======Future flooding: China - Taihu Basin====== The China/UK scientific cooperation project on flood risk management in the Taihu Basin has made significant progress in understanding and modeling future flood risks due to climate change, socio-economic development, and flood defense systems.\\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ ^ Quick Facts ^^ |Report location: |[[https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/geography/foresightchina/index.html|source]] | |Language: |English | |Publisher: |[[encyclopedia:university_of_nottingham|University of Nottingham]] | |Publication date: |October 25, 2010 | |Authors: |E.P. Evans, X.T. Cheng | |Geographic focus: |China | |Page count: |74 | =====Methods===== The project used the Source-Hazards-Capacities-Receptor (SHCR) model instead of the Source-Pathway-Receptor model to analyze flood risk drivers and responses. It verified the capacity of the PRECIS regional climate model, developed a VIC hydrological model, derived socio-economic scenarios, created a flood damage assessment model, and built a broad-scale hydraulic model using the ISIS software.\\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ =====Key Insights===== The project has developed a broad-scale, long-term 'end-to-end' modeling system for flood scenario analysis in the Taihu Basin. It has integrated climate change scenarios, hydrological and hydraulic models, socio-economic scenarios, flood damage assessment models, and a GIS-based risk analysis system. The project has also trained professionals and established a foundation for future work.\\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ =====Additional Viewpoints===== Categories: {{tag>2010_publication_year}} | {{tag>English_publication_language}} | {{tag>china-uk_scientific_cooperation}} | {{tag>climate_change}} | {{tag>flood_damage_assessment}} | {{tag>flood_risk}} | {{tag>flood_risk_management}} | {{tag>flood_risk_responses}} | {{tag>hydraulic_modeling}} | {{tag>hydrological_modeling}} | {{tag>scenario_analysis}} | {{tag>socio-economic_development}} | {{tag>structural_flood_defense}} | {{tag>taihu_basin}} | {{tag>china_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>urbanization}} ~~DISCUSSION~~
