Dam engineering is currently experiencing a strong revival of labyrinth oriented weirs.

Primarily written as course material on flood control and drainage engineering for advanced students of civil engineering, this new fourth edition is again thoroughly revised.

Recent advances in technology have permitted the construction of large dams, reservoirs and channels.

In some important respects floodplain management and flood hazard research is different in Britain from that in other countries.

Breakwaters and closure dams belong to the most spectacular hydraulic structures.

Design criteria for the construction or rehabilitation of dams and hydraulic structures generally begin with a section defining the design flood.

This book tackles the question of how we can manage flood-related disaster risks, such as from typhoons, monsoons, and torrential rain, which have been intensified by climate change and have generated unprecedented floods, landslides and debris flows worldwide.

Floods are difficult to prevent but can be managed in order to reduce their environmental, social, cultural, and economic impacts.

Floods are amongst the most common and devastating natural disasters.

The United States has one of the largest and costliest flood control systems in the world, even though only a small proportion of its land lies in floodplains.

The latest cutting-edge research on flood pulsing and wetland restoration in North America Presenting the latest research from leaders in the field of restoration ecology, Flood Pulsing in Wetlands reflects the current movement to incorporate flood pulsing into wetland restoration efforts.

As cities grow and climates change, precipitation increases, and with every great storm-from record-breaking Boston blizzards to floods in Houston-come buckets of stormwater and a deluge of problems.

Excess water in the urban environment results in flooding,which causes structural damage, risks to personal safety and disruption to city life.

Dam and levee remediation has become more prevalent since the start of the twenty-first century.

Labyrinth spillways are almost as old as dam engineering.

This is the 2nd edition of one of the most comprehensive accounts of debris flow, describing both theoretical and applied aspects.

In the past thirty years, knowledge on flooding has greatly increased by moving away from purely hydrological and hydraulic science and opening up to other disciplines such as economics or human and geographical sciences.

Recurring and worsening flood incidence around the world has necessitated the understanding and strengthening of community-based flood risk management from an international perspective.
