Flood, farms and credit: The role of branch banking in the era of climate change

Using Iran's unexpected flood in April 2019 as a natural experiment, we show that local branches bridge the time gap between the disaster and governmental aids by immediately increasing their lending for two months following the flood. Analyzing proprietar ...

Effects of water releases and sediment supply on a residual flow reach

Giovanni De Cesare, Robin Schroff, Camille Blanck

An artificial floods program has been implemented on the Sarine residual flow reach, downstream of the Rossens dam. Two artificial floods were released in 2016 (coupled with sediment augmentation) and in 2020. A natural flood occurred in 2021. The indicato ...

Flood of 23 November 2019 on the French Riviera: a comparison of discharges estimated by image analysis and hydrological modelling

Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau, Etienne Robert

The short and heavy rainfall events observed on the French Riviera often lead to flash floods on coastal catchments: during the flood of 2 October 2015, a peak discharge between 185 and 295 m(3)/s was estimated on the Brague at Biot at 8:00 PM, whereas the ...

Experimental investigations on plunge pool protection measures for Ilarion Dam in Greece

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Romain Nathan Hippolyte Merlin Van Mol

Ilarion Dam is a 130 m high earthfill dam at Aliakmon River in northern Greece. The dam was commissioned in 2010. It has two spillway tunnels with ski jumps at the outlets. The two spillways are designed to release a total discharge of 5'500 m3/s during th ...

Third correction of the Rhône River in Switzerland: physical and numerical modelling of the “Martigny bend” priority measure

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Irene Almeida Samora, Pierre Bourqui, Jean-Noël Saugy

The Rhône River, second largest in Switzerland, has already been corrected twice (1863-1893; 1930-1960) to ensure safety and economic development in the Rhône valley. However, in October 2000, the highest flood of the century occurred showing the limitatio ...

Sediment replenishment as a measure to enhance river habitats in a residual flow reach downstream of a dam

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Severin Stähly

Floodplains downstream of a dam, where the natural flow regime is replaced by a constant residual flow discharge, often lack sediment supply and periodic inundation due to the absence of natural flood events. In this study, a flood with a one-year return p ...

Hydraulic Reconstruction of the 1818 Gietro Glacial Lake Outburst Flood

Christophe Ancey, Tomás Alfredo Trewhela Palacios, Eric Bardou, Martin Funk

In the spring of 1818, ice avalanches from the Gietro Glacier created an ice dam, which in turn formed a glacial lake in the Drance Valley (Canton of Valais, Switzerland). Today, its maximum volume is estimated to have been 25x10(6) m(3). Cantonal authorit ...

Set-up and configuraion of an ensemble Kalman filter for an operational flood forecasting system

Giovanni De Cesare, Alain Tommy Foehn, Anne Schwob

To forecast riverine floods, short-range forecasts are normally provided. In such cases the initial hydrological conditions highly influence the predictability of a flood event. The study evaluates the potential of an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) for the ...
