An analysis of global statistics shows a substantial increase in flood damage over the past
few decades. Moreover, it is expected that flood risk will continue to rise due to the combined …

The flood risk is a function of the flood hazard, the exposed values, and their vulnerability. In
addition to extreme hydrological events, different anthropogenic activities such as extensive …

A general problem is that the energy harvesting of low-velocity rivers closely related to
human life is difficult. Herein, a soft-bionic-fin structure triboelectric–electromagnetic …

Currently, monitoring the ecological conditions of watercourses is overly unitary and
inefficient and is burdened by high costs. A cost-effective, efficient, self-powered sensor for …

Dams as well as protective dikes and levees are critical infrastructures whose associated
risk must be properly managed in a continuous and updated process. Usually, dam safety …

Low-velocity water flow exists generally in open channel environments, and harvesting
energy from these water flows remains a challenge. Herein, a savonius flap** wing …

Participatory methods to support successful policy decisions regarding the complex and
dynamic interactions of social, ecological, and physical processes involved in flooding must …

Low impact development (LID) is an important control measure against extreme rainfall
events and is widely applied to relieve urban flood disasters. To investigate the effects of LID …

Abstract The EU Flood Directive 2007/60 requires the assessment and delineation of flood
risk maps. The latter should provide the required knowledge for the development of flood …

A plethora of methods exist to aid decision-making in mitigating disaster risk, many of which
fall into the categories of risk, vulnerability and/or resilience assessment methods. The …
