The role of debris-mud flows in devastation of settlement infrastructure in the Flysch Carpathians

Year, pages: 2002, 59 - 73

The paper presents potential threats caused by debris and mud flows in the Flysch Carpathians. There were 6 disastrous floods in the Carpathians during the last 50 years. They caused great changes in relief and destruction of economic infrastructure. Debris and mud flows are created during long term and heavy precipitation and they are of great destructive strength. Morphodynamic zones in the Carpathians with different frequencies of debris and mud flows were distinguished. A typology of flows was also presented according to the size of heavy precipitation, geological structure and relief.
