A Conceptual Framework for Flood Impact Mitigation Through Transboundary River Management

It is acknowledged that for successful mitigation of flood risk there a need an integrated, basin-wide approach. This particularly important in transboundary river basins cross administrative borders where the actions multiple stakeholders must be coordinated from source to mouth. The Ciliwung River, Indonesia, presents example complex urban basin crosses borders. increasing frequency and severity floods downstream capital city Jakarta has highlighted urgent more effective governance arrangements tackle flooding. However, it not clear what form these should take effective. In order understand how management can improved mitigate hazard impacts, first identify nature existing they relate interact with hazard. To do this, conceptual framework was developed. firstly outlines itself terms drivers impacts. then goes on establish associated seeks any interdependencies. Key concepts were drawn review literature, conducted using online databases search engines. included published journal conference papers as well reports by organisations which identified through searches. highlights interrelated risk, both human physical. There are also range issues related capacities, coordination institutions fragmentation plans policies within basin, overcome. Due complexities management, this provides much needed clarity facilitate future research relation peri-urban basins. sets development River Basin.
