Poplava

Poplava u Alicanteu, Španija 1997.g.

Poplava je stanje vode, kod kojeg je vodostaj rijeke ili drugih voda znatno iznad normale. Sistemi za odbranu od poplava čine odbrambeni nasipi.

Prema uzrocima nastanka poplave se mogu podijeliti na:

1. poplave nastale zbog jakih padavina
2. poplave nastale zbog nagomilavanja leda u rijekama
3. poplave nastale zbog klizanja zemljišta ili potresa,
4. poplave nastale zbog rušenja brane ili ratnih razaranja.

S obzirom na vrijeme formiranja vodenog talasa poplave se mogu razvrstati na:

1. mirne poplave - poplave na velikim rijekama kod kojih je potrebno deset i više sati za formiranje velikog vodenog talasa
2. bujične poplave - poplave na brdskim vodotocima kod kojih se formira veliki vodeni talas za manje od deset sati,
3. akcidentne poplave - poplave kod kojih se trenutno formira veliki vodeni talas rušenjem vodoprivrednih ili hidroenergetskih objekata
