Abstract
This study investigates integrated flood and drought approaches. This stems from integrated flood and drought management. In this field they focus on a mulihazard approach. This research will investigate the existing and novel measures within the field of integrated flood and drought management. This will be done by answering the central question: “What are effective integrated flood and drought approaches?” aided by the following secondary questions “Which integrated flood and drought approaches exist?”, “Which integrated flood and drought measures have been put into practice?”, “When is an integrated flood and drought approach considered effective?”. In order to answer the research question a systematic qualitative literature review has been conducted. Using a combination of deductive and inductive coding. When looking at the different type of measures, most of them are overarched by nature-based solutions. This concept describes measures that make use of ecosystems to provide additional benefits to humans. When looking at their impacts. Articles have rarely discussed negative impacts of integrated flood and drought measures and focused mainly on the positive impacts. As the study proposes a starting point to categorize the different type of measures. Future research could dive deeper into the different type of measures. Especially what the drawbacks are of the measures. In addition to that, most benefits of the measures were overlapping.
