Descripción: This booklet aims to separate fact from fi ction on issues related to forests and water and to dispel some of the commonly held misconceptions about the role of forests in fl ood mitigation. It does not pretend to provide an exhaustive overview on the subject; rather, it aims to brief policy-makers, development agencies and the media, and so constructively contribute to
the development of sound watershed and river-basin management, and fl ood-mitigation policies, for the region.
