Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Design for Flood Management in Mozambique
Year: 2000
Type: article
Abstract: Climate change is exacerbating flood risks in Mozambique, necessitating innovative infrastructure solutions for effective flood management. A hybrid system dynamics and agent-based modelling approach was employed to simulate future flood scenarios and evaluate proposed infrastructure designs. The simulations suggest that implementing early warning systems could reduce peak water levels by 15% in critical areas, highlighting the potential of technology integration for enhanced resilience. This study underscores the importance of integrating climate-resilient infrastructure into flood management strategies to protect vulnerable communities and ecosystems from increasingly severe floods. Immediate implementation of early warning systems should be prioritised based on model outputs as a first step towards climate-resilient flood management in Mozambique.
