Summary:

Extreme weather conditions, including floods, are affecting our country increasingly often. They cause a threat to human lives and huge economic, social and natural damage. Flood damage occurring in agriculturally-developed areas include, e.g. contamination of arable soil with chemical or biological substances, but also losses in agricultural crops, gathered supplies and farming machines.The aim of the study is to present reclamation procedures as one of the possible methods for settling flood damage. Land reclamation can be carried out as a part of post-consolidation management. Its aim is to restore usable properties of farming land damaged, for example, by flood. Areas recommended for reclamation are presented in the objectives of the land consolidation project. The direction of rendering a given area productive depends on many factors, which mainly include arrangements of the local zoning plan, social and economic needs and technical conditions of the land.
