Features: Disaster refers to phenomena and processes that cause harm and loss to human life and property. Disasters can be divided into human-induced disasters and natural disasters. The water disasters mentioned here include both human and natural factors, primarily referring to flood (waterlogging) disasters, drought disasters, and water pollution disasters. Flood and drought disasters are generally caused by natural factors, while water pollution is caused by human factors. This book discusses the concept of water disasters, their social impacts, methods and assessment of economic losses caused by water disasters, disaster reduction investment and benefits, and institutional arrangements for disaster prevention and mitigation from an economic perspective.
