Soort boek
Paperback

<p>Multifunctional flood defenses protect areas against flooding, but serve other functions as well. Although these types of defenses can be seen almost everywhere, they pose special technical and governance challenges.</p> <p> </p> <p>This book is about a unique interdisciplinary research program developed to tackle some of the issues designers and managers of multifunctional flood defenses are confronted with, and also to provide some practical solutions. The book discusses a variety of case studies, but also considers the difficulties involved in setting up an interdisciplinary study with PhD students from different fields. Interviews with some of the end users and reflections by researchers involved in the field make this book a 'must read' for everybody who is involved in protecting societies against flooding.</p>
