Description: Das Projekt "European river flood occurrence and total risk assessment system" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung e.V. durchgeführt. General Information: The EUROTAS proposal for research and technological development is directed at the development and demonstration of integrated catchment models for the assessment and mitigation of flood risk, and at the development of both appropriate modelling and management procedures. The proposed research has three main components: - the development of an integrated framework for whole catchment modelling based upon an 'open-systems' approach, - the demonstration of the feasibility and benefits of integrated modelling to answer real scientific and practical issues on the changing nature of flood risk in five river catchments, and - the development of procedures to determine the impact of river engineering works and environmental change on flooding and the assessment of flood risk. The proposed research builds upon existing research advances from EU and nationally funded research programmes. The river catchment studies will address issues at the heart of sustainable development of river basins by exploring the impacts of human intervention in the basin, flood mitigation measures and the impacts on flood risk of past and future climatic and land use changes. The principal output of the research will be a prototype integrated catchment modelling system which will include decision support for the procedures developed in the course of the research. The framework will not be tied to any particular modelling system but will set protocols for communication between different modelling components. Thus, the framework will enable nationally or regionally preferred models to be incorporated in any future practical implementation of the system and so conform to the principle of subsidiarity. The Partners are particularly concerned that the research will meet the needs of river management authorities and will provide real benefit in the future mitigation of flood losses in the EU . The involvement of river authorities in the research is seen as a crucial pathway to future implementation of the research advances. The research results will be disseminated through scientific papers, an end-of-project conference as well as implementation of the prototype integrated modelling framework.
