Flood Damage Assessment and Management
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-50052-8 (ISBN)
This book presents state-of-the-art, essential methods and tools for flood risk assessment and management. The costs of damage caused by extreme weather events, among which floods are a major category, are rapidly rising, both globally and across Europe. The scope and scale of flood episodes point to the need for comprehensive proposals, including the implementation of flood protection measures in areas exposed to flood risk.
This book is dedicated to flood damage assessment, and addresses the management of social, economic and environmental damage. It develops a general methodology for flood risk assessment and presents a range of effective flood protection methods in keeping with the objectives of flood risk management. As such, it offers a valuable resource for young researchers, academics, lecturers and water management practitioners alike.
Martina Zelenáková is associated professor in the field of environmental engineering at the Institute of Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Kosice, Slovakia. In the framework of her scientific-research activities she has focused on solution of water management problems, rainwater management, environmental impacts assessment and separately on the assessment of environmental risks in river basins in relation to flood events, drought and water pollution.
