![]() | Floods and Drainage: British Policies for Hazard Reduction, Agricultural Improvement and Wetland Conservation Subjects: Environment & Agriculture; Environment and Sustainability; Conservation - Environment Studies; Ecology - Environment Studies; Environmental Policy; Environmental Change & Pollution; Environmental Management; Environment & Resources; Biodiversity & Conservation; Agriculture & Environmental Sciences; Agriculture; Fisheries Science; Environmental Impact Assessment; Coastal Management; River Management; Resource Management - Environmental Studies; Originally published in 1986, Floods and Drainage advanced hazard - response theory as developed mainly by the White/Burton/Kates school of researchers in North America. Based on fifteen years of research, the book rejects conventional theory's emphasis on personal response to hazardous environments, suggesting that this seriously detracts from the institutional and political forces that are so important in the analysis of hazard responses and policies. The book also seeks to provide material of practical relevance to environmental managers and engineers, rather than to present just research results. |
