Selection of the Best Variant of Flood Protection

In the current period of scientific and technological progress, new concepts, tools and methods of solution must fulfill the principles of a democratic society that dictate us to ensure the quality of the human environment for future generations. Part of this challenging task is the timely assessment of the potential impacts of the proposed activity on the environment and public health with acceptable environmental risk. For this reason, it is necessary to develop the theory and to apply the methods for the systematic investigation of the consequences of projects, constructions, plants, facilities and other interventions on the environment and the population. The aim of the paper is to analyze the current state of the impact assessment process and to point out the existing methods used in the impact assessment process. The work points out the possibility of improving existing methods of impact assessment of proposed activities by applying risk analysis in the process of applying the impact of water structures on the environment. The use of risk analysis methods to assess the impact of activities on the environment and population health is undoubtedly an original and innovative proposal. The paper has a clearly defined original methodology and solution concept.
