Abstract Global models of tide, storm surge, and wave setup are used to obtain projections of episodic coastal flooding over the coming century. The models are extensively validated against tide gauge data and the impact of uncertainties and assumptions on projections estimated in detail. Global “hotspots” where there is projected to be a significant change in episodic flooding by the end of the century are identified and found to be mostly concentrated in north western Europe and Asia. Resul…

Abstract Modeling interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) for flood forecasting represents a serious challenge: both accuracy and interpretability are indispensable. Because of the uncertainty and nonlinearity of flood, existing hydrological solutions always achieve low prediction robustness while machine learning (ML) approaches neglect the physical interpretability of models. In this paper, we focus on the need for flood forecasting and propose an interpretable Spatio-Temporal Attention …

Floods in urban environments often result in loss of life and destruction of property, with many negative socio-economic effects. However, the application of most flood prediction models still remains challenging due to data scarcity. This creates a need to develop novel hybridized models based on historical urban flood events, using, e.g., metaheuristic optimization algorithms and wavelet analysis. The hybridized models examined in this study (Wavelet-SVR-Bat and Wavelet-SVR-GWO), designed a…
Deadly Compound Heat Stress‐Flooding Hazard Across the Central United States
Authors: Wei Zhang, Gabriele Villarini
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2020gl089185 · Citations: 105

Abstract While major advances have been made toward understanding flooding across the central United States, little is known about the linkage between heat stress, characterized by high temperature and humidity, and flooding during the summer in this area. Here, we focus on a compound event that relates these two hazards; we find that a high percentage of floods are preceded by a heat stress event. The potential impacts are significant, leading to overwhelming the current infrastructure (e.g….

Abstract Sea level rise (SLR) and subsidence are expected to increase the risk of flooding and reliance on flood defenses for cities built on deltas. Here, we combine reliability analysis with hydrodynamic modeling to quantify the effect of projected relative SLR on dike failures and flood hazards for Shanghai, one of the most exposed delta cities. We find that flood inundation is likely to occur in low‐lying and poorly protected periurban/rural areas of the city even under the present‐day se…

In cold (i.e. boreal, subarctic, snowy) climate zones, dynamic groundwater storage is greatly affected by the timing and amount of snowmelt. With global warming, cold climates in the northern hemisphere will transition to temperate. As temperatures rise, the dominant type of precipitation will change from snow to rain in winter. Further, the growing season is prolonged. This has a direct impact on the aquifer recharge pattern. However, little is known about the effect of changing annual recha…

Sustainable water management for cross-border resources: The Balkhash Lake Basin of Central Asia, 1931–2015
Authors: W. Duan, S. Zou, Yaning Chen, D. Nover, G. Fang, Yi Wang
Journal: Unknown · DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.121614 · Citations: 100
Matched topics: water management
Abstract The water level in Balkhash Lake is an important indicator for basin-wide ecosystem conditions, which is affected by many factors. The Ili River is a typical trans-boundary river between China and Kazakhstan, and its flows occupy about 80% of the runoff of all rivers flowing into Balkhash Lake. Several studies argued that overexploitation of water resources on the China side caused the decrease of river discharge of the Ili River, eventually leading to the decline of the Balkhash Lak…
