The publication contains four case studies from India, Japan, Serbia and Switzerland to provide policy and law-makers as well as flood managers insight into how the issue of floods has been addressed in different legal systems around the world. The case studies have been compiled by leading experts from the respective countries and are published in conjunction with a publication that discusses and describes the Legal and Institutional Aspects of Integrated Flood Management (WMO-No. 997)
