Barriers and retention basins against natural hazards in mountain areas
Changing precipitation, especially during extreme events, will lead to an increasing risk of natural hazards: like flash floods, mudslides, etc. The installation of additional protective structural infrastructures can reduce these risks, e.g. by additional barriers, retention basins.

Avalanche hazard mitigation strategies assessed by cost effectiveness analyses and cost benefit analyses – Evidence from Davos Fuchs, S., Thöni, M., McAlpin, M.C., Gruber, U., Bründl, M. Switzerland Flooding

Cost benefit analyses for avalanche protection with the help of snow fences and evacuation was done (Positive Benefit-Cost-Ratios)
Benefits of local structural protection to mitigate torrent-related hazards. Holub, M. and Fuchs, S. Austria Flooding

Cost-Benefit-Analysis for conventional mitigation concept, with retaining and filtering barriers and retention basins in a mountain region, at a test site of creek "Auenbach", results in a low benefit-cost ratio (lower than 1)
