Flash Flood and Erosion Prevention, Protection and Mitigation measures in Sensitive and Protected Areas

This paper gives an overview of the research related to flash flood and erosion prevention and mitigation measures conducted on the Dubračina River catchment area in Vinodol Valley (Croatia), with special emphasis on its sub-catchment Salt Creek. The purpose of this paper is to show the possibilities of applying different measures focused on prevention and mitigation of flash floods, with emphasis on those with long-term effect on erosion and landslide affected areas that can be applied on entire catchment area and/or riverbed itself. The combination of extreme rainfall event can potentially form the flash flood, followed by erosion sediment transportation and activation of landslides in the area of Dubračina River, including torrential tributaries. Such event could present a serious threat to downstream areas, especially to the center of the town Crikvenica.
