Systematization of Flood Control Measures
A general review is given of trends in flood control, as seen by the writer. Five significant areas in systematization of flood control measures are: prediction; prevention; flood-plain proofing; physical measures of flood control (divided into extensive and intensive); and flood insurance. The extensive physical measures are divided into eight groups: levees and dikes; release basins; reservoirs; increased channel capacity; parallel channels; diversion channels; flood-plain polders; and flood-plain platforms. The classification scheme is an attempt for systematization of flood control measures mainly from the point of view of application of systems analysis, with a particular stress on the joint use of several flood control measures simultaneously.
