Strategy for protection against negative effects of floods and erosion phenomena by semi-natural measures in the Czech Republic
Floods and water erosion have always been there. What measures in the river basin help people the most?
Comprehensive systems of measures in a river basin
About the topic
The decisive factor in terms of surface runoff, water erosion, and sediment transport is the condition of agricultural land on which, under certain conditions, extreme runoff occurs with devastating effects after torrential rain. Forested land is also affected, especially in the use of unsustainable harvesting and transport practices as well as inappropriate stand composition. The […]
Floods from torrential rain and erosion phenomena
About the topic
Flood flows depend on many factors, such as the intensity and duration of the rain, the size of the affected area, and also on the physical and geographical characteristics of the affected area. The main factors are the size and shape of the basin, slope of the terrain, soil permeability, and land use. Saturation of […]

Can effective flood protection be achieved for a reasonable price?
Professional support in flood risk assessment and management
About the topic
The solution is focused on the application of flood risk analysis procedures, which is primarily a semi-quantitative and quantitative assessment of the degree of threat to an area and the extent of flood consequences. Hydraulic modelling tools are being developed and used as widely as possible in order to specify the extent of the impacts […]
