INNOVATIVE DESIGNS OF WATER SUPPLY STRUCTURES THAT REDUCE THE IMPACT OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

Abstract

The article provides data on innovative designs of culverts that reduce the impact of emergency situations. As a result, devastating emergencies occur, and both material and human losses occur.

Culverts are one of these hydraulic structures. These structures serve to transport water at the intersections of channels with natural and artificial barriers: water channels, dry ravines, hills, canals, roads. These include pipelines, storm water culverts, gutters, aqueducts, mudflow culverts, ductwork, and hydraulic tunnels. When designing a culvert structure, it is necessary to ensure the hydraulic conditions specified by the project, both on the structure itself and on the section of the channel that connects to it.
