Description

Extreme floods cause massive damage to floodplains, often exceeding the protection provided by levees. This book addresses the urgent need for spatial planning that allows for water retention in these vulnerable areas. While land use planners, water management agencies, landowners, and policymakers all recognize this challenge, current attempts to create space for river retention often fail to reach their goals. Clumsy Floodplains offers an innovative interdisciplinary approach to understanding how society can manage river floodplains during extreme weather events. It examines the relationship between land policy and flood management, providing a deep look into why current methods struggle and how more effective strategies might be developed. This text is a vital resource for those working in water management, urban planning, and environmental policy who seek to understand the complexities of managing land use in high-risk flood zones.
