Integrated Flood Management (IFM) addresses social, economic, and environmental factors in flood control. This approach maximizes floodplain benefits while reducing flood-related deaths through multi-disciplinary and basin-wide strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Hydrological Sciences
  • Water Resource Management
  • Environmental Management

Background:

  • International flood management initiatives have historically focused on technical aspects, neglecting crucial social, economic, environmental, and institutional dimensions.
  • The Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM), established by WMO and Global Water Partnership, recognized this gap.
  • The concept of Integrated Flood Management (IFM) was developed in 2002 to address these multifaceted issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the outcomes of Integrated Flood Management (IFM) approaches implemented through pilot projects.
  • To highlight the benefits of multi-disciplinary strategies in flood management.
  • To demonstrate the integration of land and water resource development within a river basin context.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Application of Integrated Flood Management (IFM) principles in pilot projects.
  • Utilizing multi-disciplinary approaches involving various expertise.
  • Integrating flood management within the broader framework of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).

Main Results:

  • Identification of key elements crucial for effective IFM.
  • Demonstration of IFM's success in maximizing benefits from floodplains.
  • Evidence of IFM's role in reducing loss of life due to flooding.

Conclusions:

  • IFM provides a holistic framework for flood management, integrating technical, social, economic, and environmental considerations.
  • Key IFM elements include adopting a basin approach, multi-disciplinary strategies, risk reduction, community participation, ecosystem preservation, and addressing climate change.
  • Effective implementation requires supportive legislation and regulatory mechanisms.
