Most research on hydrological risks focuses either on flood risk or drought risk, whilst floods
and droughts are two extremes of the same hydrological cycle. To better design disaster risk …

Growth in satellite observations and modelling capabilities has transformed drought
monitoring, offering near-real-time information. However, current monitoring efforts focus on …

Infiltration is of great concern in many fields like hydrology, agriculture as well as
geotechnical and geological engineering. This study aims to investigate water infiltration in a …

This book integrates the physical processes of dam breaching and the mathematical aspects
of risk assessment in a concise manner• The first book that introduces the causes, processes …

Drought‐induced cracking of soils is of great concern with the advent of global climate
change. The cracking process accelerates the evaporation rate of pore water, lowers the …

Dry shrinkage cracking of soil is a common phenomenon in nature. The shrinking and
cracking of soil have been linked to several geological disasters. To simulate dry shrinkage …

Sufficient freshwater is needed for water dependent sectors such as agriculture, nature,
drinking water, and industry. However, even in low-lying, flood prone countries like the …

Relative humidity (RH) is among key environmental and climatic factors that affect the
evolution of soil desiccation cracking. This study aims to investigate how RH variations …

Dike risk management requires breaching parameters that can be estimated rapidly to
support the prediction of inundation zones and decision making. The objectives of this paper …

This study synthesizes the current understanding of the hydrological, impact, and adaptation
processes underlying drought‐to‐flood events (ie, consecutive drought and flood events) …
