Flooding of  the Yangtze river in 1998 killed more than 3000 people, dislocated 230  million souls, and caused direct damage of more than $ 45 billion.  Both the general public and the experts are asking what we can learn  from these recent events to reduce loss of life and flood damage. \u003cbr\u003e  The 1997 floods were dealt with by experts from the Czech Republic,  Poland and Germany, who presented timely reports on combatting floods,  both success stories and shortcomings. This experience is further  extended by reports from experts drawn from 13 other countries,  developing a broad overview of flood risk management, covering the  ecosystem approach to flood management, including socioeconomic  issues, flood impacts on water quality, human health, and natural  ecosystems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792364511\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4140-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 432\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265545457804,"sku":"9780792364511","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792364511.jpg?v=1770782939","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792364511","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
