Possible application fields interested by the availability of advanced weather forecasting and water resource management technologies

1. Civil protection (cost of false alarms, …)

2. Tourism (false alarm)

3. Road transportation

4. Agriculture

5. Insurances



108

action 1 – Application of cost/benefit analysis to some case studies (2005 and 2006)

action 2 - Cost/benefit analysis of the future availability of advanced weather forecasting and water resource management technologies (2007)

Pilot areas

• UNITN (in the Adige Valley)

• ARPAV (in the area around the Garda Lake)

• ZAMG-S (in the Nord-Österreich – Linz – small

basin- downscaling of output from LAMs to the

basin scale, which suffers from frequent flooding)



55

109



Comments: • What type of cost/benefit analysis ?

• Choice of the case studies.

• Connection between WP9 and the other WPs:- WP5: benefits deriving from the database of historical series

- WP7: benefits deriving from the optimization of NWF models

- WP8: benefits deriving from the optimization of operations in

dams

4. Connections between WP9 and WP6 (training of

volunteer observers)? Better to carry out polls?

5. Suggestions?
