Dear subscribers,
31 August 2017
 
The predictions by hydrologists of increased devastation from flooding have become a reality. Considering that one third of Bangladesh is under water and the recent destruction in Houston and Niger, integrated flood management must be given a higher priority.
 
In an effort to help, The Water Network has created a dedicated knowledge community to consolidate flood management resources and expertise. 
 
Please invite flood professionals in your network to join the Flood Prevention, Mitigation and Recovery Community and contribute to reducing the impact from future floods. 
 
Kind Regards,
