Flood Protection
Academic Year 2023/24
CR056 course is part of 1 study plan
N-P-C-SI (N) / V Winter Semester 2nd year
1. Catastrophic flood events of recent years – up to date methods of flood protection.
2. Extent and level flood protection in relation to potential damages and losses – economic (urban areas, agricultural areas, industry) and uneconomic (health and lifes of people and animals, ecologic).
3. Factors influencing number and extent of floods and flood damages.
4. Risk analysis (RA) of floodplains.

Objective
The aim is to establish the framework of flood protection and isuues at the flood protection measures. The flood protection is assessed from the view of water management and flow hydrodynamics, environmetal and societal views. Students will learn basics of floodplain risk analysis.
Knowledge
Knowledge of topics:
1. Flood types, their generation, hydrologic measurements, historical floods
2. Identification of flood hazards (determination of potentially endangered areas and possible scenarios of flood course)
3. Simulation of flood scenarios (rainfall runoff models, modelling flood plain water flow and ground water flow), runoff conditions study
4. Flooding affected by water structures (operating regulation, actualisation of flood protection measures), hydraulic structures safety during flooding
5. Flood plain risk and its evaluation (vulnerability, exposition, risk, evaluation methods)
6. Assessment of potentially flooded areas (according water law, classification according town planning scheme)
7. Uncertainties and their effect on the level of flood protection
8. Flood plain damage determination, flood risk quantification.
9. Ground water regimes changes during flood events.
10. Types of flood protection and their design
1. Flood types, their generation, hydrologic measurements, historical floods
2. Identification of flood hazards (determination of potentially endangered areas and possible scenarios of flood course)
3. Simulation of flood scenarios (rainfall runoff models, modelling flood plain water flow and ground water flow), runoff conditions study
