1 Bayerisches Landesamt für Umwelt Torrential flood risk management in Bavaria Dr.-Ing. Andreas Rimböck Unit: flood protection, torrent control Torrential flood risk management in Bavaria content History in torrent control Responsibilities in Bavaria Flood directive procedure for torrents Risk management concerning torrents Outlook: torrential hazard areas, torrent developement concepts

2 History of torrent control Ever since torrent control follows an integral and sustainable approach Therefore risk management is praxis in alpine municipalities, e.g. forest management, prevention, Improvements towards better RM are possible Especially concerning coordination between all involved parties Adaptions conc. hunt, meadows, ownership Bioengineering Dams for stabilization Large dam for retention Channel improvement communal organisation of Bavaria / Public authorities Bundesland / State Bezirke / districts (7) Landkreis / countys (71) and countyfree cities (25) Gemeinde / Municipality (2056)

3 responsibilities Torrent control: free state of Bavaria (new constructions and maintenance of existing structures!) Therefore also for implementation of flood directive Aschaffenburg Bad Kissingen Ansbach Donauwörth Kronach Nürnberg 17 water resources management authorities Ingolstadt Hof Weiden Regensburg Landshut Deggendorf München Kempten Weilheim Rosenheim Traunstein Torrential flood risk management in Bavaria Bavarian torrents km² catchments km length km developed About transverse structures (dams, ramps, ) About longitudinal structures 190 km alpine torrent sections at risk in the sense of flood directive (average slope: 3,7%)

4 Assessment of risk in torrents possible risk No risk possible risk Potentially flooded area (alluvial fan, waterrelated soil, ) Subject of protection (human health, environment, cultural heritage and economic activity River / torrent Σ length pos. risk Σ total length > 66% -> whole section potentially at risk Torrential flood risk management in Bavaria Scenarios within flood directive Frequent flood: (5), 10, (20) years Medium flood: 100 years Extreme flood: 1,5 * HQ100 No climate factor for hazard maps!!!!

5 procedure Due to time restrictions, simplifications: Hydrology: special torrential rainfall runoff model only in single cases Hydraulic: numerical 2D calculation No blockage No debris flows in the regarded torrents Bedload: all-inclusive addition to clearwater (0 up to 40%) Procedure for risk management plans state Level Free state of Bavaria River basin level 4 river basin districts Interregional level 20 (17) planning areas Regional level 46 (34) planning units Local level cities and communities with a special flood risk Bavarian framework methods, goals, statewide measures, catalogue of measures Information event Risk Assessment and selection of measures district government, supported by technical authorities, participation of associations and infrastructures Risk Assessment and selection of measures Water resources management authorities, participation and consulting by municipalities Flood risk management plan Strategic Environmental Assessment, (inter-)national vote, publication, reporting Summary of risk assessment and selection of measures No torrent specific procedure!

6 Gefahren- und Risikokarten für Alpine Naturgefahren Legal consequences of flood directive hazard maps basis for legal setting of flood prone areas / torrential hazard areas Restrictions: building zones are forbidden (exeptions only for fulfilment of 9 preconditions, one of that: municipality has no other areas to develop!!!) Single buildings are also forbidden (exeptions only for fulfilment of 4 preconditions) no different hazard zones!!! 11 LfU / Referat 61 / Dr.-Ing. Andreas Rimböck / hazard mapping planned procedure high demand on exact data (as exact as possible) -> acceptance of prohibitation developement of a technical concept on modern basis: amendment of existing technical rules and administrative standards (e.g. European flood directive) synergies to the assembly of integrated torrent development concepts main topics: hydrology woody debris and bedload special scenarios (log jams, debris flows, extreme event, ) Technical questions

7 Basis for concept: OptiMeth overview, preparation disposition, loads main processes runoff formation, mobilization of sediment Evaluation, feedback torrential runoff, mass displacement debris flow further consideration Gefahren- und Risikokarten für Alpine Naturgefahren situation Bavaria water risk (flood, debris flow, ) geo - risks (rockfall, landslides) avalanches IAN information system alpine natural hazards historical events historical events historical events possibly hazard index map debris flow (currently first considerations) hazard index map geological risks IÜG * - information system flood endangered areas water sensitive areas (soil map) single survey reports legend: single survey reports hazard and risk maps flood (flood direct.) ** preliminary secured, fixed flood areas, future: torrential hazard areas single survey reports 14 No direct legal consequence Legal consequence * whole Bavaria ** only areas with significant risk LfU / Referat 61 / Dr.-Ing. Andreas Rimböck /

8 Gefahren- und Risikokarten für Alpine Naturgefahren Further elements of RM in torrents 15 LfU / Referat 61 / Dr.-Ing. Andreas Rimböck / Torrential flood risk management in Bavaria Situation significant change of boundary conditions, e.g. technique nature others society land use current protection system number protection elements / structures more structures = increasing maintenance effort!!! construction of protection structures under totally different cirumstances! interactions?? protection structures!!! past today time 16

9 vision: integrated developement concepts for torrential catchments target: optimized suitable and adjustable protection system A1 E F A2 D B G C A) maintenance of the structures in 2 phases A1) mid term (up to 10 years) A2) long term (20-50 years) B) monitoring of the further development C) restoration protection forest, no more maintenance D) no measures necessary E) new construction / hightening of barrage G) evacuation plan, land use planning F) option (to cope with possible future changes): adaptation of dike height italic: new approaches / alternatives comp. to "classical integrated protection concepts" Torrential flood risk management in Bavaria loose-leaf-collection torrent A introduction B technical concept hazard mapping I introduction II preparation III hydrology IV woody debris V sediment VI hydraulic C integrated developement concepts
