Slurry walls in flood mitigation and water management

Abstract

The intensification of flood events globally necessitates effective mitigation strategies. This study evaluates the efficacy of slurry walls as a flood mitigation and water management tool across various geographical settings. Through a systematic review of literature and case studies, combined with an analysis of performance data, the study explores the hydraulic performance, environmental impacts, and economic considerations of slurry walls. Results indicate that slurry walls offer a viable and cost-effective solution for flood-prone areas, improving resilience and environmental sustainability. The findings aim to inform civil engineering practices and policy-making in flood management.
