The effectiveness of polder systems on peak discharge capping of floods along the middle reaches of the Elbe River in Germany

In flood modelling, many one-dimensional (1-D) hydrodynamic models are too restricted in capturing the spatial differentiation of processes within a polder or system of polders and two-dimensional (2-D) models are very demanding in data requirements and computational resources. The latter is an impo...
