前言|Preface
I have stated many times that I am one of the lucky few who have the opportunity to work all their professional lives in an area that they enjoy. The most enjoyable activity for me is to integrate knowledge from different fields into an approach for solving complex problems that include uncertainty. My work has brought me into contact with many people, responsible professionals, talented engineers, capable managers, and dedicated politicians. In my capacity as an academic I have also had an opportunity to work with young talented peoplethe future of our workforce. I learned a lot from all of them. I learned many things about the profession, I learned a lot about different cultures, and most importantly I learned about life. Thank you.
My interest in risk and flooding as a natural disaster grew from my main area of expertisewater resources systems management. From the early days of my professional career I was involved with floods and flood management, first from an engineering point of view and then later from a management point of view. Flood problems along the Morava, Sava, and Danube rivers in my country of originSerbiawere among the first professional challenges I had to deal with after graduation. In 1997, I was teaching at the University of Manitoba and living in Winnipeg. That was the year of the Flood of the Century. The governments of Canada and the USA have agreed that steps must be taken to reduce the impact of future flooding on the Red River. In June 1997, they asked the International Joint Commission IJC to analyze the causes and effects of the Red River flood of that year. The IJC appointed the International Red River Basin Task Force to examine a range of alternatives to prevent or reduce future flood damage. I was appointed to the task force and the subsequent experience changed my life.
My work has taken me all over the world. I have had an opportunity to see flood problems in the developed and developing world, in small villages and large urban centers. Projects I have been involved with range in scale from the local to the international. I have discussed flooding issues with farmers of the Sihu area in China as well as the Minister for Irrigation and Water Resources of Egypt. I hope that my professional expertise continues to contribute to the solution of some of these problems. It definitely inspires me to continue to work with greater effort and more dedication.
For more than 35 years of personal research, consulting, teaching, involvement in policy, implementation of projects, and presentation of experiences through the pages of many professional journals, I have worked hard to raise awareness of the importance of uncertaintyobjective and subjectivein the solution of complex problems. The main thrust of my work is the use of a systems approach in dealing with complexity. I have accumulated tremendous experience over the years. In that time I realized that there is an opportunity to contribute to the area of flood risk management by transferring some of the knowledge and experience from the implementation of systems thinking and systems tools to various steps of the flood risk management cycle. Writing this book offered me a moment of reflection, and it elaborates on lessons learned from the past to develop ideas for the future.
Publishing this book was made possible through the contributions of many people. I would like to start by acknowledging the publication support provided by the International Hydrologic Programme of UNESCO, and the Water Science Division team including Siegfried Demuth and Biljana Radojevic. Most of the knowledge contained in this book came from my numerous interactions with teachers, students, and colleagues throughout the world. They taught me all I know. I would like particularly to thank the students whose work is used in this text. In order of appearance in the text, they are HyungIll Eum Chapter 3, Dragan Sredojevic Chapter 3, Lisa BoweringTaylor Chapter 3, AngelaPeck Chapter 3, DejanVucetic Chapters 4 and 5, Ozren Despic Chapter 5, Ibrahim ElBaroudi Chapter 5, Taslima Akter Chapter 5, and Mike Bender Chapter 5. A special thank you goes to Veerakcudy Rajasekaram, who is the developer of the computer programs.
The support of my family, Dijana, Damjan, and Tanja, was of the utmost importance in the development of this book. They provide a very large part of my motivation, my goals, my energy, and my spirit. Without the endless encouragement, criticism, advice, and support of my wife Tanja this book would never have been completed.
