FLADAR: Flood zoning in Southeast Attica using gauge calibrated radar rainfall and advanced modelling techniques Floods are natural hazards with potential for many fatalities and significant economic losses. However the degree of vulnerability to any disaster is also a function of human acts and behavior. The main objective of the FLADAR project is to follow the steps suggested by the 2007/60/EC Directive on the assessment and management of flood risks in order to conduct initially a preliminary flood risk assessment and then draw flood risk zones for a partially developed watershed in East Attiki. Raingauge-calibrated radar rainfall, distributed hydrologic modeling, advanced methods of integrated modeling at a river basin scale and GIS analysis support the assessment and results of the study. |
