Description - Floodplain Management by Bob Freitag
The authors of this book present a straightforward argument: the time to stop flooding rivers is before is before it floods. Floodplain Management outlines a new paradigm for flood management, one that emphasises 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.
