Flood Management Case Study

Note

The flood management example is covered in the plenary lecture on Jan 9, 2023 (see Brightspace), and has not yet been added to this book.

As mentioned on Introduction page:

Throughout this book we will repeatedly draw on the field of flood management to illustrate risk and reliability concepts as this field requires expertise from all perspectives in civil and environmental engineering and geosciences, from climate and hydrologic processes to evacuation and recovery.

MUDE exam information

You are not required to memorize all aspects of the flooding example, but should be capable of recognizing how key concepts from other parts of this book can be applied in this context. Note that non-flooding examples from other fields may be used to text concepts on the exam in a similar way.
