Integrated Flood Risk Management in Asia: A Primer

This Primer on Integrated Flood Risk Management in Asia is intended to gather
together ans thereby share the advances in knowledge and experience gained
in flood risk management since 1990. There is a gradual shift away from dealing
with floods as a stand-alone or one-off event to managing it as part of an integrated
water system within a watershed. Current research and literature, partnerships
and collaborations, and formation of networks reflect this integrated approach.
However, the region lacks a comprehensive resource and reference document
for practitioners and professionals, which addresses the complexity of the flood
environment in Asia.
