Rising Flood Frequency Threatens Coastal Communities Worldwide - Study Warns
The article discusses various aspects of flood hydrology, including hydrology of floods, deterministic streamflow simulation, stochastic streamflow simulation, streamflow forecasting, coastal and urban flooding, flood management, and flood control programs. Key findings include the limitations of current hydrologic modeling, the need for a future flood research agenda in the United States, the impact of climatic variability on flooding in Louisiana, and the importance of flood management strategies in different regions. The research also highlights the use of statistical methods for determining typical hydrographs, the application of geomorphologic theory to ungauged watersheds, and the reduction of uncertainties in flood estimation.
