Flood Risk Management brings together knowledge from socio-economy,
public policy, hydrology, geomorphology, and engineering to
establish an interdisciplinary knowledge base on spatial approaches
to managing flood risks. Discussing key barriers and sharing
evidence-based best practices to flood risk management,
international contributors involved in the LAND4FLOOD EU COST
Action initiative (CA16209) seek transferrable solutions to the
implementation challenges of nature-based solutions. Introducing
the concept of spatial flood risk management, the multi-national
teams of authors consider the notion of land through three
analytical lenses: as a biophysical system, a socio-economic
resource, and a solution to flood-risk management. Advocating for a
more comprehensive approach, the book explores options of where and
how to store water within catchments, including decentralized water
retention in the hinterland, flood storage along rivers, and
planned flooding in resilient cities. Bringing together the
existing knowledge on the relation between flood risk management
and land with an international and interdisciplinary scope, this
book will prove invaluable to academics, policy makers and public
authorities involved in flood risk management, urban planners, and
governing environmental bodies.
