Stakeholder involvement

Methods of land management, including land reclamation and change of agricultural practice,s need therefore to be popularized and implemented. These factors provide potential and opportunities to the project to involve all stakeholders to propose, design and test nonstructural flood and soils protection measures both on the conceptual, regional and practical field level. These would rely both on catchment scale measures suggested for the whole catchments and traditional flood protective measures such as built infrastructures.
