Description: Flood Hazard Mapping : Uncertainty and Its Value in the Decision-Making Process, Paperback by Mukolwe, Micah Mukungu, ISBN 1138032867, ISBN-13 9781138032866, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This doctoral dissertation examines uncertainty in flood inundation models and develops methods for the use of probabilistic flood maps derived by hydraulic models in spatial planning. It assesses different sources of uncertainty by focusing on reduced-complexity models of flood inundation dynamics, as well as testing novel methods to incorporate uncertain model output in decision making in spatial planning in floodplain areas. It explores major sources of errors in flood inundation modeling and applications of utility-based approaches to aid the decision making processes, considering the trade-offs between model complexity, computational efficiency, and parameter uncertainty; how input data, model structure, and parameters affect the uncertainty of flood inundation models; and how probabilistic maps can be used by flood risk managers and spatial planners. It reviews flood inundation models, then describes case studies of River Ubaye, France, and River Po, Italy, as well as the major sources of uncertainty affecting flood inundation models, focusing on the evaluation and quantification of the impact of boundary condition uncertainty and parameter uncertainty in flood inundation models using 1D and 2D model codes of reduced complexity. It then uses a Monte Carlo approach based on the Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation framework to develop probabilistic flood maps and assess flood damage and the potential benefits of alternative risk reduction options.
