Abstract: Flood plain management requires assessment of the costs and benefits of all projects under consideration. The benefits translate mainly into flood damage reduction. This study presents a methodology for estimating flood ...

Abstract: The economic yield of a flood‐plain zoning program is measured by cost‐benefit analysis. The methodology entails the use of a probabilistic hydroeconomic model to evaluate expected flood damages with and without zoning. ...

Abstract: In order to forecast drainage basin runoff, mathematical models involving diffusion processes are tested against hydrological data obtained from the hydrographic basin of the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, located in northeastern ...
