Perspectives on risk analysis and control for real-time operation of flood control systems

Abstract

Flood control operation, a non-engineering measure, can efficiently manage flood disasters within a river basin. However, numerous uncertainties exit in the real-time operation of flood control systems, creating risks in decision-making. As an efficient tool to mitigate these risks, risk management has garnered increasing attention in real-time flood control operation. This communication offers a series of suggestions for future research concerning risk management in real-time flood control operation, including risk assessment, risk diagnosis, and risk control methods.
