Floodplain Management : A New Approach for a New Era
ISBN: 9781597266352 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. 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:...

Modelling Floodplain Biogeomorphology
ISBN: 9789040725838 / Angielski / Miękka / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There is an increasing awareness that rivers need more room in order to safeguard flood safety under climate change conditions. Contemporary river management is creating room in the floodplains and allowing, within certain bounds, natural processes of sedimentation and erosion. One of the aims is to restore dynamic conditions, so as to get a sustainable and more diverse river ecosystem that can cope with floods. This new approach requires understanding of the interaction between the biotic and abiotic components of river systems. More specifically, it requires a better understanding of the...

Flood Recovery, Innovation and Response
ISBN: 9781845641320 / Angielski / Twarda / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Flooding is a global phenomenon that each year claims around 25,000 lives worldwide. Additionally, many more people must endure the homelessness, disease and crop failures that are left in the wake of the floods. The increased frequency of flooding in the last ten years, coupled with climate change predictions and urban development, suggest that these statistics are set to worsen in future. Apart from the physical damage to buildings, contents and loss of life, which are the most obvious impacts of floods upon households, other more indirect losses, are often overlooked. These intangible...

Clumsy Floodplains : Responsive Land Policy for Extreme Floods
ISBN: 9781409418450 / Angielski / Twarda / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Extreme floods cause enormous damage in floodplains, which levees cannot prevent. Therefore, it is vital for spatial planning to provide space for water retention in these areas. Land use planners, water management agencies, landowners, and policymakers all agree on this challenge, but attempts to make the space for rivers to provide retention are generally not very successful. Adopting an innovative interdisciplinary approach, this book examines how society can manage the use of the floodplains along rivers in the face of extreme floods, focusing in particular on the relation between social...
