Progress of Urban Flood Research and Overall Handling of Urban Flood in China

Abstract:

Under the background of the climatic changes and the rapid urban development, the occurring frequency of urban floods grows increasingly, the influencing areas gradually spread, and the disaster losses become increasingly severe. The handling of urban flood has already become an issue requiring quick and effective solution during human social developing process. First, the causes of urban flood and the characteristics of disaster losses were analyzed under a changing environment. Then, Combined with the new progresses of relevant researches conducted at home and abroad, the key problems found in the research of urban flood was systematically studied. Moreover, it was pointed out that the urban flood monitoring, assessment, early warning forecast and handling based on modern technologies would become the highlights in the future research. On this basis, the paper summarized the problems existing in the flood handling of Chinese cities and discussed the overall handling frameworks.
