Structural and Hydro Technical Schemes for Flood Defenses

Article Preview

Abstract:

Area flooding is the main parameter necessary to achieve hydro technical defense schemes. This can be determined based on calculations performed in various programs. Of the many measures to limit the risk of flooding were chosen for comparison hydrotechnical for protection against floods schemes: embankment and building a polder area. Finally it is noted that structural measures are widely promoted because of the benefits arising from economically and ecologically necessary but complementary structural measures are the only high efficiency in cases with high abundant torrential floods. Today hydro technical schemes are a techno-economic and environmental compromise with fluctuating boundaries, making the decision to be very heavy, plus taking into consideration the temporal variability and the aspect of economy and nature. The optimal solution is specific to each river basin and establishing its methods are different, many of which are listed in this paper.
