Project Description

Work Package 5

Word package number WP5
Type of activity Research and technological development including scientific coordination
Wordk Package title Flood Risk Assessment
Start month 2
End month 26
Lead beneficiary STICHTING DELTARES DLT

 

Objectives

The objective of this Work Package is to develop a toolbox for flood risk assessment that is entirely based on global data and applicable worldwide. This includes rainfall-induced inland flooding and coastal flooding from storm surges or tsunamis. Use is made of existing hydrodynamic and hydrological models without calibrating them to local data. Results will be validated against local risk calculations in three use cases. Even if the aim is to be as independent as possible from local data, such data is available will be used throughout the modeling chain for calibration, validation purposes as well as integrated when possible by means of data assimilation techniques.
