Flood Risk

Flood Risk is a probabilistic assessment of the likelihood and potential consequences of excessive water accumulation in tunnel environments due to natural or anthropogenic hydrological events, distinguishing it from related environmental risks by its specific focus on inundation scenarios that compromise structural integrity, operational safety, and human life in subsurface transportation systems.
