Paper highlights urban flood impacts at
micro- & macro level. It discusses econ.linkages & multiplier effects, interface offloods with poverty.
Briefly discusses impact assessmentmethods suitable for Bangladesh. Inprocess, it identifies various econ. sectorsthat are more vulnerable, drawing onexperience from recent vulnerability studyconducted in India.

IMPACTS OF CC & SLR on FLOODING
CC will lead to uncertainity in rainfalls
- So, floodings will also be uncertain. Recurrence for 1998 flood (90 Yr Flood) is likelyto be reduced to 30 years in 2020s, and 15 yearsin 2050s.
Drainage congestion likely to be aggravated bySLR
Inundated areas will increase Frequency will increase.
So, increase in flood severity, on one hand,and faster urbanization due to in-migration,on the other, are great concern forcountries e.g., Bangladesh

Confronting CC risks for fast changing urbansettings is a challenging task
- however, we cannot reverse the situation.
- what can be done is to respond/adjust to situation.
Most important way of confronting the alarming situationis to obtain
- a better understanding of climate change & its
dynamics, which is linked to water/flood management.- to improve on knowledge of how natural hazardsmagnified by urbanisation & climate change can causehavoc to lives & property
this is crucial for taking calculated action, especially inthe context of
- land use planning, resilience-building, emergency
planning & management & reducing vulnerability

1. FLOOD LOSS TO
NON-AGRICULTURAL SECTOR
Flood loss to non-agri. sectors areenormous
In 2004 flood, non-
agri. sectorssuffered lossaccounting for74%, with 26%
suffered to agri.sector (crop + non-crop).
Similarly, 2007 Sidr :

2 . Flood Loss Assessment Methods Flood research - advanced-countries oriented
As in other developing countries, flood research inBdesh limited to appraisals - focusing on agri.
Bangladesh has serious lack of damage data& methodology for flood loss assessment.
As a result, loss assessment have been basedon arbitrary methods, e.g., in 2004 Flood,Estimate ranging from 10,000 crore to 42,000crore Taka.
Important to build knowledge & data networksTo enhance economic and social resilienceSo, it explores applicability of advanced countries-oriented methods for Bdesh

3. Flood Impacts Methods in UrbanBangladesh at Micro Level
2 Modelling Flood Impacts
Basic structure of modelling: Employs combinationof (1) unit-loss method (2) Cobb-Douglas model(3) multiple regression (4) input-output model (Fig4-6) for
1) direct loss 2) primary indirect loss & 3) multipliereffects.
Direct loss model
Direct loss model uses multiple regression by
dam. components (e.g. struct. Inventory, m/c &stock to estimate at disaggregated levels ofdepths/durations.
Model can use either absolute or proportional
damages.

Indirect Loss Model
Indirect loss model has 2 components:
(1) through Cobb-Douglas production function(2) Linkage Effects or Multiplier Effects through Input-output model.
Cobb-Douglas model is based on Cobb-Douglas prod.
function, which is of form: Qt = At Kt
Lt
Once function is estimated for before-flood situation,primary losses to output due to flood can be estimatedthrough imputing reduced capital & labour
This way STANDARD DEPTH DAMAGE DATA SETSARE CONSTRUCTED- Data sets used to carry outnational flood loss assessments in 1998, 2004

4.Vulnerability Analysis of Urban Sectors
Unit-loss Models
Unit-loss model, as widely used in USA/UK,involves, first, identify flood prone propertiesaccording to land uses, & estimate property floorheights. Through an interactive computer model(used in UK/USA; SPSS used in Bdesh/India)the model then employs standard potentialdepth-damage data & frequency analysis offlood levels, to estimate flood damage potentials
in an area under study for floods of variousmagnitudes

Thus, for any econ. orvulnerability analysis of anyfloodplain management, the
single most essential figure is theestimate of Expected AnnualDamage (EAD), which is theultimate output of the unit-lossmodel.

