Abstract

Many floodplains are excluded from urban development because the floods cause considerable damage to people’s lives and properties. This requires the development of new approaches to flood management and mitigation for support sustainable urban development. In present study as the measures for mitigation of flash floods, the regulation of river flow by the system of detention reservoirs for flood diversion with dams, which do not need any operation management, are analyzed concerning of Far East region of Russia. The main objective of this paper is to develop a method for analysis how the dam site selection meets the environmental criterion. The method to justify a selection of self-regulated flood dam parameters, primarily a height of a dam and its location on a water stream, providing minimization of impact on the environment have been developed. The result for Selemdzha river basin in Far East monsoon region of Russian Federation is analyzed. The result shows the robustness of the method.

Summary

Introduction

Floods are one of the most dangerous natural disasters. Flooding is an issue that affects all countries and each year they cause considerable damage to people’s lives and properties. This leads to that many floodplains are excluded from sustainable urban development. The development of new approaches to flood management and mitigation are required for sustainable urban development. With the Directive 2007/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on the assessment and management of flood risks the strategy changed from Flood Protection to Flood Risk Management [1, 2]. Climate change is likely to increase the frequency of flood events, increasing the associated hazard [3]. The likelihood of the overuse of land in flood-prone areas and the risk of devastating floods grows with population growth, in urban areas
