Conclusions and recommendation<br />
Two main points are brought forward here:<br />
1) ecosystem-based flood management can be stimulated from both a top-down perspective (central policy<br />
makers implementing new flood management policies and projects) but also from a bottom-up direction<br />
(local communities who suggested to restore seasonal flooding). This insight calls for a mode of interaction,<br />
or governance of flooding, in which different stakeholders (governmental actors, policy makers, local<br />
communities, NGOs) are involved in ecosystem-based flood management.<br />
2) an appreciation of flood dynamics, beyond its association with catastrophes alone, is helpful to consider<br />
the positive aspects of controlled (seasonal) flooding for long-term management of dynamic socialecological<br />
systems<br />
