Flood control measures along the river Tanaro in Asti, Italy: Case Study

The case study focuses on strategies implemented to manage and mitigate the risk of flooding in the Asti region, which has historically been vulnerable to floods, particularly from the Tanaro River.

Key measures include:
Infrastructure Improvements: Construction of levees, embankments, and flood retention basins to reduce flood risks.

Early Warning Systems: Implementation of advanced monitoring and early warning systems to alert communities of potential flood events.

Riverbank Restoration: Efforts to restore natural riverbanks and enhance the region’s ecological resilience.
Community Engagement: Raising public awareness and involving local communities in flood preparedness and response efforts.

The case study highlights how these integrated measures have significantly reduced the impact of flooding, improved local resilience, and set an example for sustainable flood management in other flood-prone regions.
