The Evolution of Global Flood Risk (EVOFLOOD)

Lead Research Organisation: UNIVERSITY OF READING
Department Name: Geography and Environmental Sciences

Abstract

Flooding is the deadliest and most costly natural hazard on the planet, affecting societies across the globe. Nearly one billion people are exposed to the risk of flooding in their lifetimes and around 300 million are impacted by floods in any given year. The impacts on individuals and societies are extreme: each year there are over 6,000 fatalities and economic losses exceed US$60 billion. These problems will become much worse in the future. There is now clear consensus that climate change will, in many parts of the globe, cause substantial increases in the frequency of occurrence of extreme rainfall events, which in turn will generate increases in peak flood flows and therefore flood vast areas of land. Meanwhile, societal exposure to this hazard is compounded still further as a result of population growth and encroachment of people and key infrastructure onto floodplains.

Faced with this pressing challenge, reliable tools are required to predict how flood hazard and exposure will change in the future. Existing state-of-the-art Global Flood Models (GFMs) are used to simulate the probability of flooding across the Earth, but unfortunately they are highly constrained by two fundamental limitations. First, current GFMs represent the topography and roughness of river channels and floodplains in highly simplified ways, and their relatively low resolution inadequately represents the natural connectivity between channels and floodplains. This restricts severely their ability to predict flood inundation extent and frequency, how it varies in space, and how it depends on flood magnitude. The second limitation is that current GFMs treat rivers and their floodplains essentially as 'static pipes' that remain unchanged over time. In reality, river channels evolve through processes of erosion and sedimentation, driven by the impacts of diverse environmental changes (e.g., climate and land use change, dam construction), and leading to changes in channel flow conveyance capacity and floodplain connectivity. Until GFMs are able to account for these changes they will remain fundamentally unsuitable for predicting the evolution of future flood hazard, understanding its underlying causes, or quantifying associated uncertainties.

To address these issues we will develop an entirely new generation of Global Flood Models by: (i) using Big Data sets and novel methods to enhance substantially their representation of channel and floodplain morphology and roughness, thereby making GFMs more morphologically aware; (ii) including new approaches to representing the evolution of channel morphology and channel-floodplain connectivity; and (iii) combining these developments with tools for projecting changes in catchment flow and sediment supply regimes over the 21st century. These advances will enable us to deliver new understanding on how the feedbacks between climate, hydrology, and channel morphodynamics drive changes in flood conveyance and future flooding. Moreover, we will also connect our next generation GFM with innovative population models that are based on the integration of satellite, survey, cell phone and census data. We will apply the coupled model system under a range of future climate, environmental and societal change scenarios, enabling us to fully interrogate and assess the extent to which people are exposed, and dynamically respond, to evolving flood hazard and risk.

Overall, the project will deliver a fundamental change in the quantification, mapping and prediction of the interactions between channel-floodplain morphology and connectivity, and flood hazard across the world's river basins. We will share models and data on open source platforms. Project outcomes will be embedded with scientists, global numerical modelling groups, policy-makers, humanitarian agencies, river basin stakeholders, communities prone to regular or extreme flooding, the general public and school children.

Planned Impact

Almost one billion people are exposed to the risk of flooding during their lifetimes. This project will develop a suite of intuitive and predictive global scale flood models that will allow scientists and stakeholders to understand, illustrate and simulate how flood hazard and risk in rivers and their connected floodplains will respond to future environmental change.

Who could potentially benefit from the proposed research?
This project is aimed at seven groups of beneficiaries: (i) the scientific community in its broadest sense (e.g., researchers working on basin source:sink interrelationships including climate, land-use, hydrology, biogeochemistry); (ii) the global flood insurance industry (via a network of the world's 10 largest insurance companies); (iii) humanitarian organisations and disaster response agencies; (iv) government overseas aid distribution agencies and organisations who are responsible for facilitating societal resilience to floods and flood disaster management in response to events; (v) communities subject to regular flooding or prone to catastrophic and extreme flooding or drought (e.g., through links to regional and national governments, disaster relief agencies, hazard mitigation and NGO resilience teams); (vi) major civil engineering companies responsible for building resilient infrastructure and flood defences; and (vii) the general public and media via news reports, public debates, response to natural emergency events, production of resources for the school curriculum, and Learned Societies.

