Worldwide, there has been a move from a strategy of flood defence to one of flood risk management. Flood risk management includes flood prevention using hard defences, where appropriate, but also requires that society learns to live with floods and that stakeholders living in flood prone areas develop coping strategies to increase their resilience to flood impacts when these occur. This change in approach represents a paradigm shift which stems from the realisation that coFlood controlFlood damage preventionRisk assessmentFlood control.Flood damage prevention.Risk assessment.627/.4Pender G(Garry)1756931MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910877888403321Flood risk science and management4194535UNINA
