Flood risk of lower silesia voivodship
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 10
Abstract
Floods are natural events of a random nature that cause damage in property, agriculture, and industry. Floods in the upper and middle Odra basin, particularly on a large scale, are characterized by their specificity of arising and shaping. Analyses of historical material prove that the largest floods are during the summer season, especially in July and August. Those events are caused by wide and intensive precipitation lasting 2-3 days. Moreover spatial ranges in the Odra basin and runoff sequence are also the important reasons. Other important factors for the flood risk scale in a region is knowledge of the flood risk index established on the basis of observed floods or that of Maximum Probability Flood. In this paper flood risk in the territory of Lower Silesia Province was evaluated on the basis of chosen indices of flood risk.<br/><br/>
