Water is an essential resource; however it also presents a threat for people and property in areas that are prone to flooding.
Flooding is a naturally occurring phenomenon that can wreak havoc on people’s lives and property. Modern flood protection measures can however mitigate against the effects of flooding or avoid flooding altogether. We offer a comprehensive and cost effective flood protection package applying the latest design methods:
Integrated flood management comprises not only reactive measures like hard engineering structures such as river training, dikes, barriers and flood control basins, but also the enabling of natural water retention and preventative measures such as forecast models, land management, emergency planning and public relations. The proactive approach to flood management does not treat floods only as an engineering or an emergency problem, but as an issue with social, economic, environmental legal and institutional aspects.
Emergency plans, operation manuals and training are effective measures against flooding that work in harmony with hard protection structures.
