“…For the sole reservoir, both the initial water head and flood discharge capacities would directly affect the capacity of flood peak reduction [21]. The lower the initial water head, the stronger the capacity of flood peak reduction is [22].…”

Due to the high frequency and great damage of flood disasters, it is important to reduce the flood peak when it goes through the reservoir. A hydraulic model which integrates the implicit equation of water balance, water head-discharge carves, and water head-storage carves together, is proposed to simulate the flood peak reduction of a small reservoir. The proposed method was employed to simulate the flood peak reduction in the Brown Bridge Reservoir, Michigan, US. The results show that the proposed method can simulate the flood peak reduction in a small reservoir, and the Brown Bridge Dam can reduce the flood peak when hundred-year floods go through. When all gates or spillways are fully opened, the initial water head of the reservoir significantly influences the capacity of flood peak reduction. When the initial water head of the Brown Bridge Reservoir is 240.18 and 241.40 m, the hundred-year flood peak would be reduced to 23.11 m 3 /s and 25.85 m 3 /s, respectively. By optimizing the gates or spillways, the hundred-year flood peak could be reduced. When the initial water head of the reservoir is 241.40 and 240.18 m, the hundred-year flood peak would be reduced to 17.98 and 16.54 m 3 /s, respectively.

“…Worse still, the cost of maintaining flood protection works may exceed the initial construction cost ( Zevenbergen et al., 2020 ). In addition, the standards for flood control projects cannot be raised without considering factors such as cost effectiveness ( Abdi-Dehkordi et al., 2021 ). Such realizations led to the introduction of the new term “flood management”: living with flooding, minimizing its losses and even deriving benefits from it where possible.…”

“…Most flood resilience management strategies use a resilience framework to provide management strategies ( Abdi-Dehkordi et al., 2021 ; Kim et al., 2017 ; Rezende et al., 2019 ). The community resilience framework is based on four main components (economic activities, ecosystem services, infrastructure and buildings, and community action) and their sub-categories, to provide detailed resiliency solutions ( https://resilientvirginia.org/ ).…”

“…Within an integrated flood-protection framework, managing the flood risk and mitigating the adverse consequences related to floods, requires the co-implementation of both structural and non-structural measures [18,19]. With respect to the non-structural approaches, which are also highly promoted by the current legislation framework (e.g., the Floods Directive 2007/60/EC), real-time flood forecasting and early-warning systems are considered among the most effective measures to minimize casualties and reduce damages [20].…”

This is typically achieved through the timely dissemination of flood-risk-related information, often in the form of flood-risk and hazard maps or estimated flood travel times, which facilitate the early evacuation of cities and villages [18,21].…”

Storm Daniel initiated on 3 September 2023, over the Northeastern Aegean Sea, causing extreme rainfall levels for the following four days, reaching an average of about 360 mm over the Peneus basin, in Thessaly, Central Greece. This event led to extensive floods, with 17 human lives lost and devastating environmental and economic impacts. The automatic water-monitoring network of the HIMIOFoTS National Research Infrastructure captured the evolution of the phenomenon and the relevant hydrometeorological (rainfall, water stage, and discharge) measurements were used to analyse the event’s characteristics. The results indicate that the average rainfall’s return period was up to 150 years, the peak flow close to the river mouth reached approximately 1950 m3/s, and the outflow volume of water to the sea was 1670 hm3. The analysis of the observed hydrographs across Peneus also provided useful lessons from the flood-engineering perspective regarding key modelling assumptions and the role of upstream retentions. Therefore, extending and supporting the operation of the HIMIOFoTS infrastructure is crucial to assist responsible authorities and local communities in reducing potential damages and increasing the socioeconomic resilience to natural disasters, as well as to improve the existing knowledge with respect to extreme flood-simulation approaches.
