In conclusion, flood sediments, especially in catchments impacted by mining, may pose a risk to the affected public. Hence, we propose to (I) improve the flood mapping by incorporating potential pollution sources; (II) extend warning messages to incorporate specific guidance; (III) use appropriat...
Different approaches to the control of floodplain‘encroachment’ exist in France and in England and Wales. In France, a ‘coercive’ approach emphasises strong central government intervention within a system of designated risk zones for all natural hazards. In England and Wales, a more ‘cooperative...

with such conditions frequently occurring with extreme flood events. This being the case, this physically based and experimentally calibrated method is highly adaptable to abrupt changes in the flow regime and can rapidly and more accurately assess the degree of flood hazard risk in a short time pe...
