Prior to the 1960s, countries around the world generally paid attention to flood control engineering measures, that is, to control floods by constructing dams, reservoirs and other water conservancy facilities. However, after the 1960s, countries around the world paid more and more attention to the use of non-engineering measures in flood control planning. That is, through flood warning, disaster assessment, flood insurance, and other means, combined with various engineering measures, so as to minimize the impact of floods on human economic, environmental and social development. This text mainly talks about:. ['Transfer of flood prevention concepts across the world.', 'New ways for countries to control floods.', 'Emphasis on flood control projects cannot effectively control floods.', 'Non-engineering measures have gradually become the dominant feature of flood control planning.']