How might the identified stakeholders benefit?
Through: (i) provision of a suite of new open source computer programs and datasets made available through the NERC Environmental Information Data Centre, the project website and the specialist, NSF-funded, Community Surface Dynamics Modelling System (CSDMS) portal; (ii) production and sharing of flood risk and inundation maps for large river basins and regions of strategic value including cross-boundary/country zones; (iii) provision of advice to professional and public river basin users and managers (e.g., with and via Project Partners); (iv) sharing of expertise, software and data (via agreed secondments and participation as Project Partners); (v) advice that better targets aid investment and more efficient emergency disaster management including a better projection of population migration and impact by floods; (vi) provision of news feeds, interaction with short film production, and dissemination to schools and the general public (e.g., British Science Festival), social media and website resources.

A new 5-year capital investment by the UK Government enabling essential science and innovation to improve the country's resilience to hydrological extremes.

In June 2022, the UK Research and Innovation department announced their intention to invest £38M towards the establishment of a nationwide, digitally enabled Floods and Droughts Research Infrastructure.

Led by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, the FDRI will facilitate the hydrological science and innovation needed to make the country more adaptable and resilient to floods and droughts. It will include: urgently needed nationwide deployments of instruments for observing our water environment; novel digital solutions to support data -discovery, -access, and -integration; an innovation programme to support and catalyse research and development, and a capacity building programme to support collaborative working and skills sharing.

FDRI will advance our understanding of how, when and where floods and droughts occur, enabling improved predictions, robust assessment of impacts and implementation of appropriate mitigation measures. It will help ensure that the UK continues to play a leading role in hydrological research and innovation, driving solutions worldwide.

Results and Impact OKRE Experimental Stories - Radio 4 Drama/Wellcome Trust Climate & Health workshop - Professor Hannah Cloke

Experimental Stories ultimate goal is to inspire writers and producers to commission and broadcast drama that is inspired by science.

Working primarily with BBC Radio 4, the workshops bring together scientists, researchers, audio producers and writers to create drama inspired by science. The workshop series has been running since 2012, resulting in a diverse range of award-winning Radio 4 drama (see Experimental Stories commissions list).

The workshop fuses science and research with audio drama, fostering new relationships, generating new energy and developing some great original drama pitches for BBC Radio 4.

Experimental Stories has specific themes to guide the work. In the past, themes have included consciousness, antibiotics and data. The theme for 2023 is climate change and health, from a range of perspectives including mental health, food, cities, the impact of flooding and heatwaves on society and infectious diseases.

Results and Impact The Summer Science Exhibition is the Royal Society's week-long flagship public engagement event. It
is held in July each year in the beautiful surroundings of the Royal Society in central London and
provides a free, annual display of cutting-edge science and technology in the UK (selected by
competition). It is attended by schools and the public, as well as science journalists, policymakers and
politicians, members and Fellows of the Royal Society.
A team from Water@Reading (Geography & Environmental Sciences) led by Professor Hannah Cloke
was invited to exhibit at the 2023 Summer Science Exhibition with a smaller version of the stand that
had been selected for the 2020 exhibition (cancelled due to the pandemic). We were one of only a
few of the 2020 exhibitors who were invited, which is a positive reflection on the original application
and the efforts we made to adapt our activities for the replacement digital event in 2021.
We attended on Thursday 6 July (a schools day, with the Royal Society 'soiree' in the evening) and on
Friday 7 July (a public day). On both days we received extremely positive feedback on our activities
and team energy, from the public, other exhibitors, and Royal Society staff.
The Royal Society welcomed a total of 9,700 visitors to the Exhibition which ran for 6 days from
Tuesday 4 July to Sunday 9 July 2023. There were 1,100 visitors during the day on 6 July plus 460 for
the evening Soiree, and 1,470 visitors on 7 July - so over 3,300 people saw our stand over the two
days we attended.
