Abstract

Analysis combining high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations and demographic projections across the contiguous USA suggests that residents near small rivers face a disproportionately higher flood risk by 2050 than those near larger ones. This enhanced flood risk is mainly due to low defence levels and increases in projected flood magnitude under climate change.

美国小河附近的居民未来可能面临不成比例的高洪水风险

结合高分辨率流体动力学模拟和美国连续地区人口预测的分析表明，到2050年，小河附近的居民面临的洪水风险比大河附近的居民高得多。这种洪水风险的增加主要是由于防御水平较低和气候变化下预计洪水强度的增加。
