SVILENGRAD TEST AREA IN SMARTWATER PROJECT
Abstract
In the framework of Smart Water project funded by the call for proposals Prevention and Preparedness 2012 of DG ECHO financial instrument for civil protection support, our team has started a research on the Bulgarian river - Maritza in its part located on the territory of Svilengrad municipality. The project main idea is to implement in the everyday work of the civil protection engineers webGIS tool where flood maps of potential flood scenarios can provide online support in cases of need for the operational teams on the field. The researchers from Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is working in a consortium with lead partner - province of Padua, Romanian partner - Danube delta national institute for research and development, research committee from university of Thessaly and region of Thessaly. The prepared flood maps will be created with accordance of the EU flood directive 2007/60/EC, which will give compatibility between the results in the consortium field work.
