Book Synopsis Floodplain Management by : Bob Freitag
Download or read book Floodplain Management written by Bob Freitag and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-06-22 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A flooding river is very hard to stop. Many residents of the United States have discovered this the hard way. Right now, over five million Americans hold flood insurance policies from the National Flood Insurance Program, which estimates that flooding causes at least six billion dollars in damages every year. Like rivers after a rainstorm, the financial costs are rising along with the toll on residents. And the worst is probably yet to come. Most scientists believe that global climate change will result in increases in flooding. The authors of this book present a straightforward argument: the time to stop a flooding rivers is before is before it floods. Floodplain Management outlines a new paradigm for flood management, one that emphasizes cost-effective, long-term success by integrating physical, chemical, and biological systems with our societal capabilities. It describes our present flood management practices, which are often based on dam or levee projects that do not incorporate the latest understandings about river processes. And it suggests that a better solution is to work with the natural tendencies of the river: retreat from the floodplain by preventing future development (and sometimes even removing existing structures); accommodate the effects of floodwaters with building practices; and protect assets with nonstructural measures if possible, and with large structural projects only if absolutely necessary.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past several years, severe flooding problems have drastically affected many parts of the country. In response, the Federal government has been working to improve its floodplain management -- both to reduce the loss of life and property caused by floods, and to restore the natural resource and functions of floodplains. Part of improving floodplain management has involved a shift in focus. Traditional floodplain management often has stressed structural alterations to the natural environment as the best means of protecting property and human lives. In recent years, however, there has been a shift away from this tradition, toward considering non-structural alternatives as effective floodplain management strategies. The key characteristic of a non-structural approach is that it modifies susceptibility to flooding, as opposed to simply attempting to control flooding through structural methods such as dams, levees and channels. However, non-structural approaches may include use of some structural elements. The goal of this handbook is to provide information to local cooperators and other interested parties about Federal programs that support a non-structural approach to floodplain management. Included are broad strategies and specific Federal programs that could form the basis for a non-structural response to a flood event. Programs are grouped by three primary non- structural strategies: (1) Acquisition, relocation, elevation, and floodproofing of existing structures. (2) Rural land easements and acquisitions; and (3) Restoration of wetlands Individual programs may provide assistance for more than one strategy.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defence from Floods and Floodplain Management discusses all aspects of floodplain management related to defence from floods, including specific issues such as the maintenance of flood defences, and reveals many aspects of a more holistic approach to the management of flood risk, expanding the structural/non-structural debate into prevention and cure in the floodplain and its catchment. Recent experience in many countries is recounted by experts from Hungary, Austria, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, the UK and the USA.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research presents a computer-based scheme for evaluating land use and engineering alternatives for flood plain management and includes a test application. The management alternatives considered in the report include spatial and temporal distribution of urban land uses, site elevation through dirt fill, flood proofing, open space, public land acquisition and engineering measures. A linear programming approach is employed for the study. (Modified author abstract).
