“…Hydrologic and hydraulic simulation software with GIS is often used to model characteristics of hypothetical or historical floods (Saini et al 2016;Scorzini et al 2018;Mahmood et al 2019). Among the studied articles, the most often used simulation software was HEC-RAS with HEC-GeoRAS from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) (Tarigan et al 2017;Mihu-Pintilie et al 2019;Zúñiga and Novelo-Casanova 2019). The simulation software packages MIKE FLOOD and MIKE 11 by the Danish Institute for Water and Environment (DHI), SWAT by the USDA Agriculture Research Service, and the Flo-2D model by Flow-2D Software Inc. were also applied in several studies (Cham and Mitani 2015;Komolafe et al 2018b;Qiao et al 2018Qiao et al , 2019.…”

“…A prominent validation approach was comparing modeled floods with historical flood events in terms of flood extent and flood depth (Yu et al 2013;Mahmood et al 2019). Based on the comparison between modeled floods and historical flood events, flood models can be calibrated and refined (Karamouz et al 2015;Zúñiga and Novelo-Casanova 2019). In cases where flood extent and flood depths of historical floods were not fully available, some flood models were validated against historical watermarks and flood information in news reports.…”

Fluvial floods can cause significant damages and are expected to increase in magnitude and frequency throughout the twenty-first century due to global warming. Alongside hazard characteristics, damage potentials depend on exposure and vulnerability, which are changing in the wake of socio-economic developments. In the context of continuously evolving damage-causing factors, assessments of future changes in flood damage potentials are increasingly asked for by decision-makers in flood risk management. This study addresses this need by (a) providing a systematic review of contemporary assessment approaches to quantitatively compare direct economic losses from fluvial flooding under current and future conditions and (b) combining the reviewed approaches to an applicable methodology which is used in a case study to quantify changing flood damage potentials in the Neckar River basin in southern Germany. Therefore, a scoping study of contemporary flood damage assessment approaches supported by geographic information systems (GIS) is performed. The subsequent case study of the Neckar River prognoses a significant increase in average annual flood damages in the study area throughout the twenty-first century. The case study produces valid results with regards to current precipitation data, whereas the absence of verification data makes the validation of projected scenarios more difficult. To account for uncertainties surrounding these future projections, a nascent qualitative confidence estimation is introduced to reflect on the strength of knowledge underlying the used flood damage assessment methodology.
