Flood damages are increasing as a result of frequent occurrence of
large floods in many parts of the world, existing and continuing
encroachment of development onto flood plains and aging flood
protection structures. Under such circumstances, there is an
ongoing search for better ways of protecting human life, land,
property and the environment by improved flood management. Many
flood management measures have been practiced in various
jurisdictions, including living with floods, non-structural
measures (e.g. regulations, flood defence by flood forecasting and
warning, evacuations, and flood insurance), and structural measures
(e.g., land drainage modifications, reservoirs, dykes and polders).
Such flood management is difficult in river basins controlled by a
single authority, and becomes even more challenging when dealing
with transboundary floods, which may originate in one country or
jurisdiction and then propagate downstream to another country, or
jurisdiction.
