Models !

In case the prediction given by the hydraulic-hydrologic-meteorological

modeling suggest the necessity of dam regulation and/or civil

protection measures, the procedure foresees to activate the regulations

and a warning message is given to the various Civil Protection Units of

the surrounding regions and river authorities.

A chain for Models

Hydrological modelling

given the meteorological predictions, the actual measures of discharge and dam

levels, allows to estimate the future evolution of the flood in the main rivers.

Hydrological modelling

Predicting

Key Points

!13

• integrated management plans following a standardised procedure

!• Smooth procedure, well structured, with external experts and internal

project managers

!• Technical studies and reports: 59-75% of the budget

!• very „intensive“ public involvement and engagement (18 – 29 % of the

budget)

!• problem in the implementation phase (sometimes only issues related to

acute flood risk prevail, it is needed a „suffer“ of……)


Recommendations

!14

From project view to a process view

Continuity (persons, process, public engagement and involvement,.. ,..) !• Organisation !

• Consolidation/institutionalisation/establishing of river corridor/area/watershed management as a standard !

• Public engagement


Recommendations

!15


!!• organisation of the working practice „institutionalisation/establishing “

!• networking and synergies

!• Working horizontal and transversal in between administrations

!• River watershed manager with „leadership“

!!

Recommendations

Organisation structure

!16

!• Consensus based decision making process

!• Legal ancoring, improve the bindingness

!• Pilot projects to show the potential success

!• Careful planning of the implementation phase

!• Catalogue of measures not too general and not too

detailed, and not defined too soon,

!• Intensive collaboration

!• Regular monitoring of implementation

Key behaviours for success

Recommendations


!17

!• Continuity

!• Information exchange and transparency

!• Translation/adaptation of technical language to the

demands of the involved stakeholders

!• Careful planning of public participation: where, who,

when, what, how

Public participation process:

Recommendations


!18

Improving meanwhile

!• Exchanging information (e.g. Alpine Convention)

!• Performing studies (i.e. through European Projects,

e.g. KulturRisk)

Recommendations
