Situation distance control after flood and inundation is one of the main problem to be solved by space monitoring of emergency situations, developed in Kazakhstan since 2001 y. It is connected with annual emergency situation which is developed in every region of water bodies representing potential or real imminence. During last three years there were heavy floods passed in Kazakhstan, especially in Akmola, Pavlodar, Karaganda regions. There is an acute security issue during spring time inundation, till nowadays th...

The fast development and densification of urban areas, combined with climate change conditions, have a consistent impact on urban water management services such as rainwater handling. The current pattern of urban development focuses on the creation and expansion of grey infrastructure, resulting in the deterioration of the natural environment and the loss of ecosystem functionality. This research aimed to identify and mix technical (hydraulic) solutions with green- infrastructure and with town-planning measures in...

Environmental risks in waterstreams are not inconsiderable factor affecting the ecosystem and humans as part of the whole. As part of a comprehensive EU wide efforts to protect water bodies in Slovakia was adaptation of Directive 2000/60/EC which is establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy and water management. The core of the paper is an analysis of potential environmental risks in river basin Horn?d due to flooding. The aim is to identify possible sources of contamination, which...

Nowadays, after periods of time without precipitation, more and more frequent rains are coming in with very high flows in very short time. In case of extreme precipitation phenomena, sewer networks can no longer take rainwater flows, which often occur with large damages, often with loss of life. Drinking water is not renewable. That is why it is important to protect drinking water sources by using rainwater more efficiently. By recovering, storing and using rainwater, costs are reduced by treating and transporting...

The safety of hydrotechnical structures is a very important element that must enter the concerns of designers and society in general, given the fact that these are important works , with large investments. In the case of their distruction due to accidents, other activities from the area, the settlements and human lives may be strongly affected. These accidents are called hydrological hazards. [9] Breaking earth dams accidents do not occur suddenly but almost always there are signs of danger that would allow prelim...
