Clumsy Floodplains

Meer over het boek

The book introduces an innovative concept called Large Areas for Temporary Emergency Retention (LATER) to address the challenges posed by extreme floods in floodplains. It critiques the limitations of traditional levee systems and emphasizes the need for effective spatial planning that allows for water retention. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, it explores the potential of 'Clumsy Floodplains' as a viable alternative for flood management, aiming to enhance resilience against flood damage.
