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

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.
