1. Inhibiting the growth of flood risk
1.1. Maintaining and increasing the existing
retention capacity of catchments in a water
region
1.2. Elimination of, avoiding land development
growth in areas with particular flood hazard
1.3. Defining the conditions for possible
development of land protected with levees
1.4. Avoiding the growth of and defining the
conditions for land development in areas with a
low (p = 0.2%) probability of flood occurrence
2. Minimisation of existing flood risk
2.1. Containment of existing flood risk
2.2. Reduction of existing land development
2.3. Decreasing the susceptibility of structures
and communities
3. Improvement of the flood management
system
3.1. Improvement of forecasting and warning
of meteorological and hydrological hazards
3.2. Increasing the effectiveness of response of
persons, companies, and public institutions
3.3. Increasing the effectiveness of rebuilding
and restoration of the conditions from before
a flood
3.4. Implementation and improvement of the
efficacy of post-flood analyses
3.5. Building legal and financial instruments
discouraging or encouraging specific
behaviours improving flood safety

Achievement of flood risk management objectives leads to determining flood risk
reduction indices, which is a result of compiling two effects: identifying measures in
flood risk management plans and projected measures in future versions of the plans
(update of plans). Identified non-technical measures (natural flood protection) in a
catchment/river basin indicate the need to employ risk quality and quantity reduction estimation methods, whereas with identified technical measures determining
risk quantity reduction can be done by hydraulic modelling. In the area of future
interventions, there is stressed the need to utilise the appropriate methodology of
evaluating future flood control projects, projected in the course of updating the flood
risk management plans.
The documents of strategic and overriding significance for all national and regional
sector plans and programmes which existed in Poland until the implementation of
flood risk management plans, under which there were projected measures or investments influencing the condition of water resources and water conservation objectives
resulting from the Framework Water Directive [61], were MasterPlans. They were
