Description
An overflow of water which submerges land that is generally dry is known as a flood. This overflow can be from a number of water bodies such as lakes, rivers or oceans. It can also be caused from an excessive accumulation of rainwater. The impact of floods can vary, from a neighborhood or community getting affected to an entire river basin. Some of the many ways of mitigating the adverse effects of floods are forecasting, mapping and analyzing hydraulic models. Flood forecasting is a process which is involved in the prediction and estimation of the duration, magnitude and timing of flooding. Its primary aim is to prevent and reduce damage to human life, environment and property. The topics included in this book on floods and their mitigation are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
