A FLOOD DAMAGE MODEL FOR FLOOD PLAIN STUDIES1

Nassir El‐Jabi, Jean Rousselle

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Hydrologic and economic information must be integrated in flood plain management. This study describes an integrated approach which includes consideration of the hydrologic, hydrodynamic, physical, and economic components of the total system. On the basis of these components, a theoretical model is proposed which provides a rational procedure for estimating flood damages from projections of economic development within an area. The utility of the model is demonstrated by applying it to a flood‐prone region in Southern Quebec, Canada.
