Analysis of floods in 2010 in the eastern Slovakia

Abstract

The main cause of flood events that has occurred during May and early June 2010 in the Slovak republic and culminated in a historic flood situation was not only day of rich and intense rainfall, but high saturation of basins affected by the previous rainy season. The flood situation in May and June 2010 at river basins of the eastern Slovakia has brought great damage to property, such as landslides, damaged houses, gardens, cottages, damaged highways and local roads, bridges, cemeteries, flooded buildings, wells and mosquito strikes after floods. The paper is focused on the analysis of the flood situation in the spring of 2010 at the eastern Slovakia.
