The development of integrated flood warning systems.
Material type:
TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1986Description: 30p., 8 tables, 2 figs., 34 refsSubject(s): Subject: This brief analysis of research in the area of flood forecasting and warning demonstrates that Australia lags somewhat behind the rest of the world. This appears to be owing to the central role of one organisation - the Bureau of Meteorology - whose position dominates this field, to the exclusion of initiative from others. The subject of the role of flood warning systems will therefore benefit from the wider spread of interests and the real debate about future policy directions.
