The Need to Protect Areas From Flooding and Shore Protection on the Rivers of Prykarpattia

Abstract

Prykarpattia is one of the areas in Europe most prone to floods. Recent environmental research predicts a trend towards an increase in these dangerous phenomena in the Carpathian region of Ukraine. The analysis of the losses caused by floods in Lviv region shows that the allocation of funds for the elimination of the consequences of floods is growing every year. It is necessary to introduce comprehensive regulation of riverbeds, taking into account the development of channel processes and forecasting possible changes under the influence of hydraulic structures. The purpose of the study is to analyze the factors influencing landslides and erosion in the foothills of the Ukrainian Carpathians and the choice of optimal flood protection of populated areas.