Unit-loss model is proved to be suitable invulnerability analysis in Bdesh/India
modeling regional impacts and therebyappraise urban protection schemes, throughuse of SPSS. Only recently, the model has
been applied to Indian state of Gujarat in 4cities (Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot &Vadodara)to 3.3 million urban properties to assessvulnerability analysis of various urban sectors(to prepare cities disaster plan, sponsored byWBank). The Model also going to be used forHo Chi Minh City soon.

Land use and height survey
The land use survey classifies properties intomajor sectors (e.g., residential, business,industry, office and roads), ideally, each havinga geo-reference as to the location of the
properties. Land use survey is followed by afloor height survey of individual properties, whichis of key importance to the precision of flooddamage assessments.

Area approach and valuation approach
Both area (carpet area) & valuation (value of
properties) approach can be adopted,depending on the data availability but the lateris ideal
Calculation of flood damages by return period
Empirical relationships (Damage data sets)are combined with the flood conditions, &with land use information & hazard intensityto arrive at vulnerability for each area or foreach broad sector for each of selected floods
(with different return periods).

Estimation of Expected Annual Damage (EAD)
Relationships bet. return period/flooddamages are converted into prob.
density functions & latter is integratedbetween various return periods. Ofcourse, one has to incorporate, as well,the future vulnerability, fragility andexposure into the assessment.

5. Interface of Flooding with Poverty
Empirical evidence shows that low-income occupants
are relatively more vulnerable to floods. Lower level of income higher percentage of damages to
their total asset values (Table 1). On average, poorest-type house suffers (in proportional
terms) 4, 5 & 3 times as much, compared to that suffered
by a richest-type house, in river, flash & tidal flood. Floods not only deepen poverty levels but also may help
widen income gap between rich & poor.
Another analysis shows that land poor HH (also lower
income categories) suffer higher inundation levels & arehence more exposed to flood risks.
An analysis on WFP data for 92 UZs shows a closepositive relationship between percentage of floodedareas & percentage of ultra people (r=0.33, p < 0.001).

6. Selected Adaptation Options Flood loss potentialsto roads & highwaysinfrastructure have
been huge.
- Protecting nearly 21,000 km of R & H is of primeimportance for national economy.- An analysis (DFID) shows that flood proofing of R & Hwould Pro Poor & economically efficient.- Best estimate of B-C ratio is found to be 1.7 (at12%)
- The option will also bring other socialbenefits (intangible),in terms of (1) saving human lives/livestock (2) use as refuge(3) damage saving of inventory (4) employment generation &poverty reduction, & (5) facilitation of movement of reliefgoods during flood emergencies.
Thesecond optionrelates to flood proofing of individualhomesteadsby means of constructing raised platforms- Again best estimate of B-C ratio is 1.9 (at 12%)- Besides, the option will crate additional employment,thereby contributing to poverty reduction (Fig 9).

7. Concluding Remarks It is high time to act now to avoid the very worst
impacts of climate change.
Important link exists between spatial planning/urbanplanning and Flood Risk, via land use, zoning violations,illegal economic activities, urbanization, loss of infiltration
capacity, reduced storage for flood waters, worsened by CC A comprehensive prior knowledge of the
dimension/magnitude of urban flood damage is crucial fortaking calculated action
Some floods in agricultural sector can be adjusted while
urban & non-agricultural flood losses are enormous. Hence,greater attention has to be given on urban flood hazard.

Floods not only deepen poverty levels but alsohelp widen income gap between rich & poor.
Distributional effects are important as, these arerelated to equity, which, in turn, is associatedwith sustainability of economic development.
Primary & long run indirect effects of floods onpoor need careful consideration whenformulating mitigation plans.

Many problems still to come Avoid multiplying the problems Avoid problems with new developments- Coordinated efforts in urban infrastructure devlpment,- Proper spatial planning, Zoning- Enforcement of land development regulations,
land conservation- No Space for Water, no space for people- Integrate Spatial planning with Water/Flood Mngement
IT IS TIME TO ACT BEFORE IT IS LATE
