Notwithstanding 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. 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. Future planning of flood
management should be based on a clear understanding of the
effectiveness interventions and their impacts on river catchment
ecosystems.
