Spatial Flood Risk Management is a groundbreaking approach that centers the role of land and landowners in managing flood risks. By bringing together expertise from diverse fields such as socio-economy, public policy, hydrology, geomorphology, and engineering, this book establishes an interdisciplinary knowledge base on spatial approaches to flood risk management.
The book discusses key barriers to flood risk management and shares evidence-based best practices to address these challenges. International contributors involved in the LAND4FLOOD EU COST Action initiative (CA16209) aim to find transferrable solutions to the implementation challenges of nature-based solutions.
The book introduces the concept of spatial flood risk management, examining land through three analytical lenses: as a biophysical system, a socio-economic resource, and a solution to flood-risk management. It advocates for a more comprehensive approach that explores options for storing water within catchments, including decentralized water retention in the hinterland, flood storage along rivers, and planned flooding in resilient cities.
By bringing together the existing knowledge on the relation between flood risk management and land with an international and interdisciplinary scope, this book is invaluable to academics, policy makers, public authorities, urban planners, and governing environmental bodies. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the spatial dimensions of flood risk management and offers practical insights for developing effective strategies and policies.
