Upstream-downstream schemes and their instruments

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Amidst the wider shift towards catchment-oriented flood management, the concern for the interrelations between upstream and downstream along rivers seems to be still in its infancy. Although it is generally acknowledged that upstream measures can positively or negatively influence the flood situation in downstream areas, i.e. by attenuating flood discharge (e.g. flood storage) or accelerating the flow of water (e.g. linear flood defence), literature on how to implement upstream-downstream relations is scarce. Instruments and respective policies can foster or hamper the installation of upstream-downstream schemes, if enacted accordingly, to account for the positive and negative effects at the scale of river sections or (sub)catchments to regulate, mandate, incentivize or compensate actions according to their wider effects. This chapter provides an overview of the academic debate on the nascent catchment-oriented flood protection policy and its instruments. Instruments and policy approaches are discussed that can facilitate the implementation of spatial instruments for catchment-based flood-risk management, i.e. support the implementation of measures in upstream-downstream schemes. The chapter considers regulatory instruments, for example land readjustment, directives, or regulations, as well as financial instruments (Economic Policy Instruments, EPI) such as compensation schemes (see also Kis et al., this volume), such as subsidies, voluntary upstream-downstream compensations, and tradable development rights (TDR) or payments for ecosystem services (PES). Based on literature review and empirical findings from case studies, it provides an overview of factors that influence or determine the applicability as well as the implementation obstacles of such instruments and schemes.
