3. Operation and malfunction of diking systems
In addition to the fundamental concepts presented above, the management of diking systems requires in-depth knowledge of their normal operation and possible malfunctions, both on a global scale and at the level of individual structures. This implies, first and foremost, a more precise appreciation of their interactions with their environment.
3.1 Reciprocal interactions between diking systems and their zones of influence
Hydraulic and morphological phenomena, as well as other actions generated by meteorology (wind, sun, rain...), man (unauthorized work, passage of pipes...), vegetation and animals, condition the operation and malfunction of diking systems. The multiple actions to which dikes are subjected, as well as the heterogeneity of the structures and...
