Flood Risk by Paul Sayers
This ICE publication is the definitive practical handbook on design and maintenance of flood defences, providing a coherent and focused reference for best practice. With contributions from a number of experts in the field and the inclusion of real life case studies this book will be the first port of call for practising engineers working in the areas of flood risk management and drainage. Coverage includes the design of fluvial, coastal and urban flood defences, as well as guidance on relevant legislation, lessons learned from past disasters and means of improving the environment while managing flood risk. The intended audience is practising (graduate to senior level) engineers, hydrologists and project managers working on flood defence projects, mainly in consultancies but also in the Environment Agency and Local Authorities.Paul Sayers heads the Floods Group at HR Wallingford and has worked on a variety of river and coastal engineering and management projects world-wide. He leads the development of risk-based methods at HR and continues to be closely involved in the on-going development of a range of advanced numerical simulation models and system analysis tools, from the next generation of broad scale models to detailed site specific models.
