Abstract
- Hydrological hazards, or "hydro-hazards", are defined as "extreme events associated with the occurrence, movement and distribution of water, such as floods and droughts" (Visser-Quinn et al., 2019 [[1]]). The research suggests that the dominant control on flood vulnerability is urban growth and that better planning, taking into account flood hazard zoning, would have a positive impact on flood exposure. The case study explores the trade-off between dual use flood storage areas flooding and downstream urban flood risk. [Extracted from the article]
