Design for flooding : architecture, landscape, and urban design for resilience to flooding and climate change / Architecture, landscape, and urban design for resilience to flooding and climate change Donald Watson and Michele Adams. - Hoboken, N.J. : John Wiley & Sons, c2011. - xxi, 298 p., [16] p. of plates : ill. (some col.), maps (some col.) ; 29 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
I: Nature of water -- Weather -- Land and water -- Flooding -- II: Design with water -- The natural landscape -- The altered landscape -- Design for inland flooding -- III: Flood-resistant design -- Flood design analysis -- The coast -- Flood design practices for buildings -- IV: Design for resilience -- Flood-resistant design for sties and communities -- Sea level rise -- Design for resilience.
Architects, urban planners and urban designers, as well as water resources engineers and landscape architects will discover that Design for Flooding presents the best practices and lessons to create buildings and communities that are more resilient in the face of severe weather, climate change, and the prospect of rising sea level. Design for Flooding covers technical and institutional issuesa̲long with new design and business opportunitiesb̲uilt upon fundamentals of climate and weather, stormwater and floodplain management; best practices.
