The aim of this paper is to indicate, in an intuitive form, the possible alternative system engineering methods which can be used in the process of flood risk management. The notion of system engineering is frequently encountered mainly in connection with the plans and requirements related to resolving problems of complex management of organizations, processes, extensive development projects, inter-personal, inter-organizational and international relationships. System engineering, its methods and techniques should simplify the process of resolving the emerging problems of modern society, economics and industry. The paper does not set out to present a complete theoretical explanation of the individual systems science procedures, rather it concentrates on the proposed concept of their use in protection against floods. In the introduction, the paper deals with defining the notions of object, system and model. It then goes on to briefly explain the procedures of system identification, system analysis, system design and system implementation.
