Integrated Flood Risk Management (IFRM) is a global approach to addressing the increasing threat of flooding, combining structural and non-structural measures to reduce risks. This strategy involves the integration of advanced engineering solutions, such as dams and flood barriers with sustainable land use planning and ecosystem restoration. Effective IFRM requires accurate data collection and modeling to predict flood patterns, enabling proactive measures like early warning systems and community awareness programs. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of engaging local communities, governments and experts to develop and implement customized solutions. By incorporating nature-based solutions, such as wetlands restoration and green infrastructure, IFRM not only reduces flood risks but also enhances biodiversity and water quality. This thorough approach ensures a balanced response to flooding, safeguarding lives, property and the environment while promoting resilience and adaptive capacity in the face of climate change. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of Integrated Flood Risk Management. From theories to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included herein. This book will help students by foregrounding their knowledge in this branch.
