Designing Water Disaster Management Policies
Author: Chennat GopalakrishnanPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317396324
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
This book represents a landmark effort to probe and analyze the theory and empirics of designing water disaster management policies. It consists of seven chapters that examine, in-depth and comprehensively, issues that are central to crafting effective policies for water disaster management. The author uses historical surveys, institutional analysis, econometric investigations, empirical case studies, and conceptual-theoretical discussions to clarify and illuminate the complex policy process. The specific topics studied in this book include a review and analysis of key policy areas and research priority areas associated with water disaster management, community participation in disaster risk reduction, the economics and politics of ‘Green’ flood control, probabilistic flood forecasting for flood risk management, polycentric governance and flood risk management, drought management with the aid of dynamic inter-generational preferences, and how social resilience can inform SA/SIA for adaptive planning for climate change in vulnerable areas. A unique feature of this book is its analysis of the causes and consequences of water disasters and efforts to address them successfully through policy-rich, cross-disciplinary and transnational papers. This book is designed to help enrich the sparse discourse on water disaster management policies and galvanize water professionals to craft creative solutions to tackle water disasters efficiently, equitably, and sustainably. This book should also be of considerable use to disaster management professionals, in general, and natural resource policy analysts. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Natural Resource Policy Research.

Book Description
The goal of this study was to research and discuss methodologies to quantify in economic terms the costs and benefits of natural valley storage as a means of reducing future flood damages. Natural valley storage consist of wetlands and floodplains which provide significant floodwater retention. The report accomplished the following: (1) provided a review of Corps flood control projects in New England; (2) described the physical characteristics of natural valley storage; (3) summarized the Corps' Charles River Natural Valley Storage project; (4) described costs and benefits of natural valley storage; and (5) conducted a case study using the Nashua River as an example. Natural valley storage areas not only provide a non-structural means of flood control but recreational opportunities often abound in these areas in the form of fishing, hunting, hiking. This report recommends that a preliminary screening effort be conducted to identify significant natural valley storage areas within Massachusetts. The results of the study identified a lack of transferable information regarding the relationship between water quality and groundwater recharge and the preservation of natural valley storage. Without an understanding of this relationship in the Northeast, a benefit calculation is impossible.
