03Overheating of land due to lack of water resulting in warming of the atmosphere

Implication:

The more side ditches, skidding roads and tracks of forest machinery, the more water is taken away rapidly into rivers causing floods in lower altitudes while the forest growth in the mountains become dehydrated.

Paradox:

Unaware of what we do we take water away from the mountains (dehydrating natural environment – forest growth, trees) while at the same time invest a fortune to construct dams in the lowlands so that we could protect human lives and property against floods.

priciny povodni

Causes of floods

  1. New forest roads grow in numbers daily. As do the side ditches which swiftly drain the rainwater into the rivers below.
  2. Additionally, side ditches are added to the existing forest roads where they were originally not designed.
  3. Logging tracks used for timber hauling by tractors turn into wide trenches that also drain rainwater into the ditches by the forest roads and ultimately into the rivers.

Solutions

Following my knowledge and observations I suggest that specific measures should be taken as soon as possible in order to:Reclaim logging tracks consistently and immediately after logging has been completed by transverse agitation of the compressed soil with a suitable excavator from top down;
