<strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Flood</strong> <strong>Management</strong> recognizes that floods indeed have beneficial effects and can never<br />

be fully controlled. The IFM approach uses a combination of regulatory, financial, physical and<br />

policy measures that focus on coping with floods within a framework of <strong>Integrated</strong> Water Resources<br />

<strong>Management</strong>. This paper does not go into detail on the various building blocks of IWRM. The <strong>Flood</strong><br />

<strong>Management</strong> Policy Series and the <strong>Flood</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Tools Series, published by the Associated<br />

Programme on <strong>Flood</strong> <strong>Management</strong>, provide further guidance on these and many other issues.<br />
