  • Flood Risk Management Plan for Riga City
    About plan Flood Risk Management Plan for Riga City Different territories of Riga City flood for various reasons (spring spate, intense precipitation, wind surges, malfunctioning melioration and rainwater drainage systems) or for combinations of reasons, posing a threat to residential areas, manufacturing or public buildings and other forms of infrastructure. In addition, flood may cause environment pollution from manufacturing companies and present risks to monuments of architecture and culture, and it potentially endangers specially protected nature territories and sites. The most serious flood risks that endanger Riga City are connected with wind surges in Riga Bay (as opposed to spring spate, downpours or melting snow); therefore, the most significant flood prevention measures are linked with protection against flooding caused by wind surges. Observations so far indicate that simultaneous occurrence of spring spate and wind surges is impossible, and since the risk of spring spate is lower, then, whilst primarily protecting territories from sea water surges, they will also be protected from flooding caused by spring spate. According to the climate change forecasts, the frequency and extent of flooding in future will grow, thus increasing the risk of flooding even more. To ensure sustainable development of the city it is necessary to reduce the flood risk endangering inhabitants and property by balancing environment, social and economic interests. The reduction of risk will considerably lessen the damage that flood could cause the owners and governments at all levels. The aim of flood risk management is to manage the flood risk in a way that the balance is obtained among the environmental, social and economic needs that are and will be influenced by flood risk prevention measures.
