The conference drew European engineers, scientists, and other
professionals involved in improving the repair, reinstatement, and
resilience of flood damaged property. The 32 papers consider such topics
as whether basin morphology alone can illuminate floodplain delineation,
flood management in the low lands, flood defense in Indonesia's
Bekasi City, the industrialization of British flood damage repairs,
urban flood control policy for sustainability under global warming in
Japan, and the experience of British floodplain residents with flood
insurance. There is no subject index. The US office of WIT Press is
Computational Mechanics.
