Cost and Flooding Probability Minimization Based Design of HBPS Channel

Das, Amlan - In: Water Resources Management 24 (2010) 2, pp. 193-238

probability. An optimization model is developed to minimize the total cost of construction and flooding probability. The bi … flooding probability is converted to the flooding probability constraint. The first order analysis is used to develop the … flooding probability constraint equation. The optimization model is solved by using projected augmented Lagrangian method. The …

Dealing with Uncertainty in Flood Risk Assessment of Dike Rings in the Netherlands

Most, Herman; Wehrung, Mark - In: Natural Hazards 36 (2005) 1, pp. 191-206

Current flood protection policies in the Netherlands are based on design water levels. This concept does not allow for a proper evaluation of costs and benefits of flood protection. Hence, research is being carried out on the introduction of a flood risk approach, which looks into both the...
