Environment & Ecology | | Italian term or phrase: laminazione delle piene | • Interventi di laminazione delle piene;
Inoltre il canale, con la sua grande superficie, costituisce un bacino idrico molto importante per la laminazione delle portate meteoriche che svilupperanno le precipitazioni più intense, quali tipicamente quelle delle piogge estive |

Explanation:
Laminazione delle piene: riduzione delle portate massime di un evento alluvionale, attraverso
interventi che permettano il contenimento temporaneo di grandi volumi d’acqua, sottraendoli
così al flusso nei corsi d’acqua, e mitigando gli impatti dell’evento stesso. Gli interventi possono
essere di tipo strutturale, con realizzazione di opere come le casse di espansione), oppure non
strutturale, definendo degli spazi attorno ai corsi d’acqua dove le acque di piena possano
esondare.

Flood Attenuation: Flood attenuation is defined as the process of providing temporary water storage capacity during flood events, either naturally or through human intervention, for the purpose of reducing peak flows.

National regeneration agency, English Partnerships, working in conjunction with West Northamptonshire Development Corporation, the Environment Agency and Northampton Borough Council, has started work on the first phase of the Upton Flood Attenuation Scheme. The full comprehensive attenuation strategy, costing over £8m, will enable Northampton Brownfield Initiative Sites at Sixfields, Harvey Reeves Road and Ransome Road to be regenerated and provide some further flood defence measures for Northampton as a whole.
The aim of the works is to create an area where water could be diverted from the River Nene in a controlled manner in order to reduce the risk of flooding downstream. The diverted water would be held temporarily (attenuated) upstream of the town in an area of open grassland until it could be safely released back into the river. Water would only be contained in these areas during a flood event.
