Adapting The Dutch Model for Kerala Flood Management an Investigation
Abstract
The state of Kerala was in the shadow zone of several different natural disasters. That led the people living in Kerala to think about their zero vulnerability. But a series of natural disasters like tsunami, floods, landslides at regular intervals of time exposed the vulnerabilities and envisaged the urgent need for starting research and developmental activities in that direction particularly for warning and mitigations. Besides the research on protective mechanisms also gained momentum particularly for water related disasters. Netherland is a country which is notorious for floods and that country shows similarities in topography and land use pattern with regard to Kerala. Dutch model of flood protection is a globally acclaimed model which was received with great accolades. This paper is an investigation about various flood protective mechanisms implemented in Dutch and a feasibility study aboutimplementing those in the state of Kerala.
