Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book reviews available multidisciplinary knowledge on flood risk and includes both hydrological and hydraulic science and other disciplines such as economics and human and geographical sciences. This integrated approach contextualizes current conclusions on the eventual effects of climate change by showing that human factors are of paramount importance in understanding the process of risk production. |
