With flood modelling in its infancy in Georgia, it should be noted that this policy document is currently based on fluvial flood risk (river bank overtopping) only. However, it should be noted that additional complexities to flood risk may arise once these other sources of flooding are modelled and these will need to be taken into account at that time. The general principles should, however, apply to all sources of flooding and their various combinations.
