Flood Management Strategy and Implementation

Email a friend this article Print This Article

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) engaged GHD to develop a National Flood Management Strategy to help manage the nation’s severe flooding problem.

The proposed strategy lays the foundation for improved flood management and renewed water management concepts, and provides options to help formulate action plans. GHD reported on the review of structural and non-structural measures and provided assessments of their effectiveness, as well as delivered a framework for flood mitigation and floodplain management, and action plans to implement new approaches.

In 2008, ADB commissioned GHD to continue on the implementation stage. GHD will implement the National Flood Management Strategy at Hunan and Jiang Xi provinces. The review aims to identify key issues for future flood management and develop an action plan. GHD will help local authorities to implement the strategies and improve the capacities of relevant local governments.
