Physically based hydrological flood routing methods
TL;DR: In this article, three deterministic and two stochastic methods of synthesis of conceptual parameters were studied, and the results offer aid in identifying conceptual parameters when modelling systems for which no historical time series of inflow-outflow data are available (e.g. ungauged rivers or river engineering design).
Journal ArticleDOI
What can we learn from the projections of changes of flow patterns? Results from Polish case studies
Mikołaj Piniewski,Mikołaj Piniewski,Hadush K. Meresa,Renata J. Romanowicz,Marzena Osuch,Mateusz Szcześniak,Ignacy Kardel,Tomasz Okruszko,Abdelkader Mezghani,Zbigniew W. Kundzewicz,Zbigniew W. Kundzewicz +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the CHASE-PL and CHIHE projects for two future time horizons and RCP 8.5 scenario, generated by two projects in the Polish-Norwegian Research Programme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Doing more while remaining the same? Flood risk governance in Poland
Piotr Matczak,Piotr Matczak,Jakub Lewandowski,Adam Choryński,Małgorzata Szwed,Zbigniew W. Kundzewicz,Zbigniew W. Kundzewicz +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present how the approaches to flood risk in Poland have evolved over the last 25 years and reveal that the radical transformation of the political system did not lead to significant changes in flood risk governance; changes in response to disastrous floods are incremental.

TL;DR: In this article, the FLORIST project devoted to flood risk in the region of the northern foothills of the Tatra Mountains in Poland has been presented, which includes observation-based hydroclimatology; projections for the future; dendrogeomorphology; and influence of transport of large wood on fluvial processes.
Adaptation to Climate Change: Why is it Needed and How Can it be Implemented?

TL;DR: In this article, the ADAM project has published the third study to the CEPS Policy Brief series from ongoing research being carried out for the EU-funded ADAM (ADaptation And Mitigation strategies: supporting European climate policy), which sets out the rationales for public policy related to adaptation to the impacts of climate change in the EU.
