More about the book

The book introduces an innovative concept called Large Areas for Temporary Emergency Retention (LATER), addressing the inadequacies of levee systems in floodplain management. It emphasizes the importance of spatial planning that allows for water retention to mitigate the impact of extreme floods. By exploring the idea of 'Clumsy Floodplains,' the work advocates for a more effective, interdisciplinary approach to flood management, offering a fresh perspective on creating sustainable solutions in flood-prone areas.
