Description
Flood protection and revitalization contain an abundance of specialized expressions from various sectors of flood control. In order to simplify understanding and prevent possible misunderstanding, the Federal Office has during several years compiled a four-language dictionary with emphasis on the flood control, hydraulics, hydrology, geomorphology, and natural-hazards sectors.
This work covers more than 800 entries with about 1500 definitions in English, German, French, and Italian.
The terminology is also integrated in the European Union’s terminology database dictionary via EURODICAUTOM.
