This paper discusses the application of flood models for infrastructure planning and impact assessment. Flood modelling can be used to forecast how large embanked structures affect the propagation characteristics of floodwaters during a flooding event. Change in these characteristics will alter the risk of the flood to the structure itself and to the surrounding environment. Flood modelling can thus be included in the environmental impact assessment that is usually required for these projects. Once it is clear that a new project will alter the flood propagation characteristics-and thus the flood impact-flood models can be used to help design the layout of the structure to minimize negative impact and to optimize the positive effects. The preliminary results of a case study near Trento (Italy) are presented as an example of the potential of strategic application of flood models.

Abstract
This paper discusses the application of flood models for infrastructure planning and impact assessment. Flood modelling can be used to forecast how large embanked structures affect the propagation characteristics of floodwaters during a flooding event. Change in these characteristics will alter the risk of the flood to the structure itself and to the surrounding environment. Flood modelling can thus be included in the environmental impact assessment that is usually required for these projects. Once it is clear that a new project will alter the flood propagation characteristics-and thus the flood impact-flood models can be used to help design the layout of the structure to minimize negative impact and to optimize the positive effects. The preliminary results of a case study near Trento (Italy) are presented as an example of the potential of strategic application of flood models.
