| Zusammenfassung |
| Historical records
provide direct information about the climatic impact on society.
Especially great natural disasters such as river floods have been for long
attracting the attention of humankind. Time series for flood development
on the Rhine branches Waal, Nederrijn/Lek and IJssel in the Dutch Rhine
Delta are presented in this paper. In the case of the Waal it is even
possible to compare historical flood frequencies based on documentary data
with the recent development reconstructed from standardized instrumental
measurements. In brief, we will also discuss various parameters concerning
the structure of the flood series and the "human dimension" of
natural disaster, i.e. the vulnerability of society when facing natural
disasters. |
