Conclusion
Climate change is expected to affect flooding through changes in rainfall, temperature, sea level and river processes. Climate change will exacerbate the existing effects of flooding on infrastructure and community services, including roads, storm water and wastewater systems and drainage, river flood mitigation works, and private and public assets including houses, businesses and schools.
Climate change may change flood risk management priorities and may even increase the risk from flooding to unacceptable levels in some places. It is therefore important that your flood risk assessments incorporate an understanding of the impacts of climate change on the flood hazard.
Managing present-day and future risk from flooding involves a combination of risk-avoidance and risk-reduction activities. The treatment options could be a combination of avoiding risk where possible, controlling risk through structural or regulatory measures, transferring risk through insurance, accepting risk, emergency management planning, warning systems, and communicating risk (including residual risk) to affected parties. The best combination will consider the needs of future generations and not lock communities into a future of increasing risks from flooding.
Floods may be frightening, but it is up to us to make sure they do not interfere with our daily life. Pools, ponds, and other reservoirs should all be kept in good condition. Floods can be prevented if soil conditions improve, allowing for easier water absorption. During floods, flood barriers can be used as protection. It is expected that floods will be affected by climate change due to changes in rainfall, temperature, sea level, and river fluctuations. As a result, your assessment of the risk of floods should take into account the effects of climate change on flood hazards.
