Description

Floodings cause economic, social and environmental damage and lives loss. In Albania, the rivers constitute the highest flood risk. Basic knowledge for apprehending the flood risk concerns the frequency and intensity of floods, the exposition of humans and assets to flooding, their sensitivity to floodwater and their susceptibility to suffer damage. My study case is located in Buna River area. This is a zone with frequent flood risk. A detailed analysis of the current state, problems and issues of the area is structured around topic areas elaborated in detail. The assessments, maps and developed catalogues of measures shall fulfil the obligations of the “European Directive 2007/60/EC on the assessment and management of flood risks”. According to the Directive of flood risk management there have been addressed all aspects concerning floods risk management, including prevention, protection and preventive measures.
