Information is provided about the approach and experience on flood management and mitigation in the Rewa Basin (Fiji). This consists mainly of a combination of structural measures (river dredging, seawalls and floodgates) with non-structural ones (flood forecasting). The description provided of what has been so far accomplished to reduce flood damage reduction problems is accompanied by an assessment of what still needs to be done to address all issues in a holistic manner, so as to reach an IFM. This is complemented with information on existing flood and water management instruments and on plans for legislation to support a comprehensive sustainable development policy. The role of gender and in particular women in flood-related activities is described. The information provided in this case study could well be used to transfer experience to other basins with similar geographical and socio-economic development conditions
