An Important Role of Hydraulics Today: Flood Hazard Mapping
Abstrak
This chapter provides an overview of the application of hydraulics to flood hazard mapping in Japan. It explains the methods used to produce two types of flood hazard maps and highlights issues for further investigation, such as how to incorporate the process of levee collapse expansion in the vertical direction into modeling. It also provides evidence that flood hazard mapping is reliable in elucidating potential harm. Furthermore, it identifies problems with evacuation despite the provision of flood hazard maps. The purpose is to share information and serve as a call for new developments in flood hazard mapping. The information provided in this chapter can help young researchers and engineers to get a quick start in flood hazard mapping. At the same time, it can serve as an inspiration for more experienced researchers to pursue further in-depth studies.
