Policy Implications
Urban flooding is becoming more dangerous and more costly to manage. Repeating past mistakes can have disastrous consequences for the present and the future. Policy makers require a clear vision of the alternatives and the methods and tools to assist them in making the right choices.
A concerted effort needs to be made today to promote Integrated Flood Risk Management!
Multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral approach. Comprehensive, locally specific, integrated, and balanced measures across all involved sectors. Robust solutions can contribute to flood risk reduction, at the same time creating opportunities to promote better and more sustainable urban development.
Guiding Principles
1. Every flood risk scenario is different: there is no flood management blueprint. 2. Designs for flood management must be able to cope with a changing and uncertain future. 3. Rapid urbanization requires the integration of flood risk management into regular urban planning and governance. 4. An integrated strategy requires the use of both structural and non-structural measures and good metrics for getting the balance right. 5. Heavily engineered structural measures can transfer risk upstream and downstream.
Asset Management
(building is easy maintaining is not)
The systematic and structured combination of management, financial, economic and engineering practices to plan for the creation or acquisition, maintenance, operation, replacement and disposal of physical assets necessary to provide an agreed level of service in the most cost effective and sustainable manner.
