TL;DR: This study provides a first assessment of continuous sub-national trajectories of blue water consumption, renewable freshwater availability, and water scarcity for the entire 20th century to suggest measures for alleviating water scarcity and increasing sustainability.

TL;DR: An overview of existing flood mapping practices in 29 countries in Europe and shows what maps are already available and how such maps are used can be found in this article, where the authors present a survey of the available flood maps and their use in emergency planning, spatial planning, and awareness raising.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of uncertainty in these four components on the final damage estimate was assessed and it was shown that the value of elements at risk and depth-damage curves are the most important sources of uncertainty.

TL;DR: A priori flood risk assessments have become an important part of flood management practices, but there are also notable differences between assessments at different spatial scales, for instance those related to the methodology, use of assessments and uncertainties.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the results of five state-of-the-art global hydrological models (GHMs) with observations to examine the role of human impact parameterizations (HIP) in the simulation of the mean, high, and low flows.
