This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notwithstanding past achievements, flood damage continues to rise throughout the world as the magnitudes of floods increase, partly as a result of poor land management and partly by climate change, growing populations and continuing development in flood-prone areas, and the aging and deterioration of flood defences. One of the major goals of water management is the protection of society from floods. That issue is addressed here in terms of such broad issues as flood analysis, flood impact, non-structural and structural flood management measures. Non-structural measures focus on flood plain management, flood insurance, flood forecasting and warning, and emergency measures during floods. Structural measures focus on catchment management, embankments and flood reservoirs. Post-flood measures are also discussed. Future planning of flood management should be based on a clear understanding of the effectiveness interventions and their impacts on river catchment ecosystems.

This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated river basin management is an approach focusing on the development and management of land and water resources in a coordinated manner with the primary aim to ensure society development, which is well balanced from the environmental, economic, and social points of view. It is a complex approach, including all aspects of water resource management (water and aquatic ecosystem protection, disaster management, and water use) and covering a wide range of disciplines (e.g., hydrology, ecology, environmental management, and economy), cross-cutting issues (climate change, data sharing, and stakeholder involvement), and approaches (river basin management plans preparation, water-food-energy-ecosystems nexus assessment, science-policy integration, and transboundary cooperation). This book provides a comprehensive overview of achievements and challenges associated with the implementation of the approach throughout the world.

Download or read book From Flood Control to Integrated Water Resource Management written by James P. Kahan and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loss of life and devastation in the Gulf coast region of the United States following the hurricane season of 2005 has led to considerable debate about what should be done and not done in recovering from the damage and mitigating the consequences of future floods. this document reports the experiences of four major floods since 1948 (two in the United States, one in the Netherlands, and one in China), to draw lessons for the Gulf coast restoration effort. The authors conclude that (1) attending to history leads to mitigating the potential damage of floods even when major floods are few and far between; (2) the critical concept of integrated water resource management policy -- particularly its implication that flood damage control includes conceding land to the water from time to time -- is necessary but may be difficult to accept; (3) delineating roles and responsibilities clearly in advance produces better outcomes; and (4) out of disaster can come improvements to the social and physical infrastructure that go beyond flood protection.

Book excerpt: From Wolfenbüttel to Curry’s Rest explores the importance of understanding why things happen as they do, finding ways of helping others, and developing skills that can improve everyday situations. It is a story of survival and resilience, beginning when John is a young Jewish boy in Germany before WWII and having to flee for England when a teenager. There, he hits the ground running and takes on any job open to him, learning what he can before moving on to the next opportunity. Graduating from the London School of Economics and University College London, he begins his career as a city planner, landing projects that take him to Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia, India, and Israel throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, all the while enjoying a successful marriage and a loving family life. When he retires, he and his wife buy and restore a former sugar mill in Dominica called Curry’s Rest.
