The COST22 Urban Flood Management initiative have presented
it's book 'Advances in Urban Flood Management'  | | Global climate change is increasing the variability of extreme flood events and cyclones. Current measures to mitigate flood impacts specifically for urban environments no longer provide optimal solutions for previously planned flood risk intervals. Being prepared for uncertain changes and extreme flood events requires a paradigm shift in current strategies to avoid and manage flood disasters. A major rethink of current planning and flood management policies and practices on different spatial and temporal scales is required to reverse the trend of increasing impacts of urban floods. This book aims to address a broad spectrum of relevant issues in this emerging field of urban flood management by highlighting and analyzing the state of the art and best practices. It is expected that this book will not only encourage further relevant research and development in urban flood management, but also help to inform and engage stakeholders in promoting integrated and cooperative approaches in water management in general. |
