Flood risk assessment and management in urban areas

Introduction

Flooding is a natural disaster that affects millions of people worldwide, with urban areas being particularly vulnerable due to their high population density and extensive infrastructure. In recent years, the frequency and severity of flooding events have been increasing, likely due to climate change and urbanization. As a result, there is a growing need for effective flood risk assessment and management strategies in urban areas to minimize the impact of floods on communities and infrastructure.

This project will focus on the assessment and management of flood risks in urban areas, with the aim of exploring current practices, identifying challenges, and proposing potential solutions. By examining the existing literature, conducting field research, and analyzing data, this project seeks to contribute to the development of more resilient and sustainable flood management strategies for urban areas.
