Due to latest trends which are more oriented to the sustainable regulation of watercourses or riparian space, we focused in this master thesis on the measure of hedgerows, as one of their representatives, to reduce the erosion risk in flood areas. Sustainable measures have beside protection, also ecological function as they improve living conditions for aquatic and riparian life. For the selected flood area of Hudinja river we, used a hydraulic model to check the impact of land use and various scenarios for the use of hedges and supported the findings with numerous demonstrations. We compared the impact of the selected measures with the existing conditions and thus justify their choice. We presented comparisons of depths, levels, velocities, and shear stresses for different flows. We discovered that land use has a significant impact on resilience itself. Due to climate change and the forecast of an increase in both the intensity and frequency of high waters, it is necessary to carefully plan the use of space and measures in flood areas.
