This book explores the benefits of using risk analysis techniques
in the evaluation of flood protection structures, and examines the
results of the environmental impact assessment for selected planned
flood protection projects. The objective of the book is to propose
a methodology for environmental impact assessment in water
management. In more detail, flood mitigation measures are
investigated with the aim of selecting the best option for the
approval process. This methodology is intended to streamline the
process of environmental impact assessment for structures in the
field of the water management. The book's environmental impact
assessment system for water management structures analyzes the
respective risks for different options. The results are intended to
support the selection of future projects that pose minimum risks to
the environment. Comparison of alternatives and designation of the
optimal variant are implemented on the basis of selected criteria
that objectively describe the characteristics of the planned
alternatives and their respective impacts on the environment. The
proposed Guideline for environmental impact assessment of flood
protection objects employs multi-parametric risk analysis, a method
intended to not only enhance the transparency and sensitivity of
the evaluation process, but also successfully addresses the
requirements of environmental impact assessment systems in the
European Union. These modifications are intended to improve the
outcomes of the environmental impact assessment, but may also be
applied to other infrastructure projects. The case study proves
that the primary aim - to improve transparency and minimize
subjectivity in the environmental impact assessment process
specific to flood protection structure projects - is met for the
planned project in Kruzlov, Slovakia.
