In 1997 disastrous flooding running through the Czech Republic,
Poland, Germany took the lives of a great number of people and
caused economic damage estimated in tens of billions of dollars.
Flooding of the Yangtze river in 1998 killed more than 3000 people,
dislocated 230 million souls, and caused direct damage of more than
$ 45 billion. Both the general public and the experts are asking
what we can learn from these recent events to reduce loss of life
and flood damage. The 1997 floods were dealt with by experts from
the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany, who presented timely
reports on combatting floods, both success stories and
shortcomings. This experience is further extended by reports from
experts drawn from 13 other countries, developing a broad overview
of flood risk management, covering the ecosystem approach to flood
management, including socioeconomic issues, flood impacts on water
quality, human health, and natural ecosystems.
