Oral: PDFAbstractTrends and implications
- It is impossible to entirely eliminate the risk from flooding: accepted risk.
- Every flood risk scenario is different: there is no flood management blueprint.
- Designs for flood management must be able to cope with a changing and uncertain
future.
- An integrated strategy requires the use of both structural and non-structural measures: diverse strategies.
- Tradeoff : good metrics for “getting the balance right”for sustainable development.
