- Abstract:
- The project involves using futures techniques - scenario analysis based on a systems analysis of the flooding system in the Taihu Basin, with a combination of climatic, hydrological, hydraulic, socio-economic, flood damage, defence reliability and flood risk assessment tools to develop a comprehensive flood risk assessment system for the Taihu Basin in East China, looking up to 50 years into the future. The project aims to: (i) Identify the unique flood risk management problems facing the Taihu Basin; (ii) Explore how the risk of flooding might change in the Taihu Basin, during the next 50 years; and (iii) Identify options for Government and other stakeholders responsible for responding to the future challenges. This knowledge will help to inform strategic planning of structural and non-structural flood protection measures and provide tools and techniques for a new Management Decision Support Framework for flood risk management in the Taihu Basin referred to as the TBFRAS (Taihu Basin Flood Risk Assessment System).
