Autorità di Bacino Distrettuale delle Alpi Orientali AAWA Office

The “ Autorità di Bacino Distrettuale delle Alpi Orientali ” is the office responsible for the implementation of the flood directive (2007/60/EC) into the Eastern Alps Water Basin District that covers over 40000 sqkm of territory included in several states; most of the territory belongs to but our competence extends also to a part of Slovenia (Isonzo tributary basin and Timavo river basin), Austria and Swiss.

2 EOPEN Session in ACRS 2019, Daejeon, Korea October 16-17, 2019, Daejeon Convention Center (DCC) PUC 1 - Overview

PUC 1 is focused on the management of flood risk with EO and non EO data. The demonstration site is , a city located in the Northeast of Italy, periodically affected by floods that cause damage for billions of Euros. AAWA that is the Authority responsible for the application of the directives 2007/60/EC and 2000/60/EC, to reduce the consequences of floods in Vicenza, has developed an Early Warning System (Flood forecasting system), active since 2012 with a bulletin to inform the Mayor of the predicted water level of the river. Ongoing work for PUC1: Improvement of the AMICO model (Flood forecasting system) including EO satellite data analises to derive information supporting risk assessment and flood prevention.

EOPEN Session in ACRS 2019, Daejeon, Korea 9 October 16-17, 2019, Daejeon Convention Center (DCC) EOPEN TEST: The VAIA storm, Italy (October 2018)

 The last intense event in our territory: the “VAIA” storm, was important to test the usage of new types of data. In particular we considered different products: either weather forecasts, or the EUMETSAT and COPERNICUS products to evaluate the effects of this event on the ground and the actual movement of the storm vs the flood forecast of our Early Warning System.  VAIA storm rain gauges measured over 700 mm in 5 days and winds were over 120 km/h, causing a lot of damages on the mountain basins of several important rivers (Piave, , Bacchiglione, Tagliamento and Livenza)  The analysis of this event shows unequivocally the importance of satellite data to support the hydrological reconstruction of the storm and also, in general, to support the entire system complementing data from the ground sensor network to improve (AMICO) flood forecasts.

EUMETSAT 24 October 2018, T=10 (%)

The Soil Water Index quantifies the moisture condition at various depths in the soil. It is mainly driven by the precipitation via the process of infiltration. Soil moisture is a very heterogeneous variable and varies on small scales with soil properties and drainage patterns. Satellite measurements integrate over relative large-scale areas, with the presence of vegetation adding complexity to the interpretation.
