Abstract
This paper is concerned about the following problems: (1) Flood simulation for urban areas based on compound models of 1-D and 2-D hydraulic models, (2) Flood losses estimation and assessment by applying hydrological and hydraulic approaches, and (3) Application of advanced information technologies in flood simulation, information visualization and system integration, such as GIS, WEB, Database and Flash, etc. Case studies have been done for some Chinese cities, such as Shanghai, Hangzhou, Beijing etc.
