Tecnologías para el manejo del riesgo de inundaciones a diferentes escalas.

Abstract

This monograph addresses the technologies used in flood control, classifying them into four main groups. First, it examines technologies designed to reduce the likelihood of flooding, such as reforestation and land use control. Second, it analyzes technologies that manage flood volumes, including reservoirs and diversion channels. Third, it explores technologies that increase flood resilience, such as green infrastructure and sustainable urbanization techniques. Finally, it describes technologies aimed at assisting those affected and repairing damage, such as emergency management platforms and economic compensations. Additionally, it highlights the importance of using methods that do not negatively impact the environment, promoting sustainable solutions that integrate ecosystem protection. This comprehensive approach emphasizes the importance of combining preventive and responsive measures to effectively manage floods and mitigate their impacts while ensuring the conservation of the natural environment.
