Abstract
The Integrated Flood Management (IFM) concept intends to obtain the maximum of benefits from the use of floodplains and the minimum of losses from flooding which seems to be the ideal outcome of flood management. For this, different strategies are recommended in order to reach this objective. The implementation of this concept leads to a resilience approach for the adaptive management of floods and is currently on its way to be better understood and integrated as part of the water resources management. There exist a fair amount of strategies to adapt to flooding that have been recommended or already implemented either as planned or autonomous ways of adaptation but their effectivity depends on the specific case where they are applied. This is why this paper looks to give a better overview of the different recommended or implemented strategies by analyzing them regarding their inherent advantages and disadvantages.
