Quantifying the Contribution of Rainfall and Tide Levels on Flooding in Low-lying Coastal Areas
01/05/2019
This paper outlines how to spatially identify coastal areas that are sensitive to extreme tides and rainfall, how to understand what catchments might be susceptible to rising sea levels in the future and what ground elevations will sea levels now and in the future effect pluvial flooding. It can be used to understand the effect of rising sea levels will have on flooding in low-lying coastal areas, better assess development in coastal areas and to minimise numerous joint probability modelling runs.
