20.500.12556/RUL-131846 Exploring options for flood risk management with special focus on retention reservoirs Floods are among the most frequent and deadliest natural disasters, and the magnitude and frequency of floods is expected to increase. Therefore, the effects of different flood risk management options need to be evaluated. In this study, afforestation, permeable concrete implementation, and the use of dry and wet retention reservoirs were tested as possible options for urban flood risk reduction in a case study involving the Glinščica river catchment (Slovenia). Additionally, the effect of dry and wet reservoirs was investigated at a larger (catchment) scale. Results showed that in the case of afforestation and permeable concrete, large areas are required to achieve notable peak discharge reduction (from a catchment scale point of view). The costs related to the implementation of such measures could be relatively high, and may become even higher than the potential benefits related to the multifunctionality and multi-purpose opportunities of such measures. On the other hand, dry and wet retention reservoirs could provide more significant peak discharge reductions; if appropriate locations are available, such reservoirs could be implemented at acceptable costs for decision makers. However, the results of this study show that reservoir effects quickly reduce with scale. This means that while these measures can have significant local effects, they may have only a minor impact at larger scales. We found that this was also the case for the afforestation and permeable concrete. floods afforestation green measures retention reservoirs hydrological modelling flood damage model hydraulic modelling permeable concrete poplave pogozdovanje zeleni ukrepi zadrževalniki hidrološko modeliranje škodni model hidravlično modeliranje drenažni beton true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-10-04 13:30:56 2021-10-04 13:30:57 2025-04-25 13:13:26 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 20 str. iss. 18, art. 10099 Vol. 13 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 556.1:004 2071-1050 10.3390/su131810099 75998467 sustainability-13-10099-v2_(5).pdf sustainability-13-10099-v2_(5).pdf 1 69B7B66845C0FC9FE1ED8136159B9BD8 f0886348835a871bdade704dfec2836c9b28349f757ae1cf80c38e4435187629 178c7993-1b72-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=208662 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/18/10099 1 4091b38d-2506-11ec-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=149261 Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
