| Zusammenfassung |
| Assessing and mapping damage risk of floods for large river basins is still
in its infancy. Damage risk is understood to be the combination of flood
hazard and the vulnerability of communities to a flood of a particular
return period. Risk is calculated and mapped for two communities in which
dykes are not located for flood protection: Meissen on the Elbe River and
Döbeln in the Mulde catchment. Different methodologies for the
computation of flood depth and inundation extent of varying flood return
periods (hazard) are compared. Exposure and relative damage to the flooding
(vulnerability) based on land-use coverages of different scale are also
compared and discussed. A property asset coverage completes the data
requirements for the construction of the risk maps. Recommendations for
continued research on risk assessments of large river basins conclude the
study. |
