1. Corso di Sistemazione dei Bacini idrografici – a.a. 2004-2005 08/07/08 Ilaria Pretto UPSTREAM FLOOD ATTENUATION PROJECT: SLAD BROOK PILOT

2.  WORK with others: INVOLVE the community WATER21 CORE VALUES:  LOW COST – LONG TERM holistic permanent solutions  RESPECT NATURE: soft engineered naturalistic approach

3.  Hydrology  Hydraulic Modelling  Historical use and Geology ASPECTS TO BE CONSIDERED:  Topography

4.  Volume calculation: Eliminating the hydrograph’s peak PROPOSAL: Complete Flood Control Vol=144,000 m 3

5.  Completely disperse the flood volume upstream PROPOSAL: A Community Led Plan  Respect and increase biological diversification in micro-habitat  Possible hydro-power, fisheries, biomass & irrigation reservoirs  Improve the water quality & reduce drought
