Structural and non-structural ways of managing floods with respect to the climate change situation

Flooding is historically a major environmental problem in many parts of the world. Malaysia is one of those countries that frequently experiences flash and regional flooding due to geographical location, topography, climate and the improper development activities. Appropriate flood management meas...
