Description
"Natural Disasters: Floods provides a comprehensive overview of types of floods and strategies for controlling them, along with statistics for major U.S. and world floods. A full chapter is devoted to U.S. laws and regulations, from the first River and Harbor Act to the Dam Safety Act of 1986, complete with amendments. A roster of government and private organizations summarizes the purpose and activities of each, provides particulars, and notes publications. An extensive bibliography includes an annotated list of books as well as references to scientific and technical studies, journals, reports, popular accounts, and periodicals that publish articles on floods. A list of audiovisual aids, a glossary, and an index round out this handy reference work."--Jacket.
