As response to the growing disapproval of public opinion with mere technical countermeasures torrent engineers try to plan and implement "near-nature" control techniques, but up till now principles how to do this have been laid down only insufficiently. This report tries to define targets and principles for such works in a broader environmental context. Additionally to the main goal "Protection of people from flood and sediment disasters", environment-orientated countermeasures have the target "As little negative influence on environment and landscape as possible" as far as that can be done without interfering with the main goal. Such techniques cannot be used in torrent reaches, where debris flows may occur, and their application is restricted in densely settled or urbanized areas. The report gives an overview on environment orientation targets, including landscape and recreation, and discusses some aspects of mountain-stream ecology, the knowledge of which is essential. As a result the report lists up principles for the design of environment-orientated defense measures in torrents and creeks and gives some examples. |
