Integrated Flood Management (IFM) approaches have been developed and engages communities, scientists and skilled technicians to harness flood water for socio-economic development of flood prone lands. One of the ways of developing policies and development actions for flood control and watershed management is through a better understanding of the traditional uses of flood water, it’s management and coping strategies by the communities towards floods. This is because traditional management systems are passed down from generation to generation and this provides a key input into technical development of flood management plans and sustainable management of watersheds. A study conducted in Nyando river basin and Nyamasaria river basin have tried to exert community inclusion in the integrated flo...

Flood risks need to be well considered in development planning take risk-aware decisions. Integrated Flood Management (IFM) is a development policy concept that integrates land and water resources development in a river basin, with a view to maximizing the efficient use of flood plains

Risk management has been discussed in many previous papers giving different meanings to the term-a result of the fact that risk management actually takes place on three different levels of actions: the operational level, which is associated with operating an existing system, a project planning level, which is used when a new, or a revision of an existing project is planned, and a project design level, which is embedded into the second level and describes the process of reaching an optimal solution for the project. The first two levels will be briefly described in the paper. It will be emphasized that the transition from the first to the second level is a dynamic process. As the value system of a nation changes, and as the natural boundary conditions are modified by human actions or global changes, an existing system will be found not meeting the demands of the present society, and actions on the second level are initiated. The decisions for change depend on the changes in options available for handling a flood situation, as well as on the changes in risk perception and attitudes towards risk. On the third level, the actual cost of a design are evaluated and compared with the benefits obtained from the planned project. In particular, on this level the residual risk is considered, i.e. the risk which remains even after a project is completed and fully operational. q
