Book Synopsis
This book explains hydraulic modeling and floodplain dynamics, providing models of hazard predictions for floodplains based on state-of-the-art remote sensing data. Ideal for academic researchers and professionals working in hazard mitigation, hydraulic engineering and remote sensing, it is one of four books on climate-related flood disaster management theory and practice.
