Extreme floods as severe and unusual events are associated to wide range negative consequences such as: extreme floodplain flooding; crop, household, infrastructure and economy damages; social disturbance, etc. Their negative effects in most cases tend to disaster behavior, thus of especial interest is the problem with possible mitigation and prevention measures obtaining. Parts of them are Natural Water Retention Measures (NWRM) that successfully can complement available grey infrastructure.
In help of experts in the aria this material observes floods phenomenon, considering its physical behavior with regard to the cause, connected outcomes and possible measures that can be obtained, including nature based retention measures. As practical illustration one of the recent severe flood in Bulgaria ? on the Skat river, that seriously affected the Mizia town in 2014 is presented. The event was examined considering connected hydro-meteorological and topographical conditions, observing its severity and obtained for mitigation purposes measures. Presented discussion aims to clarify the role of NWRM, with accent on some problems associated to their practical implementation.
