Abstract
Flood as a natural disaster causes heavy human and economic losses and social unrests in most areas of the world. As flood control cost and flood damage compensation is a heavy burden over countries' budget, traditional flood design methods are being replaced by more reliable risk-based methods employing comprehensive risk analysis. In this respect, flood damage estimation is an important step in flood control systems design and analysis. In large river basins with complex reservoir systems and various land uses, flood damage estimation is complex, data-intensive, time demanding, and uncertain task requiring an intensive hydrologic and hydraulic analysis. In this study a simple approach is...
