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.

Alberta Environment and published by Alberta Environment. This book was released on 1990 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to evaluate, at a feasibility level, all non-structural methods for reducing flood damages in the Pembina River Valley and to recommend the most feasible methods for more in-depth evaluation in Phase II, the preliminary evaluation. This report contains a summary of the findings of the various investigations undertaken in fulfilment of the study objectives. It contains a contextual summary and details relevant information for the area, flooding history, flood damages and flood risk. It also examines non-structural measures; presents a detailed analysis of the alternatives selected for application within the flood study; and also provides an evaluation of these alternatives with respect to a set of criteria which considered both commensurable and noncommensurable aspects. Recommendations are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floods cause distress and damage wherever and whenever they happen. Flooding from rivers, estuaries and the sea threatens many millions of people worldwide and economic and insurance losses from flooding have increased significantly since 1990. Based on the work of leading researchers, this book provides an overview of advances in this important subject. It covers all aspects of flood risk including the causes of floods; their impacts on people, property and the environment; and portfolios of risk management measurement. Additional topics include climate change, estimation of extremes, flash floods, flood forecasting and warning, inundation modeling, systems analysis, uncertainty, international programs, and flood defense infrastructure and assets. The book also examines environmental, human, and social impacts; vulnerability and resilience; risk sharing; and civil contingency planning and emergency management.
