The study clarifies the economic consequences and effects of programs designed to protect or otherwise manage flood plains. A firm basis is established to appropriately distinguish between the source of change of a flood plain development from its economic effects. The study makes the following major findings: Where the development in the flood plain will be the same with and without the project, benefits attributable to the project will equal total damages reduced. Where there is project induced growth, the benefits attributable to the project are equal to the net increase in productivity of the economy due to the relocation of activities both inside and outside the flood plain. Benefits from project induced growth (so-called 'land enhancement' benefits) can be measured by the difference between the net income (profits) of activities which move into the flood plain with protection and the net income they could earn outside the flood plain. In the absence of direct observation of change in net income, benefits from project induced growth can be measured in terms of simulating damages reduced to new activities that would locate in the flood plain with protection.

This book explores the benefits of using risk analysis techniques in the evaluation of flood protection structures, and examines the results of the environmental impact assessment for selected planned flood protection projects. The objective of the book is to propose a methodology for environmental impact assessment in water management. In more detail, flood mitigation measures are investigated with the aim of selecting the best option for the approval process. This methodology is intended to streamline the process of environmental impact assessment for structures in the field of the water management. The book’s environmental impact assessment system for water management structures analyzes the respective risks for different options. The results are intended to support the selection of future projects that pose minimum risks to the environment. Comparison of alternatives and designation of the optimal variant are implemented on the basis of selected criteria that objectively describe the characteristics of the planned alternatives and their respective impacts on the environment. The proposed Guideline for environmental impact assessment of flood protection objects employs multi-parametric risk analysis, a method intended to not only enhance the transparency and sensitivity of the evaluation process, but also successfully addresses the requirements of environmental impact assessment systems in the European Union. These modifications are intended to improve the outcomes of the environmental impact assessment, but may also be applied to other infrastructure projects. The case study proves that the primary aim – to improve transparency and minimize subjectivity in the environmental impact assessment process specific to flood protection structure projects – is met for the planned project in Kružlov, Slovakia.
