Ed; Zeman, Evzen; Sieker, Heiko\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotwithstanding 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. \u003cbr\u003e  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. \u003cbr\u003e  Future planning of flood management should be based on a clear  understanding of the effectiveness interventions and their impacts on  river catchment ecosystems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402001536\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0532-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 319\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265489817740,"sku":"9781402001536","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402001536.jpg?v=1770780378","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402001536","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
