Ochrona przeciwpowodziowa na obszarze Regionu Wodnego Górnej Odry

In the article focuses on the Kłodnicki Canal and the Raciborz Reservoir as elements of floods protection. Showed the Region characteristic and the biggest floods who frequented it (1903, 1939, 1997, 2010). The most tragic flood was in 1997, when the water level was 10.45 m (water guge in Miedonia). After this flood, works on increasing flood protection started (“Program for Odra river–2006”, “Odra river basin flood protection”. The effect of programs is the constriction of the Racibórz Reservoir, which is to be completed in 2020. Other works are also undertaken (increase of retention in urbanized areas, construction of small retention reservoirs on smaller rivers), which ultimately are to affect the reduction of flood risk in the Region.
