FLOODS PHYSICAL PROCESSES AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ON HUMAN
This study focusses on the causes and consequences of river and coastal floods, as well as how people can respond to the flood hazard. Individual chapters cover topics such as floods as natural hazards
the impacts and interpretations of flood hazards, the causes, spatial characteristics, and forms of river and coastal floods, flood estimation, flood defence, flood forecasting and warning, other responses such as land use planning and insurance, and a final discussion of problems, policies, and prospects.
Floods is written by two experienced and successful authors who combine their respective skills to provide a broad, comprehensive, and up-to-date coverage of the subject that can be used not only as a textbook or learning manual, but also as an authoritative reference source.
This was accomplished by arranging and structuring the content to highlight the continuity and links between the causes and consequences of flooding, as well as the numerous potential responses to the flood hazard.
At the same time, the book ensures that, to the greatest extent possible, each of the major concepts and issues are discussed independently.
The book is timely in many ways. It covers the topicality and universality of floods, which are becoming a more common threat as the world’s climate, land use, and people distribution change.
It also provides laypeople and practitioners with a synthesis and clarification of numerous individual research projects as the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction comes to a close.
