Abstract

The European ‘Floods Directive’ 2007/60/EC focuses on the development of flood risk maps and management plans on the basis of the most appropriate and advanced tools. This pushed a paradigm shift for moving to sustainable development through processes of stakeholder engagement to improve the efficiency and transparency of decision processes. In this context, this research project developed a free and open-source GIS software, calledFloodRisk, to operatively support stakeholders in their compliance with risk map delineation and the management of current and future flood risk based on their needs for multi-purpose applications. In this paper, a high-resolution impact assessment framework based on 2D inundation modelling with different return periods was used, as input, within theFloodRiskmodel to reconstruct the socio-economic damages based on a case study showing how structural and non-structural measures can significantly decrease the cost of floods for households. The sensitivity of theFloodRiskmodel was also examined and it was found to be highly dependent on the selection of damage functions and the economic values of the exposed assets.

Abstract

Freshwater mussels are among the most imperiled invertebrates worldwide. In such a context, propagation and stocking of freshwater mussels can be an effective tool to support declining populations. Any such kind of action requires a careful assessment of its impacts, and I am thus particularly pleased to read a long list of questions to consider before starting a freshwater mussel propagation program right in the first chapter.
