It also examines the effects likely to occur during and after the construction of the Dam and the effects that might occur if changes in water pricing policies were made, if floodway clearance and flood plain management policies in the urbanised areas were introduced and if a different cost allocation method to the one adopted was used." - ix.

Book A River with a City Problem

Download or read book A River with a City Problem written by Margaret Cook and published by Univ. of Queensland Press. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When floods devastated South East Queensland in 2011, who was to blame? Despite the inherent risk of living on a floodplain, most residents had pinned their hopes on Wivenhoe Dam to protect them, and when it failed to do so, dam operators were blamed for the scale of the catastrophic events that followed. A River with a City Problem is a compelling history of floods in the Brisbane River catchment, especially those in 1893, 1974 and 2011. Extensively researched, it highlights the force of nature, the vagaries of politics and the power of community. With many river cities facing urban development challenges, Cook makes a convincing argument for what must change to prevent further tragedy.

Book Climate Adaptation Policy and Evidence

Download or read book Climate Adaptation Policy and Evidence written by Peter Tangney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence-based policymaking is often promoted within liberal democracies as the best means for government to balance political values with technical considerations. Under the evidence-based mandate, both experts and non-experts often assume that policy problems are sufficiently tractable and that experts can provide impartial and usable advice to government so that problems like climate change adaptation can be effectively addressed; at least, where there is political will to do so. This book compares the politics and science informing climate adaptation policy in Australia and the UK to understand how realistic these expectations are in practice. At a time when both academics and practitioners have repeatedly called for more and better science to anticipate climate change impacts and, thereby, to effectively adapt, this book explains why a dearth of useful expert evidence about future climate is not the most pressing problem. Even when it is sufficiently credible and relevant for decision-making, climate science is often ignored or politicised to ensure the evidence-based mandate is coherent with prevailing political, economic and epistemic ideals. There are other types of policy knowledge too that are, arguably, much more important. This comparative analysis reveals what the politics of climate change mean for both the development of useful evidence and for the practice of evidence-based policymaking.
