À propos de l'auteur

The International Conferences on Flood Management (ICFM) is the world's leading multidisciplinary forum for flood-related disaster reduction. Held triennially across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, ICFM facilitates global dialogue between scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to address challenges like climate change and community resilience. This volume is a direct result of ICFM's mission to foster a "flood-literate" global society, empowering children and families with the knowledge to navigate a changing environment. The China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR) is a premier global authority in water science under China's Ministry of Water Resources. Established in 1933, IWHR serves as a cornerstone for national hydraulic research, specializing in flood management, water ecology, and sustainable development. With a distinguished team of over 1,200 experts and academicians, the institute provides technical support for major global water conservancy projects.
