Topography plays a major role in determining the accuracy of flood inundation areas.
However, many areas in the United States and around the world do not have access to high …

One of the main purposes of Ecohydraulics is to predict the effects of riparian vegetation on
aquatic ecosystems within real water channels. The interaction between water flow and …

The spatially distributed effects of riparian vegetation on fluvial hydrodynamics during low
flows to large floods are poorly documented. Drawing on a LiDAR-derived, meter-scale …

Modeling and map** of floods using one (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) models has
resulted in significant progress in our understanding of river hydraulics and hydrology. The …

Floods have become increasingly frequent and devastating in recent decades, posing
unignorable risks as highly destructive natural hazards. To effectively manage and mitigate …

Natural disasters like floods are a worldwide phenomenon and a serious threat to mankind.
Flood simulations are applications of disaster control, which are used for the development of …

Hydraulic modelling of natural floodplain vegetation using leaf area index (LAI) has been
applied successfully for non-submerged conditions whereas its suitability for submerged …

Reduction of water levels during river floods is key in preventing damage and loss of life.
Computer models are used to design ways to achieve this and assist in the decision-making …

A need for more accurate flood inundation maps has recently arisen because of the
increasing frequency and extremity of flood events. The accuracy of flood inundation maps is …

Vegetation is a key source of flow resistance in natural channels and floodplains. It is
therefore important to accurately model the flow resistance to inform decision makers and …
