CORFU Workshop Barcelona, 19 May 2014 The CORFU Project Slobodan Djordjević
Outline CORFU overview Selected highlights Workshops aims
The CORFU project Collaborative Research on Flood Resilience in Urban Areas Funded by the European Commission through Framework Programme 7, Grant Number 244047 Four-year project, finishing in summer 2014 Europe-Asia angle 3.5m budget www.corfu7.eu
The consortium Univ. of Exeter, Cranfield Univ. (UK) TUHH, HHWI (Germany) DHI (Denmark) Univ. of Nice S. Antipolis, AREP (France) Dura Vermeer (The Netherlands) CETaqua, CLABSA/Aqualogy, HYDS (Spain) IWA (Bangladesh) BUT, CAUPD, BMICPD (China) IITB (India) NTU (Taiwan)
Project aims Assess flood impacts for future scenarios Evaluate resilience measures and strategies Facilitate learning between Europe and Asia Help create flood resilient cities
Case study cities Barcelona Beijing Dhaka Hamburg Mumbai Nice Seoul Songdo Taipei
Drivers Socio-economic pathways Common global assumptions Regional scenarios for each city Combined with plausible climate futures Based on 4 th IPCC scenarios and regional studies

Flood impact typology Direct Indirect Tangible Physical damage to assets Buildings Contents Infrastructure Loss of industrial production Traffic disruption Intangible Loss of life Injuries Diseases Loss of ecological goods Inconvenience of recovery Vulnerability of population
Flood damage assessment tool Add-on in ArcGIS Interacts with data using built-in geoprocessing functions and executables Transferable algorithms
Assessment of health impacts CSOs to the urban surface 2D simulation of mixing and transport of pollutants Model calibration based on measurements taken in Dhaka in 2013 Exposure: pathogens concentrations + population data Dose/response relationships for different social categories Probability of infection Numbers of sick people
Assessment of health impacts 17
