Flood Problem and Management in South Asia focuses on both the
hazard and the vulnerability aspects of floods. This book addresses
floods in South Asia from a multidisciplinary approach. The
characteristics and nature of the flood problem and its management
aspects are examined. It is suggested that flood control and
management focused on structural solutions using embankments and
reservoirs are insufficient. Effective solutions must go beyond
structural measures and require major restructuring of both legal
systems and institutions responsible for management. For those
people living in the vast flood plains of South Asia to be able to
overcome social, economic and environmental vulnerabilities, an
adaptive approach to management of flood risks that identifies
specific strategies is needed.
