On December 10, 2024 (Tuesday), the final workshop of the InundaRia project will be held at the Amphitheater of the Physics Department of the University of Aveiro, with a public session between 3pm and 4pm. This session will present and discuss the final results obtained by numerical modeling of the Ria de Aveiro regions at risk of flooding in the current and future context in climate change scenarios, as well as on the assessment of the impact of structural measures (defense of agricultural fields in the saline intrusion, retaining walls, new port terminal, rupture of the dune cord).

In a participatory environment, this event aims to present the final results of the InundaRia project to the community and bring together the scientific team with stakeholders and the general public, for a debate around the topic of flooding in the Ria de Aveiro region, with a view to validating the results. obtained within the scope of this project.

The InundaRia project (http://inundaria.web.ua.pt/) “Flood Risk Assessment with a View to Improving Territorial Resilience in the Ria de Aveiro Region” is financed by the Technical Assistance Program 2030 (PAT2030), and aims to predict and understand the dynamics of flooding in the Ria de Aveiro. This project’s main objective is to bring together and disseminate technical-scientific knowledge in the fields of hydrodynamic modeling and flood risk assessment in the Ria de Aveiro, providing users and political decision-makers with reliable predictions that are fundamental to preparing the territory for extreme events, making it the most resilient to future threats. This project integrates researchers from the Physics Department of the University of Aveiro and its partner entities are the Intermunicipal Community of the Aveiro Region (CIRA), the Port of Aveiro (APA) and the Central Regional Coordination and Development Commission (CCDR-Centro ).
