The impact of changes in land use on reductions in peak floods

Year, pages: 2018, 69 - 77

The aim of this paper is to compare changes in land use in the cadastre of the Vrbovce village during the period from the first military mapping (1764–1787) to 2017, and their effect on the generation of peak floods. Using the Curve Number method (CN method) for this comparison, a map from the first military mapping (1764–1787), a map from the second military mapping (1810–1869), and a current land use map (2017) were used. The current land use map (2017) was created using the local plan of the village of Vrbovce, an agricultural land map from the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS), an orthophoto map, and a land use map (Corine, 2005). The research was performed in the basin of an unnamed creek on the southern side of the Teplica River, an unnamed creek on the northern side of the Teplica River, Lulovský Creek, and Haluzníkov Creek. The first land use design was proposed as a measure for reducing peak floods and compared to the current land use in the basins of these creeks. Contour strip cropping was proposed for arable land in the Haluzníkov Creek basin for reducing peak flood rates; the results were compared to the current land use map of this creek basin.
