This comprehensive manual provides extensive information on the types of revetment available and provides guidance on the choice and design of these systems. With regard to natural and artificial watercourses information is included on revetments that incorporate some form of structural protection and revetments which combine this protection with vegetation to increase the environmental quality of the systems. Extensive use of photographs, flowcharts and diagrams allow the engineer to choose the most appropriate type of revetment and the most cost-effective design.

ICE Themes Flood Resilience provides an overview of research and latest developments in the field of flood management. The book collates innovative ideas, methodologies and practical approaches which address engineering challenges during various stages of flooding, from assessment of vulnerability, implementation of protective measures, through to management of extreme events in order to promote faster recovery after a flood. It also seeks to highlight the benefit of working collaboratively with a variety of partners, and engagement with the public. This book has been created from recent research published by ICE Publishing and aims to provide readers with an overall view of the areas where flood resilience approaches are relevant, as well as a snapshot of the advances in research and practice. This book, which has been compiled by two leading experts in the field, will be an?ideal?addition to any library as a?resource for researchers and students seeking an overview of the latest research on this topic.
