The results of estimation of the probable annual fl ood fl ows with the use of various sets of data from a small agricultural lowland river are presented. The traditional statistical series are formed from the annual maximum (AM) fl ows of hydrological years. After examination of the homogeneity of the series, two sets of data were formed (AM1 of 34 elements and AM2 of 40 elements), which differed...
In August 2005 a very severe fl ood hit large parts of Switzerland. Strong erosion occurred in several steep, apparently stable reaches of mountain streams, what produced heavy sediment loads. Where these were deposited, they caused channel avulsion or channel obstruction with subsequent inundations. Numerical simulation proved to be a useful tool to analyse the processes and to plan mitigation measures...
Floods in urban areas cause considerable economic losses and affect many people. Measures for flood mitigation in urban areas are primarily of an engineering character, however, existing city infrastructure very often restricts the introduction of appropriate new constructions. The city of Gdańsk is situated at the mouth of the Vistula river, on the area, which forms Vistula delta. It is the most...
One year after the Xynthia storm surge, which struck the Vendée and the Charente-Maritime counties of the French Atlantic Coast in the night of 27/28 February 2010, French authorities implemented a national plan for mitigation and management of the flash submersions (MEDDTL 2011). In this paper authors analyse partial results of this plan after almost three years of its effectiveness in the perspective...
