The innovation is an integrated approach of the natural resources management in order to mitigate effects of floods and other natural hazards (erosion, landslides, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, rainfall and wind storms). The aim is to identify and restore natural environments by improving land use and vegetation coverage (forestland and agriculture land) in terms of environmental services by planting trees, check-dams installation, fences erection and bareland-burned areas grassseeding lands. There will be building pilot intervention modalities for bioengineering applications that would enable the stabilization of soil erosion and downstream sedimentation and waterfall retention. The aim is to promote a watershed renewable natural resources sustainable management through application of soil stabilization interventions and flood prevention models and simultaneously enhancing the capacity of local communities management.
Developed by ALBAFOREST CENTER
The innovation support the restoration of natural eco-systems of optimal forest management for enhancing the hydrological role of vegetation coverage in rainfall retention and flood prevention. This is done by planting trees and burned area’s re-planting and constructing check-dams and seeding soil stabilizing grasses in selected bare lands in selected Drini river catchments.
See more information about this level and the TRL and SRL levels.
The system’s main components have been individually tested, and an initial integration has been completed.
The project will demonstrate bio-engineering models intertwined that will be realized through: The main focus and objective/s of the project will be development of basic concepts of Drini watershed for using of forest effect on watershed`s hydrology in terms of flood prevention, and minimizing its consequences including use of forests and communities of tree species growing in and outside the forest.
