This book represents a landmark effort to probe and analyze the
theory and empirics of designing water disaster management
policies. It consists of seven chapters that examine, in-depth and
comprehensively, issues that are central to crafting effective
policies for water disaster management. The authors use historical
surveys, institutional analysis, econometric investigations,
empirical case studies, and conceptual-theoretical discussions to
clarify and illuminate the complex policy process. The specific
topics studied in this book include a review and analysis of key
policy areas and research priority areas associated with water
disaster management, community participation in disaster risk
reduction, the economics and politics of 'green' flood control,
probabilistic flood forecasting for flood risk management,
polycentric governance and flood risk management, drought
management with the aid of dynamic inter-generational preferences,
and how social resilience can inform SA/SIA for adaptive planning
for climate change in vulnerable areas. A unique feature of this
book is its analysis of the causes and consequences of water
disasters and efforts to address them successfully through
policy-rich, cross-disciplinary and transnational papers. This book
is designed to help enrich the sparse discourse on water disaster
management policies and galvanize water professionals to craft
creative solutions to tackle water disasters efficiently,
equitably, and sustainably. This book should also be of
considerable use to disaster management professionals, in general,
and natural resource policy analysts. This book was published as a
special issue of the Journal of Natural Resource Policy Research.
