The project aims to develop a unified approach to quantifying flood risk. Because flooding is caused by multiple mechanisms such as extreme rainfall, storm surge and astronomical tide, accurately estimating flood levels in the Australian coastal zone is challenging. By quantifying flood risk in terms of these mechanisms, the project is expected to provide reliable flood risk estimates for both historical settings and future climate scenarios. The improved estimation should enable Australian water agencies and policy-makers to effectively design defence infrastructure (e.g. drainage systems) and urban planning policies to adapt to future flood risk.

该项目旨在制定一个统一的方法来量化洪水风险。由于洪水是由极端降雨、风暴潮和天文潮汐等多种机制引起的，因此准确估计澳大利亚沿海地区的洪水水位具有挑战性。通过量化这些机制的洪水风险，该项目预计将提供可靠的洪水风险估计的历史背景和未来的气候情景。改进后的估算应使澳大利亚水务机构和决策者能够有效地设计防御基础设施（如排水系统）和城市规划政策，以适应未来的洪水风险。
