Adam Krajewski (Poland) spent two weeks working with Nejc Bezak (University of Ljubljana) investigating impact of rainfall interception due to urban greenery on flood generation. Obtained results confirm significant role of urban greenery in runoff generation and flood risk reduction. The output of the STSM will be presented at conference in a form of a […]

Zuzana Nemetova (Slovakia) cooperated with Prof. Kazimierz Banasik from Warsaw University of Life Sciences. They worked on mathematical modelling of soil degradation processes and evaluation of flood protection measures within the territory of Poland and the Slovak Republic. The results from EROSION-3D model consisted of map and tabular outputs reflecting various erosion and transport processes (amount […]

Title: Understanding the role of policy frameworks in developing land degradation in stakeholders perception from a post-conflict perspective in Bosnia and Herzegovina Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is a developing country facing extensive land degradation. BiH exists as a decentralized state, where all land (e.g., agricultural and forest soils) and water resources are under exclusive jurisdiction of […]

Amy Phillips (representing Belgium) spent two weeks in Czech Republic cooperating with Jan Macháč on public perceptions of urban nature-based solutions for flood protection on private and public land and developing the  comparative study between Brussels and Prague. The conference abstract was prepared focusing on the comparability of different GIS and socio-economic data sets.

Title: Financial Schemes for Resilient Flood Recovery Book Description Financial schemes for flood recovery, if properly designed and implemented, might increase flood resilience. However, options for the increase of flood resilience during the recovery phase are to a large extent overlooked and the diversity of existing schemes shows that there has been a lack of consensus […]

Rupesh Shrestha (Germany) worked with Thomas Thaler from University of Natural & Life Sciences Vienna on multi-hazard perspective on building regulations for flood resilient cities. He mainly collected multi-functional technical measures of water retention and its effect on urban development of Vienna. Join paper is being prepared on challenges for the natural water retention measures implementation.
