We’ve compiled basic information about biological, physical, and other natural and social systems that affect floodplains. In addition, each chapter contains a case history to illustrate lessons learned about floodplain management. We hope you enjoy and benefit from it.
This subject is constantly evolving because of changes in our natural and social environments. Our book raises many questions and we invite you visit our web site at www.floodsnewapproaches.com and share case studies or projects that help advance the practice of floodplain management.
Thank you, Bob Freitag, Susan Bolton, Frank Westerlund and Julie Clark
