Throughout history, floods have played one of the most important roles in soil formation,
maintenance and modification of soil fertility. Flooding of rivers left mud full of organic
matter in the fields, salts were washed out of the soil, and a large amount of water was
retained in the soil profile. Urbanization on the banks of rivers, regulation of water flow,
and construction of dams for flood control narrowed river beds and increased hydraulic
flow, resulting in greater concentration of flood waves during floods and shortened flood
control times. Since the beginning of the 21st century, numerous large floods have
occurred across Europe. Various climate models suggest an increase in the frequency and
intensity of future flood events. Dams were built to accommodate flood waves with a
return period of 50 years on smaller watercourses and 100 years on large rivers. Floods
with higher return periods may or may not occur at all. In this respect, dams are no
guarantee that towns... and agricultural land can be successfully protected from flooding, so
their enhancement is questionable. In recent decades, there has been extensive debate about
the use of agricultural land for flood protection of cities and industrial areas, about the cost
of land and agriculture. Since private property is involved in both cases, a compromise
solution should be found that satisfies all parties. The main theme of the COST project
LAND4FLOOD is to consider all aspects of flood risk management and land management,
such as.: geographical, hydrological and hydraulic, ecological (soil pollution, compaction,
water retention, ecological services, habitat restoration), agricultural (agricultural
development in the area reserved for temporary water retention), economic (how to
compensate damages or provide incentives for flood retention, public subsidies), public
participation (how to ensure the participation of landowners), property rights issues (how
to allow temporary flood retention and what does it mean for agricultural use) and
sociological. The aim of this paper is to present some reflections on flood risk management
and its implications for land and agricultural development in the EU, as well as some
considerations on the implementation of the NBS in Serbia from the perspective of flood
protection, land protection and agricultural development.
