| Abstract | In comparison to the classical inundation maps, flood risk maps generate more information about the flooding event because they bring into account the effects of flooding. Risk maps are generated as a mathematical combination of damage maps with different return periods. These maps can be useful to evaluate policy alternatives and they are an important input for social cost benefit analysis (SCBA), where the different functions of rivers (such as safety against flooding, economy (shipping, water related industry ...), natural environment, recreation ...) are combined and evaluated in global. |
