods are growing rapidly as urbanization puts more people and assets at risk. Particularly susceptible, is the fast growing informal settlements in central cities and peri-urban locations. Six noteworthy West African...Read more

Effect of the dependence structure and time irreversibility of streamflow in flood inundation mapping with focus on the long-term persistence behaviour
(Corresponding) Dimitriadis P., Iliopoulou T., Papanicolaou P., Koutsoyiannis D.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
The marginal structure of streamflow, with focus on the right tail behaviour, is considered as the main factor in flood risk assessment, while little is known on the effect of the temporal dependence structure and irreversibility of streamflow. Interestingly, the second-order dependence behaviour...Read more
Uncertainty aspects of 2D flood modelling in a benchmark case study
(Corresponding) Bellos V., Tsihrintzis V.
Topic:
Prediction in ungauged basins and prediction under uncertainty
In this study, we investigate the contribution of several uncertainty drivers towards the total uncertainty of a 2D flood model, in a benchmark case study under steady flow conditions. The simulator used for the analysis is the in-house FLOW-R2D software, whilst the benchmark case study consists of...Read more
Simulation of an urban flash flood: the 2017 flood event in Mandra, Attica
Handrinos S., (Corresponding) Bellos V., Sibetheros I.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
This study deals with the 2D flood simulation of an urban flash flood event that took place on November 15, 2017 in Mandra, Attica. The well-known hydrodynamic software HEC-RAS was used for the flood simulation. The model input was an ensemble of 100 hydrographs, derived from the simulation of the...Read more
