内容説明
This volume clarifies and synthesizes the issues surrounding floodplain management and describes the nature of flooding, its causes, and its importance in ecosystem cycling. Floods are of great interest during periods of intense flooding, but floodplain management is not well-practiced and attempts at such management are often a source of both social conflict and harmful ecological effects. When economic and ecologic concerns collide, effective floodplain management requires that these conflicts be resolved. The text sheds light on the reasons behind these conflicts and points to solutions. This volume reviews the historical development of floodplain management policy and presents scenarios that future floodplain management may follow.
