Short summary
We developed a flood risk model that estimates the benefit of mitigation measures under uncertainty. The model is computationally efficient and is embedded in a framework that separates the influence of natural from model-related uncertainties. It allows the comparison of (combined) measures and thus provides a robust basis for decision-making. We applied the flood risk model to the Bavarian Danube, Germany, to assess the effectiveness of a flood detention basin.
