Abstract

In the context of flood risk assessment and urban territory protection, the proposed research is focused on the definition of flood hazard maps by using high-resolution Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) obtained by a Light Detection And Ranging [LiDAR], remote sensing technique. The hydrologic/hydraulic model was calibrated on a flood event occurred on June 2014 on Lama Balice, ephemeral stream located in Puglia (Southern Italy), using the water levels observed during field campaign. In particular the analysis was performed for the definition of hazard maps with return periods of 30, 200 and 500 years, exploiting a combined scheme of a mono/two dimensional flood propagation approach for the delineation of flooded areas. The conducted research gives a significant contribution for the assessment of techniques of dynamic hazard and risk evaluation, in order to support institutions (like Basin Authorities and Civil Protection agencies) and professionals, in the context of the application of recent European legislation on flood risk protection (Floods Directive 2007/60/EC) and for European programs of scientific research (as Horizon 2020) in ungauged karstic catchment.
