XXXV Convegno Nazionale di Idraulica e Costruzioni Idrauliche

• The use of HEPS is an effective and promising non-structural measure to help mitigate flood risk in Milano urban area, synergic with the existing structural engineering works. • A forecast horizon of two days is required for an operational chain over the Milano basins, and accurate quantitative forecasts are necessary at least one day in advance. • The pragmatic set of “shifted” configurations turns out to be an acceptable low-budget alternative for real time flood forecasts over small urban basins when a single deterministic run is available.
