Las obras hidráulicas en los sistemas fluviales de la Costa Brava: preferencias locales y limitaciones de un modelo convencional de adaptación al riesgo de inundación

This article focuses on adaptative policies to the flood hazard in the area of the Costa Brava. A special emphasis is put on the role of hydraulic infrastructure in flood prevention. We attempt to examine the extent to which local perception of hydraulics works as the more efficient form to adaptation to these phenomena clashes with new flood control policies such as land use planning or river basin planning in general.
