tulvasuojelualueisiin
Tulvasuojelualueisiin, often translated as flood protection areas or floodplains, are designated zones established to manage and mitigate the impacts of flooding. These areas are crucial for both natural ecosystems and human settlements. Ecologically, floodplains are dynamic environments that support unique biodiversity and are essential for maintaining water quality and recharging groundwater. They act as natural buffers, absorbing excess water during periods of high rainfall or snowmelt, thereby reducing the severity of downstream floods.
From a human perspective, tulvasuojelualueisiin are often developed with specific land-use regulations to minimize flood damage.
