It is hoped that this publication will benefit academics, researchers, planners, scientists, engineers, policy and program advocates, decision makers, and the general reader. As many will agree, flooding is one phenomenon which has been progressively dominated by human influence. The human factors are population growth (settlements in flood-prone area), urbanization factors (loss of permeable open space, encroachment of natural waterways, increase of impervious surfaces), and the effects of infrastructure (design criteria and know-how of the technical people, and the realized effects of the constructed structure on the flooding process itself). This about makes everybody a flood-causing agent as well as a potential flood-mitigating person.
