1. Introduction Geohazards are naturally occurring geological, hydrological or geomorphological phenomena that can potentially cause damage or uncontrolled risk increase to the human beings, their properties or the environment (Doornkamp 1989). Among all the natural occurrences, volcanic eruptions, ...

and a final flood map was generated. The map indicated that approximately 37% of the total area in Petra catchment is at high or very high risk of flooding, necessitating significant attention from governmental agencies and decision-makers for flood risk mitigation. The AHP method proposed in thi...
The risk assessment then formed the basis for design of debris-flood mitigation structures.

Introduction The southwestern Alberta mountain front was affected by a...
This set of measures has gained recognition in many countries as viable and cost-effective approaches to flood risk management [3,4,7]. For effective soil conservation, flood prone areas require the implementation of multiple complementary measures. Eventually, the most cost-effective measure is the...
This can be most easily understood for flood risk mitigation, where data are reported from watersheds of different sizes, for storms with different AEPs, and for varying levels of measure implementation. However, it is also clear that the water quality improvement performance of specific practices...
w and b are weight vector and bias term, respectively, and can be estimated by minimizing the following structural risk function ∑R = 1 wTw + C 2 Nd Lε (yˆ i ) i=1 (6) where Nd is the sample size; C represents the tradeoff between the model complexity and the empirical ...
