Among the natural catastrophes, flood events are world-wide of outstanding
importance, representing 32 % of the damaging events, 31 % of the economic
damage and 55 % of the casualties (1986-1995). The origins, effects and control of
flood events are described by 130 international authors in the three-part book "River
Flood Defence".
The book includes the sections History of Flood Protection, Hydrologic Data and
Precipitation, Precipitation-Runoff models, Pollutants and Pathogens in flood, Flood
Risks, New Developments in Flood Protection, INTERREG II C Rhine Maas Activities
(IRMA), Worldwide Projects of the World Exhibition in Hanover (EXPO), and posters
and reports on the conference and field trips.
The book provides a description of the status of the research and the technology, it
gives hints for new developments and research requirements, and it shows examples
of planning and practice. The contributions and discussion results of the Workshops
"Pollutants and Pathogens in flood" are emphasised, as well as the description and
evaluation of the IRMA and EXPO projects.
River Flood Defence is equally suitable for teaching and research, as well as for
water resources management practice in administrations, federations and consulting
companies.
