VISFRIM

Vipava/Vipacco and Other Transboundary River Basins Flood Risk Management
Priority Axis 3

Protecting and promoting natural and cultural resources

Specific Objective: 
OS 3.3.
Investment Priority: 
PI 6f
Typology: 
Strategic
Overall Objective of the Project: 

The main goal of the VISFRIM project was to support an efficient management of hydraulic risk in cross-border basins by developing methodologies and technological tools functional to the implementation and update of existing Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs).

Project summary: 

The programme area is vulnerable to floods and this trend is tragically set to increase in future due to the ongoing intense urbanisation process and climate change. The VISFRIM project consequently originated to support an efficient management of hydraulic risk in cross-border basins. For this purpose, the initiative involved governmental bodies and local authorities, so to take into account different points of view and interests related to the theme of floods. In detail the eleven partners collaborated in various activities carried out in the international basins of the Isonzo and Vipacco rivers and in the interregional basin of the Lemene river, which allowed to update the picture of the hydraulic hazard in the examined territories.

Main results: 

The main outputs achieved by the project are listed below:

 

  1. the elaboration of guidelines regarding the use of drones in cross-border areas (WP 3.1)
  2. the realization of numerous topographic surveys in the Vipacco and Lemene basin (WP 3.1)
  3. the installation of two hydrometric monitoring sensors in the Lemene basin (WP 3.1)
  4. the collection and harmonization of numerous data relating to floods for the Lemene and Vipacco basins and the subsequent publication on interactive webgis (https://vode.arso.gov.si/visfrim/sl/ ; https://webgis2.cittametropolitana.ve.it/lizmap/index.php/view/map?repository=visfrim&project=Visfrim_Lemene_public ; https://idt2.regione.veneto.it/idt/webgis/viewer?webgisId=142; https://co-visfrim.it – WP 3.1 / WP 3.3)
  5. the development of flood modeling activities for the Vipava basin (WP 3.1)
  6. the development of flood modeling activities for the Lemene basin (WP 3.1)
  7. the development of a software for the cost-benefit analysis of flood mitigation measures (WP 3.2)
  8. the realization of a series of geognostic analysis of some river trunks inside the Lemene basin and the consequent elaboration of intervention proposals (WP 3.2)
  9. the elaboration of studies functional for the next construction of flood mitigation works in the municipality of Vipava (WP 3.2)
  10. the elaboration of a study functional for drafting the municipal act on navigation for the municipality of Nova Gorica (WP 3.2)
  11. the development of green information and communication technologies (ICT) as part of a non-structural flood mitigation measure, known as Citizen Observatory (WP 3.3)
  12. the construction of four small-scale no-regret flood risk reduction measures in the municipalities of Nova Gorica, Miren-Kostanjevica, Šempter-Vrtojba and Postojna (WP 4)
