Part of the territory of Riga constantly suffers from floods and every year significant economic and moral losses are caused to the owners of the flooded areas. In addition, in connection with the global warming related climate change, the flood risk and the risk of having the bank wash-down in the territory of Riga are increasing. Therefore, in order to effectively prepare the city of Riga for climate changes and to reduce the negative impacts of floods on its territory, an in-depth research was needed. The main objective of the project was to identify the hydrologic factors in a timely manner that in relation to the future climate change could negatively affect the citizens of Riga, the economy, as well as preservation of the natural and cultural heritage and to develop solutions how either to prevent or to reduce these effects.
Project implementation: year 2010 – 2012
