Abstract
Integrated water basin management and risk assessment through advanced modeling techniques S. ~attorelli', M. coccato2, E. rank^ & A. 0stan2 I Padua University Italy, BETA Studio srl, Italy. 2~~~~ Studio srl, Italy. Abstract This papa presents some interesting aspects of a comprehensive study on the Adige River Catchment (Italy) for the hydraulic risk assessment and the evaluation of different alternatives for flood risk reduction. The application of a new software tool meant to model fluvial and floodplain hydraulics is described. This soRware is a combined one-dimensional two-dimensional model where the ID channel network and the 2D rectangular grid hydrodynamics are solved simultaneously. The hydraulic model has been applied to simulate the inundation processes on river reaches located in the middle and lower part of the catchment. To take the most of this sophisticate model accurate topographic data where required; the use of an airborne remote sensing technique to collect and process topo
