Due to the rising damages caused by recent typhoons and flooding events, regional flood control projects have become common concerns for the government and public. This paper introduces a fully probabilisticmodeling technique into the flood loss assessment and cost-benefit analysis of flood control projects, using the Keelung River Basin Integrated Flood Control Plan as an example. Computer simulated flood hazard maps from the National Science Council were used in conjunction with the GIS-based census data and land uses information for the flood risk exposure analysis. The estimation of direct flood damages to residential and commercial buildingswere based on the depth-damage functions established by previous surveys on the disaster areas. Furthermore, an aggregate loss exceedance probability curvewas presented for a complete assessment on annual overall losses. Finally, a decisionmaking theory under risk is used to derive the optimal investment level, aiming at improving the cost and benefit assessment of a flood control project. Themethods and empirical results froma case study on the Keelung River Basin Integrated Flood Control Plan form a supporting basis for the existing flood management strategies by the government. |
