Evaluation of flooding scenarios using EFFORTS and PROSIM software on the Reno basin

 

On the river Reno basin (Italy) has ben implemented, in various stages (2010-2015), for the Civil Protection of Emilia Romagna and for the Reno Basin Technical Service, a system for outflows forecasting and for the regulation management of Cavo Napoleonico during flood events.

In this project, EFFORTS's real-time forecasting functionalities have been extended by employing PROSIM software for creating and simulating scenarios based on operating hypothesis of hydraulic regulation.

The HEC-RAS hydrodynamic model has been used downstream of the TOPKAPI hydrological model, including PROSIM off-line simulation software.

In operational situations, PROSIM and EFFORTS can be used to simulate the flood wave propagation along the waterway and the effects of maneuvers on control structures along the river.

During planning activities, the system can simulate the effects of new interventions (flood detention areas, re-sectioning, regulation maneuvers) on determination of design waves and their propagation in the riverbed.

 

 

 
 

Supply of European Flood Forecasting Operational Real Time System (EFFORTS) and multi-Purpose Reservoir Optimal Dynamic Management (PRODAM) software system and related services.

 

The project aimed at the implementation and customization of a real-time flood forecasting system on the Fuchun River catchment (about 31300 Km2) and at the optimization of water release from the Fuchun dam (drainage area 31300 Km2 total storage capacity 874000000 m3,), upstream of the town of HangZhou, PRC.

 
 

Real-time flood forecasting on the Tiber river (Italy)

 

PROGEA has realized the first real-time flood forecasting system for Tiber river in 1992 using the software EFFORTS. In 2005 the system was widened with the integration of distributed and physically based hydrologic model TOPKAPI. In 2010 the system was revised to include the most recent functionalities of the software EFFORTS and of the models TOPKAPI and PAB, for simulation of rainfall-runoff and flood routing.

 
 

Water resource management for the Como lake (Italy)

 

PROGEA collaborates since 1997 with the Consortium of Adda to the management of water release from the lake of Como. The Decision Support System PRODAM has been revised many times though the years. It is a reference point for technicians of the Consortium. In 2010 PRODAM DSS was integrated with EFFORTS flood forecasting system to allow real-time flood forecasts in the Adda river basin, which is the main tributary of Como lake.

 
 

Drought forecasting: the projects PEDRO and PEDRITO (Italy)

 

PROGEA collaborates with ARPA-SIMC Emilia Romagna to the realization of a system for the forecast of droughts in the Po river basin and in the catchments of Emilia-Romagna region. Inside the system that has been realized by ARPA, hydrologic model TOPKAPI is used to simulate rainfall-runoff and hydrologic behavior of the catchment at daily time scale. TOPKAPI not only provides estimates of rivers flow, but it also provides information on water percolation to groundwater.
