Floods are of increasing public concern world-wide due to
increasing damages and unacceptably high numbers of injuries.
Previous approaches of flood protection led to limited success
especially during recent extreme events. Therefore, an integrated
flood risk management is required which takes into consideration
both the hydrometeorogical and the societal processes. Moreover,
real effects of risk mitigation measures have to be critically
assessed. The book draws a comprehensive picture of all these
aspects and their interrelations. It furthermore provides a lot of
detail on earth observation, flood hazard modelling, climate
change, flood forecasting, modelling vulnerability, mitigation
measures and the various dimensions of management strategies. In
addition to local and regional results of science, engineering and
social science investigations on modelling and management,
transboundary co-operation of large river catchments are of
interest. Based on this, the book is a valuable source of the state
of the art in flood risk management but also covers future demands
for research and practice in terms of flood issues.
