Wetlands are multifunctional systems performing as nature-based solutions (NBS) for water
management. This paper provides an overview of natural and constructed wetlands and …

Statistical distributions of flood peak discharge often show heavy tail behavior, that is,
extreme floods are more likely to occur than would be predicted by commonly used …

Despite the recent prevalence of severe drought, California faces a broadly
underappreciated risk of severe floods. Here, we investigate the physical characteristics of …

Estimating river flood risks under climate change is challenging, largely due to the
interacting and combined influences of various flood-generating drivers. However, a more …

Economic inequality is rising within many countries globally, and this can significantly
influence the social vulnerability to natural hazards. We analysed income inequality and …

Anomalies in the frequency of river floods, ie, flood-rich or-poor periods, cause biases in
flood risk estimates and thus make climate adaptation measures less efficient. While …

Vulnerable communities are disproportionately placed in low-lying, flood-prone
neighborhoods, with deficient infrastructure and limited access to shelter. Here we present a …

Climate change may systematically impact hydrometeorological processes and their
interactions, resulting in changes in flooding mechanisms. Identifying such changes is …

Levees constrain roaring floodwater but are blamed for reducing people's perception of
flood risks and promoting floodplain human settlements unprepared for high-consequence …

Flood damages are projected to increase with climate change due to intensification of
extreme rainfalls, with water scarcity also projected to increase due to longer periods of …
