<br />OO[)~88 <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />Conclusion <br />Flood-warning system offer substantial opportunities to mitigate flood <br />damage and to increase publ ic safety. The design of these complex systems <br />must be based on clearly developed requirements for warning response time, <br />Implementation of the various components of the flood-warning system uses new <br />commun i cat i on and computer techno logy that makes the comp 1 ex data gatheri n g <br />and forecasting tasks feasible, While costs for such systems are significant, <br />the operation of these warning systems in conjunction with good pre- and post- <br />flood planning should result in reduced flood damages. <br /> <br />References <br /> <br />1.
