Flood risk assessment and flood risk management; An introduction and guidance based on experiences and findings of FLOODsite

In this volume, we open some windows on the scientific progress FLOODsite has achieved in this respect, by summarizing the main findings and by giving links for further reading. The main goal of this volume is, however, to share FLOODsite’s view on what a comprehensive approach to flood risk assessment and management is, and what it ought to encompass. We do so by drafting the whole picture in a relatively concise text, whereas some more detail is given in text boxes. We are aware that we thus, obviously, do insufficient justice to all the scientific progress made within FLOODsite, but we wanted to restrict ourselves to the essence of what the research has concluded.
