Abstract
A fundamental conflict occurs when a floodplain, fluvio-morphologically formed by the river for draining its high flows, is occupied and developed by humanity. Consequently, damages are experienced that are the inevitable costs of occupancy of the floodplain. A systematic methodology is suggested for formulating an optimal scheme for addressing any flood situation with its own unique characteristics. This methodology embraces all available measures, structural and non-structural, traditional and modern, in evolving the best scheme. Diverse flood situations in New Brunswick (Canada), the Nile River Basin and Bangladesh exemplify three flooding situations radically different in origin and character. Finally, some important conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made for approaching solutions to major flood problems
