Therefore, the current study was carried out to prioritize sub-watersheds (SWs) based on flood generation using physical (Ph-MA), technical (Te-MA), comanagerial (Com-MA), and conjunct management approaches (Con-MA), as well as determining the quantitative effects of the proposed FCM measures in the Cheshmeh-Kileh Watershed, Iran. To prioritize SWs based on flood generation, geo-environmental criteria were used in Ph-MA, HEC-HMS software was used in Te-MA, and semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders were used in Com-MA. Finally, using the Condorcet algorithm based on game theory, SWs were prioritized in each approach. In the semi-structured interviews, stakeholders were asked to provide suggested measures for FCM. Finally, the effect of each measure on the flood components was quantified. Based on the results, the measure of 10% improvement of forest cover in the entire watershed from the category of Con-MA was selected as the optimal measure. In the return periods of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 years, the effectiveness of this measure was 80.08%, 70.09%, 58.10%, 55.67%, 50.58%, and 43.62%, respectively. The influence of Con-MA based on non-structural and structural measures on reducing the components of peak flow and flood volume was more than other approaches. In general, it can be concluded that non-structural measures have more effect than structural measures in FCM in the study watershed. The methods and approaches used in this study can be directly used by local executive managers, decision-makers, and policymakers of watershed management and flood management activities.</p>","PeriodicalId":49294,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Flood Risk Management","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jfr3.13037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142861966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Socioeconomic and demographic characteristics determine people's capacity to deal with flood events. These differences in social vulnerability to floods need to be considered in flood risk management (FRM) to prevent the most vulnerable groups from being disproportionately impacted. However, due to a diversification of FRM strategies and the involvement of various policy domains, the experts working on FRM are no longer a homogeneous group. Where FRM was previously dominated by engineers, now various experts are involved that have different disciplinary backgrounds, knowledge bases and approaches to FRM. As a result, they also differ in their recognition of social vulnerability to floods. In this paper, we explore the different types of knowledge and expertise in FRM in three countries (England, Flanders and France), focussing on the strategies of flood defence and flood risk prevention. We characterise the epistemic communities supporting the domains and study to what extent experts differ in their recognition of social vulnerability to floods.

Inland flood hazard arises primarily from pluvial and fluvial inundations, typically modeled separately with respect to the pertaining spatial domains of the assessment, namely the urban areas and the riverine floodplains. When modeling is based on the catchment-scale hydrological-hydrodynamic approach, the inundations such as those resulting from pluvial and fluvial processes are usually not discerned, even though disparities in normative flood risk management exist in different countries. This paper establishes a tracer-aided criterion to discretize between pluvial and fluvial flooding at a catchment scale, relying on the advection process of a conservative tracer. Applied to a small urban catchment for multiple probabilistic rainfall scenarios, our physically based methodology shows that the incorporation of a transport equation within a shallow water model can be used to define the inundation sources. We highlight the advantages of the proposed approach compared to commonly employed modeling techniques for mapping fluvial inundations, while emphasizing the significance of mapping and regulating pluvial hazards in urban areas. The study shows the potential role of an abstraction of the tracers' transport toward identifying the hazard sources in a catchment-scale 2D numerical framework.</p>","PeriodicalId":49294,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Flood Risk Management","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jfr3.13039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142861746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adverse impacts of flooding can be mitigated through risk sharing, such as insurance or risk reduction. However, insurance might not be accessible in underdeveloped markets or in instances where floods are too frequent. Similarly, the necessary funding or land for structural measures might not be available. Alternatively, measures could be implemented on private land, either through individual initiatives or as part of a coordinated effort. This approach was explored in the flood-prone regions of Albania and North Macedonia. A survey conducted among 124 farmers revealed that 73% of them are willing to allocate land for flood mitigation, provided they receive adequate compensation. Furthermore, certain factors increase farmers' willingness to cooperate. A logit model indicated a positive correlation between expectations of future floods (increased severity and frequency), receipt of ex-ante financial support, positive perception of the effectiveness of agricultural flood mitigation measures, and age. Those who view flood protection as personal responsibility and those more inclined to pay for flood insurance are less likely to cooperate.

Factors contributing to this vulnerability include geographical isolation, limited education, underdeveloped infrastructure, inadequate health facilities, and a lack of alternative income sources during extreme events.

A MODFLOW groundwater flow model was used to simulate and quantitatively assess the changes in hydrogeological conditions affecting the groundwater flooding process. A field study of the Akbulak micro-district research site showed that groundwater flooding occurred in its center owing to a water table hillock with a total area of 0.07 km<sup>2</sup> and groundwater levels ranging from 1.2 to 0.25 m below the ground surface. The MODFLOW simulation suggested that this water table hillock developed from runoff, which, owing to a decrease in natural infiltration across an urbanized area, accumulated in low-elevation areas and infiltrated. This runoff accumulation effect may be up to eight times the annual average precipitation amount. Once in local sub-basins, larger runoff volume infiltrates into an underlying aquifer water table that is already high, might cause groundwater flooding in populated areas.
