- Abstract
- Flood processes and effects are examined, concerning
two rivers in an urbanized area in North-Western
Italy (Piedmont Cuneo Plain). In May 2008, some areas in
Northern Italy were struck by intense and persistent rainfall.
In the Cuneo province (Southern Piedmont), floodplain with
some urban areas was inundated over ca. ten square kilometres,
and the city of Savigliano (about 21 000 inhabitants)
was particularly hit by flood. A purposely-made historical
research has evidenced approximately fifty flood events as
having occurred since 1350 in the Savigliano area. Based
upon historical data, both documents and maps, GIS (Geographical
Information System) technique and field surveys
were used to quantitatively assess the growing urbanization
of the city and to describe flood processes and effects over
years. This work aims to describe the dynamic behaviour of
the 2008 flood, also comparing it to past events, in particular
those that occurred in 1896. It is emphasized how the knowledge
of past events can be helpful in reducing urban flooding. (literal)
