dc.description.abstract
Flood estimation and flood management have traditionally been the domain of
hydrologists, water resources engineers and statisticians, and disciplinary
approaches abound. Dominant views have been shaped; one example is the
catchment perspective: floods are formed and influenced by the interaction of
local, catchment-specific characteristics, such as meteorology, topography and
geology. These traditional views have been beneficial, but they have a narrow
framing. In this paper we contrast traditional views with broader perspectives
that are emerging from an improved understanding of the climatic context of
floods. We come to the following conclusions: (1) extending the traditional
system boundaries (local catchment, recent decades, hydrological/hydraulic
processes) opens up exciting possibilities for better understanding and
improved tools for flood risk assessment and management. (2) Statistical
approaches in flood estimation need to be complemented by the search for the
causal mechanisms and dominant processes in the atmosphere, catchment and
river system that leave their fingerprints on flood characteristics. (3)
Natural climate variability leads to time-varying flood characteristics, and
this variation may be partially quantifiable and predictable, with the
perspective of dynamic, climate-informed flood risk management. (4) Efforts
are needed to fully account for factors that contribute to changes in all
three risk components (hazard, exposure, vulnerability) and to better
understand the interactions between society and floods. (5) Given the global
scale and societal importance, we call for the organization of an
international multidisciplinary collaboration and data-sharing initiative to
further understand the links between climate and flooding and to advance flood
research.
