  1. 1. Evaluation of rainfall-runoff modelling data in Sebeya Catchment, Rwanda - Recommendations for improved flood hazard analysis

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Författare :Anna Ebbersten; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Rwanda; Sebeya; hydrological modelling; rainfall-runoff; catchment; HEC-HMS; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Rwanda has experienced an increase in the frequency of riverine floods since the mid 2000s, and the future impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle is uncertain. Flood hazard analysis is one tool used to reduce flood risks; the analysis is often based on models which requires hydrological and meteorological data. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Behind the early warning: Improving impact-based forecasting of riverine floods in Malawi using passive microwave remote sensing

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Lone Mokkenstorm; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Early Warning; Riverine Floods; Humanitarian Work; Impact-based Forecasting; Malawi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates whether freely available, coarse-resolution, Passive Microwave Remote Sensing (PMRS) data (37 GHz) can be effectively used for early warning systems for floods in Malawi. The Shire River Basin in Chikwawa and the smaller-scale North Rukuru River Basin in Karonga were studied using two alternative, ratio-based satellite indices that make use of the signal difference between wet and dry pixel cells: The m index and the rcmc index.

  4. 3. Urban development consequences of the riverine floods in the Western Balkans: Analysing Belgrade

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Författare :Santiago Lema Burgos; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Urban resilience; flooding risk reduction; land use plan; flood preparedness; flood adaptation.; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Rapid urbanisation coupled with unplanned development create the perfect recipe for a disaster, the risk of which has increased with climate change-related uncertainties. Belgrade’s high population growth rate and exposure to riverine flooding presents such a case. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Analysis of floodplain population dynamics in the USA from 1790 to 2010​

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Firoza Akhter; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Floodplain; levee; flood damage; flood insurance; population dynamics; population growth rate;

    Sammanfattning : Floodplain is an important location for the economic and social development of society throughout history, although it afflicted by different disasters like floods and bank erosion from time to time. Population dynamics and distribution trends have important effects on the landscape and society. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Msimbazi Wetland Park : restoration of an urban flood plain in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Författare :Karin Axi; Elin Lindström; [2016]
    Nyckelord :floods; flood water management; pollution reduction; urban river restoration; urban wetland;

    Sammanfattning : Degradation of urban river systems is a global problem that poses challenges in Tanzania and other low-income countries, as well as in the rest of the world. To a large extent this is a result of fast urbanization, pollution and floods, that changes and deteriorate natural riverine systems and their ecosystems. LÄS MER
