Many floodplains are excluded from development because the floods cause considerable damage to people’s lives and properties. Systems of hydraulic engineering structures for flood protection working with hydropower facilities are analysed to solve the problem of reducing the flood control volume of hydropower station. Methods of reducing the risk of flooding in the river basin by means of a distributed system of detention self-regulated dams are discussed. A geoinformation method used to justify the selection of parameters of such dams, primarily location of dam that minimize impact on the environment (ecological factor), is presented. In the present study, a system of multipurpose flood protection self-regulated dams is analysed as the measures for mitigation of flash floods in the Far Eastern region of Russia.

Willow sawfly (Nematus oligospilus (Hymenoptera Tenthredinidae)) a species recently discovered in New Zealand has spread throughout the country In Hawkes Bay it is a threat to willow trees many of which are an important part of river flood control systems A trial was conducted in Napier to test the efficacy of the insecticide Spinosad against sawflies infesting golden willows (Salix alba var vitellina) Insecticide was applied once at each of two sites while a third site was used as an untreated control Larval densities were measured on two trees from each site immediately before the experiment began and for 28 days afterwards At both treated sites 100 mortality occurred within seven days of insecticide application The results showed that Spinosad can provide effective control of willow sawfly

This paper is promoting the awareness that nature and engineering structure can co-exist together. Natural floodplain inundation is usually restrained to separate floodplain lands for human uses. In contrary to conventional flood control systems, a vision of restoring floodplain inundation in Kuching Bypass Floodway is presented as a flood mitigation plan. Modelling of the approach indicates a reduction of flooded areas up to 61%. By means of modelling, portions of floodplains are virtually preserved in their natural states and functions, a role that often has been undervalued. Floodplain permits storage and conveyance of floodwaters. At the same time, it provides replenishment of the adjoining wetlands. The strategy proves beneficial to both human and natural systems. It also calls for a systemic change in flood management that we can live with the natural forces instead of forbidding them.
