erosion of territories

Prykarpattia is one of the areas in Europe most prone to floods. Recent environmental research predicts a trend towards an increase in these dangerous phenomena in the Carpathian region of Ukraine. The analysis of the losses caused by floods in Lviv region shows that the allocation of funds for the elimination of the consequences of floods is growing every year. It is necessary to introduce comprehensive regulation of riverbeds, taking into account the development of channel processes and forecasting possible changes under the influence of hydraulic structures.

The diversity of landscape conditions in the territory of Ukraine is caused by the peculiarities of the geomorphological structure, zonal climatic, hydrogeological and seismic factors, which generally determines the area of distribution of exogenous geological processes (EGP). Most of these processes, namely landslides, karst formations, flooding and erosion of territories, mudflows are activated under natural conditions.
