Details about Design for Flooding: Architecture, Landscape, and Urban Design for Resilience to Climate Change:

Written by an architect and engineer, this book provides a comprehensive primer to planning and design to achieve sustainable water resourcesoften called water security applicable to architecture, regional planning, storm water engineering, and landscape design. It focuses upon management of watersheds as natural and designed hydrologic systems to optimize conservation and improvement of water as a resource. The book compiles illustrated technical data for rainwater collection, storage, and management appropriate for both arid and flooding conditions. Special conditions of coastal flood hazard mitigation are included because many similar principles and techniques apply.
