RIVER BRENTA DEFENCE by CONTROLLED FLOODING Physically
INTERPRAEVENT 2008 – Conference Proceedings, Vol. 1 and protected hazard areas. Increasing the amount of vulnerable infrastructure increases the risk of damage and there is always a residual risk in hazard areas that have been protected RIVER BRENTA DEFENCE BY CONTROLLED FLOODING physically. It is not always feasible to hinder further development in already developed. Rethinking traditional protection policies and finding alternatives to raising levees will be MichelleMichele Ferri111 &, FabioFabio GiuriatoGiuriato11 necessary in the future. ABSTRACT REFERENCES The way to tackle the even more frequent and harmful floodevents, is to adopt efficient Berg, H., Simenstad, K. A. P., Danielsen, E., Endre, E., Horn, C,.
