Abstract: At times of flood, large wind-generated waves and intensive currents may be generated in wide flood beds. During ice-carrying floods, the drifting ice floes are driven towards the lee-side levees. Along the backwater reaches in canalized rivers or along the banks of impoundment reservoirs there is no protection in front of the levees. The conditions under which wind-generated ice jams are liable to form along the banks, as well as the potential measures for avoiding damages, are considered.
