At the present time, the deepening of our understanding about the
nature of extreme and catastrophic natural and man-induced events,
in particular hydrologic ones, becomes very topical. This book
addresses the development of advanced methods for the prediction,
the estimation of occurrence probabilities and the risk related to
extreme hydrological events. Reduction of the vulnerability of
social, economic, and engineering systems to extreme hydrologic
events and the decrease of their effects on such systems is also
being discussed in this book.
Dealing with these problems needs further refining of existing
tools for the prediction and forecasting of extreme events. It can
be done essentially through revealing mechanisms of their
generation and with the use of new approaches and methodologies in
related branches of statistical- and physics based hydrology.
The following topics are considered in this book:
1) Basin case studies on extreme hydrological events
2) Probabilistic estimation in flood studies
3) Ice-induced floods
4) River low flows, climatic conditions and environmental
issues
5) Risk assessment and management for floods, low water events,
and damage vulnerability issues.
