“…However, that flood resilience is a useful concept and in particular that urban areas need to be more flood resilient seems to be a general consensus across disciplines (Berke & Campanella, 2006;British Environment Agency, 2012;Clark, 1998;Colucci, 2012;de Bruijn, 2005;Hartmann, Jílková, & Schanze, 2018;Jüpner et al, 2018;Klijn & Koppenjan, 2012;Schanze, 2017;Vis, Klijn, de Bruijn, & van Buuren, 2003). In this respect, this special issue uses resilience as a boundary concept to facilitate an interdisciplinary discussion on implementing flood resilience.…”

“…They focus on low income countriesin their case, Bangladeshand show the paradoxical effects of levees. This also provides valuable lessons for high-income countries, where the new construction of levees or changes to them are discussed in the context of the resilience debate and nature-based solutions (Hartmann et al, 2018). Raška et al then discuss flood risk management in an urban shrinkage context and deliberate how to address resilience as a spatial concept that requires integrated approaches, that is integration of flood risk management with other spatial policies, especially land-use planning.…”

“…Additionally, the seasonality of floods is changing throughout the globe [9]. Therefore, different structural and non-structural measures will inevitably need to be implemented to cope with the increasing flood risk [10][11][12]. Flood forecasting can be one of the solutions to warn people living in flood hazard areas [13][14][15] in the case that prevention measures are not sufficient or cannot be implemented.…”

Exploring Options for Flood Risk Management with Special Focus on Retention Reservoirs

et al. 2021

Floods are among the most frequent and deadliest natural disasters, and the magnitude and frequency of floods is expected to increase. Therefore, the effects of different flood risk management options need to be evaluated. In this study, afforestation, permeable concrete implementation, and the use of dry and wet retention reservoirs were tested as possible options for urban flood risk reduction in a case study involving the Glinščica river catchment (Slovenia). Additionally, the effect of dry and wet reservoirs was investigated at a larger (catchment) scale. Results showed that in the case of afforestation and permeable concrete, large areas are required to achieve notable peak discharge reduction (from a catchment scale point of view). The costs related to the implementation of such measures could be relatively high, and may become even higher than the potential benefits related to the multifunctionality and multi-purpose opportunities of such measures. On the other hand, dry and wet retention reservoirs could provide more significant peak discharge reductions; if appropriate locations are available, such reservoirs could be implemented at acceptable costs for decision makers. However, the results of this study show that reservoir effects quickly reduce with scale. This means that while these measures can have significant local effects, they may have only a minor impact at larger scales. We found that this was also the case for the afforestation and permeable concrete.

“…However, the flood risk is perceived to be sufficiently high that the potential economic gains from increased tourism may not be fully realised if appropriate (e.g., catchment specific) flood reduction strategies are not implemented and seen to be effective. Such strategies may include so‐called grey infrastructure (i.e., traditionally engineered structures such as dams or bypass channels) or green infrastructure (i.e., “natural” flood risk management) including “natural water retention measures” (NWRMs) (Collentine & Futter, ; Hartmann, Jílková, & Schanze, ). Furthermore, the general context of natural population growth, climate change and—historically at least—significant deforestation, together mean that assessments of potential flood magnitudes and probabilities need to be easily made and updated so as to inform local flood risk management strategies.…”

Assessment of the flood hazard arising from land use change in a forested catchment in northern Iran

The provinces of northern Iran that border the Caspian Sea are forested and may be prone to increased risks of flooding due to deforestation and other land use changes, in addition to climate change effects. This research investigated changes in runoff from a small forested catchment in northern Iran for several land use change scenarios and the effects of higher rainfall and high antecedent soil moisture. Peak discharges and total runoff volumes from the catchment were estimated using the U.S. Soil Conservation Service “Curve Number” (SCS‐CN) method and the SCS dimensionless unit hydrograph. This method was selected for reasons of data availability and operational simplicity for flood managers. A geographical information system (GIS) was used to manipulate spatial data for use in the catchment runoff modelling. The results show that runoff is predicted to increase as a result of deforestation, which is dependent on the proportion of the catchment area affected. However, climate change presents a significant flood hazard even in the absence of deforestation. Other land use changes may reduce the peak discharges of all return period floods. Therefore a future ban on timber extraction, combined with agricultural utilisation of rangeland, could prove effective as “nature‐based” flood reduction measures throughout northern Iran.
