Beschreibung
This pioneering book addresses the entirety of river flooding issues in the Upper Vistula Basin, where considerable flood generation potential exists. It analyses the factors influencing flood risk, investigates variations in observation records and discusses projections for the future and adaptation to changing risk. It serves the general interest in understanding the floods that cause massive destruction in Europe, with dozens of fatalities and tremendous material damages. This interdisciplinary book, which covers aspects of climatology, geomorphology, hydrology, and water and flood risk management, unveils the complexity of the current situation. Access to reliable and accurate information can help solve important practical problems related to flood risk reduction strategies, and is at the core of the EU Floods Directive. As such, the book offers a valuable resource for scientists, educators and practitioners involved in water management, natural disaster reduction and adaptationto climate change.

“I enjoyed reading Flood Risk in the Upper Vistula Basin. … the editors made a strong effort to organize the 4 major sections into coherent themes that cover a range of flood-relevant issues. … There is also a comprehensive and well-written introduction to the region, describing its history, culture, and geography. … The availability of this book in English will enable comparative studies with floods in other mountainous regions.” (Witold Krajewski, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 37 (4), November, 2017)
