Subject: The aim of this report is to survey the current situation with respect to flood hazards problems and programs in Asia with the aim of facilitating a sharing of experience among regions. A longer term aim, for which this study serves as a benchmark, is to develop a more rigorous basis for making long-term international comparisons of flood problems, programs, and success in the region. Four basins are studied: 1) The Ganges-Brahmaputra; 2) the Indus; 3) the Huang Ho and Yangtze basins in China; and 4) the Mekong basin
