Which Alps tomorrow in the Objective 3 vision?
Prevention against risks of avalanches and
flooding RDT, innovation and SMEs
network Environment in link with the Alpine
Convention
Major themes proposed by CE in the new
Alpine Space
Prevention against risk is considered as a key
element for the future of Alps, not only in order
to assure safety for human communities and
protect environment and landscape, but also to
encourage the sustainable economic integration of
SMEs, so increasing the competitiveness for
alpine territories

Interreg III project impact evaluation
Technical effects
Did the experiences changed in Catchrisk project
influence the technical tools in the day-to-day
work of our institution? To what extent were the
project results disseminated in our local
technical community?
Legal effects
Have the project guide-lines been exploited in
documents or acts having legal relevance in our
territories?
Effects on local perception
Did the project contribute to enhance in our
institution and in the local actors in our
territory, the interest in european territorial
cooperation? Did it generate new possible
partnership?

project main objectives
CatchRisk project tried to elaborate a general
structured approach for the study of the
hydro-graphic catchments in all its
hydro-geological risk aspects landslides,
alluvial fan floodings and floodings of main
rivers, risk analysis of droughts
development of databases and information systems
for assessing hydro-geological parameters
analysing how landslides begin within the Alpine
catchment areas
evaluating the hazard levels regarding alluvial
fans and the floors of Alpine valleys

Guidelines
The project generated shared guidelines that will
contribute to build a more comprehensive vision
of the hydro-geological problems - including the
way to tackle them too - and to better explain
the application of the morphological method, in
order to support decision making (experts and
administrators).The suggestions collected in the
guidelines are thought to be used by local
administrators and by professionals for the
analyses of hydro-geological risk in the small
alpine catchment areas, finalized to the
evaluation of the risk itself, to the territorial
planning and to better define all the land
protection works.

Regione Lombardia - Project impacts on land use
policies
500 catchments in Bergamo Province. entire hilly
and mountainous area of Lombardy (5000 catchments)
the SIBCA SYSTEM an informative system which,
starting from a DTM, allowed to rebuild
hydrographical basins and then to calculate some
morphometric and hydraulic parameters.
Technical impact

Lombardia web site. regional standard for local

The rock fall hazard maps created by Land Bayern
may be used to select areas in which mitigation
measures evaluation must be carried out and by
the local authority for municipal planning.
in the frame of the Water Master Plan, the
Styrian Government will use the developed model
in order to evaluate the local groundwater
resources
The project, in his whole, had contributed to
strengthen the necessity that the proposals of
hazard zoning in the Alpine catchment areas,
formulated by technicians and by local
administrators, have to be supported by
specialised territorial databases and by
appropriate models
the Graubünden will use the project results to
improve its method for transforming landslides
hazard maps into hazard zones.
the Provincia Autonoma di Trento will use the
developed methodologies to set the standard level
for the new hazard mapping production, which the
Provincia will adopt (D.G.P. 1852 d.d. 06082004)
in Tirol, technical and professional groups
inside the local administrations are very
interested in the prewarning systems based on
territorial modelling as means of protection
measure, because these systems are very efficient
and much cheaper then technical measurements.
the Regione Veneto will use the results of the
project Catchrisk in the sample areas for
updating its Hydrogeological Plan.
Thats why territorial cooperation is a good tool
for the Alps today..
10
but how territorial cooperation can be a better
tool for the Alps tomorrow?
11
Role and potentialities of Territorial
cooperation in Alpine Space
increase knowledge exchanges among territories,
so as to protect their heritage and prevent the
hidrogeological risk
Projects in the new Alpine Space Programme should
enhance the environmental sustainability of
territorial choices
increase the economic integration and the
competitivity of alpine communities
but, most of all
Arouse among cooperation actors a real sharing of
their common problems, enhance the alpine
identity, make alpine people feel that they are
part of a wider, european, community.
12
Some ideas for the future
Development of a GIS database with all the
data concerning the existing infrastructures
interfering with the watercourse, the
morphological elements (i.e. river forms, relict
channels, floodplains, erosion bank slopes), all
the damages due to flooding episodes.
Development and subsequently improvement of the
informative systems on the Alpine basins
Definition of hazard maps for the sub-basin
areas
Development and improvement of the informative
systems on the Alpine basins
Creation of a new connected GIS database for data
computerisation along the main waterbodies.

• Definition of criteria for sub-catchment
  territorial plans, targeted to public
  administrators, and finalized to a correct
  evaluation of the flooding risks and to a
  suitable territorial planning
