Features: Based on a review of the current status of regional flood risk assessment both domestically and internationally, this book explores regional flood risk assessment from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Theoretically, the book comprehensively constructs a scientific and model system for flood risk assessment, including the definition of flood risk based on stochastic and fuzzy uncertainties, a conceptual model of the flood risk formation process, quantitative methods for analyzing flood risk factors, and mathematical models for estimating flood risk under complete and incomplete data conditions. In the practical part, the book selects the Yangtze River Basin and Hunan Province as typical regions and applies the theories, models, and indicator systems constructed in the previous section to assess their flood risks.
