Alleviating effects of the technical training of mountainous rivers and streams in the urban areas

key words: mountainous river, river training, river restoration, bank protection, channel design, flood mitigation

Summary:

In order to protect the areas against the floods and droughts effect, we need to slow down the outflow in the scale of the whole catchment. The streams and rivers training are one of many possibilities of floods and droughts mitiga-tion. However, these activities often were done without any respect on the basic principle on keeping the ecological continuity of river corridor. In the paper, we propose improving the activities in the rivers and streams channels, in order to al-leviate effects of the technical training.
