Description
About the Book
Floods are natural disasters characterized by an overflow of water onto normally dry land. They can result from heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt, storm surges, or the breaching of dams or levees. Floods can cause extensive damage to infrastructure, homes, and agriculture, disrupt transportation, and even lead to loss of life. Additionally, they can trigger landslides and contaminate water sources, posing further risks to communities. Flood management strategies include early warning systems, construction of flood barriers and reservoirs, land-use planning, and disaster preparedness initiatives. Despite these measures, floods remain a significant global challenge, exacerbated by factors such as climate change and urbanization. Efforts to mitigate their impact are crucial for protecting lives and livelihoods in vulnerable regions. This book is meant to provide interesting topics for research which readers can take up. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.Book Synopsis
