Maximising the usefulness of flood risk assessment for the River Vistula in Warsaw
The derivation of the flood risk maps requires an estimation of maximum inundation extent for a flood with a given return period, e.g.100 or 500 yr.The results of numerical simulations of flood wave propagation are used to overcome the lack of relevant observations.In practice, deterministic 1-D models are used for that purpose.The solution of a 1-
