Floods events occur frequently in Turkey.
Therefore, like earthquake and other natural disasters, floods also should be
taken in to measure in advance as well. Therefore, with all other operations, constructing
flood protection structures with a good planning and project, their proper
using and their protection is important for ensuring that floods do not become
a disaster. With lack of precaution listed above sometimes flood put huge
effects on areas where are not identified as risky areas on flood risk
assessment maps. In this study, primarily, the concept of flood, the effects, causes,
types and the principles of protection from flood are discussed. Secondly, the
problems in the flood protection structures located in Konya province, Turkey, were
exemplified by photographs and evaluated. Lastly the sources of the problems,
their effects on infrastructures, farm lands and domestics identified and some
suggestion are made.
