  • Assessment of the Impact of Geomorphologic and Hydroclimatic Factors on the Flood Hazard in River Basins
    STUDIA GEOMORPHOLOGICA CARPATHO-BALCANICA VOL. XLV, 2011: 121–135 PL ISSN 0081-6434 MARIYANA NIKOLOVA1, VALENTIN NIKOLOV2 (SOFIA) ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF GEOMORPHOLOGIC AND HYDROCLIMATIC FACTORS ON THE FLOOD HAZARD IN RIVER BASINS Abstract: A case study on the Yantra River Basin dynamics under recent climate fluctuations and economic changes is carried out to demonstrate the important role of some geographical factors for successful flood hazard assessment and risk management practices. The number of the extreme rainfalls and related flood events during the last decade grew in the river basin located in the Stara Planina Mountains in accordance with the trends observed in North Bulgaria and Central and Eastern Europe. The use of geoinformation technologies have provided tools for the assessment and mapping of the flood hazard. The settlements’ exposure to flood-related hazards and vulnerable zones in the Yantra River Basin have been indicated. Key words: flood hazard, climate change, river basins INTRODUCTION With the ongoing climate change, the frequency, pattern and severity of flood- ing are expected to change, and become more uncertain and more damaging. Results from the Expected Annual Damage modelling indicate that flood dam- ages related to different climate change scenarios are projected to rise across much of Europe (F e y e n et al. 2006). Current dynamics of climate, land use, economy and population density in a given river basin are some of the main drivers for respective changes of flood hazard dimensions. The Yantra River basin is one of the largest river basins in Bulgaria, with diverse landscape structure and a high degree of economic development.
