Geomorphologic and hydrologic analysis of Torrent Imvrassos in Samos Island, using GIS. Assessment of flooding hazard
© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
This paper is focused on the geomorphologic and hydrologic analysis of one of the eight most important torrents in Samos Island – Northern Aegean Sea – called Invrassos. The aim is the assessment of the flooding hazard and its return period T, comparing empirical formulas with measured values of the flooding episode of 28th–29th of November of 2001. The threat of flooding has been high in Samos due to rough geomorphology, high precipitations and absence of effective water policy in the design and construction of appropriate anti–flooding and anti–erosion hydraulic works.

Environmental management of severe riverine floods: The case of Evros Prefecture in Greece
© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
In the present paper the flooding problem of Evros River is presented in connection with the management actions taken in the homonymous Prefecture of North-Eastern Greece. The history of the Evros flooding is long (since 1897) with extended floodings in both 2006 and 2007. Various works for construction of dams, embankments, arrangements of the riverbed and others have been undertaken and are still in progress in our days, together with a system of control of the water level.

The Influence of Environmental Quality Standards and Safety Standards on Spatial Planning - Water and air as examples
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (2/2007)
An important question dealt with in this article is how standards from water management – irrespective of whether they regard water quality, protection against floods or the prevention of flooding – have to be statutorily laid down so as to be able to have an optimal effect on spatial planning.

Flood Management in Baden-Württemberg
© Springer Vieweg | Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH (9/2004)
For flood management in Baden-Württemberg three particular strategies are addressed: flood plain management, physical flood protection and preventive flood protection. Crucial for well-aimed actions for all strategies is information on the flood hazards, shown in flood hazard maps, which are available for the whole land up to 2010.

Economic Considerations in Flood Risk Management

Elaboration and utilization of sound economic information are highly relevant for decision-making in integrated flood risk management. This strategy aims at the development and execution of flood action plans which combine measures of natural flood retention, technical infrastructure and further-reaching precautionary activities.
