Adaptation to Flood Risks Sample Clauses

Adaptation to Flood Risks. As discussed in a more general context in Sec. 3, adaptation can represent an effective mean to reduce the impacts from floodings. In particular the protection measures, such as xxxxx or sea walls, are commonly implemented in flood prone regions (IPCC 2014). However, the required financial efforts for such implementations strongly depend on the present conditions in the con- sidered area and are difficult to estimate in the general case (Xxxxxxx et al. 2013, Xxxxxx et al. 2010).
