The measure covers all kinds of inormal planning documents for the improvement of land management in order to counteract dangerous phenomena of soil erosion and surface runoff in risk areas or minimise their effects (e.g. natural retention programs, urban adaptation plans for climate change, etc.). All regulations aim at determining directions of proceedings to reduce…
Wells filled with infiltration material and covered with soil, stones or other covering that absorb water from nearby paved surfaces
Natural or artificially created detention basins and depressions with a specific retention capacity can be used as temporary water reservoir for runoff water during heavy rainfall. They slow down the surface runoff; thus they contribute to a delay and attenuation of flood waves. They should be located at the deepest point in almost any surrounding…
Linear protection measures help to direct the water to areas, where it does not cause harm. Such measures are flood protection dams, flood protection walls, mobile flood protection systems, water drains (enhancement, removal of obstacles), storm water drainage and culverts, emergency waterways, flood channels, road drainage in case of new constructions and refurbishment. They have…
Traditional surface water drainage systems are often overloaded in case of heavy rain and thus cause flooding and damages. They can be developed further to “sustainable urban drainage systems” aiming on increasing their capacity e.g. when it comes to heavy rainfall and aligning them with natural water processes. There is a large collection of structural…
The measure includes the assessment of damages to the environment, mostly caused by accidents at sources of pollution e.g. containers with hazardous materials. Procedures and criteria’s need to be defined (beforehand).
