Welcome to the FAST wiki! Column |

| Marine foreshores are currently not included in water safety assessments and in levee design. River floodplains |
are only managed to maximize river discharge capacity. However, foreshores and floodplains deliver several |
services, such as increasing sedimentation, reducing erosion and attenuating waves that mitigate flood risk |
by improving levee stability and lifetime. Including foreshores and floodplains in levee design and safety |
assessments can result in considerable cost reductions for flood risk management. The FAST (Foreshore Assessment using Space Technology) project aims to develop a new GMES/Copernicus downstream service |
by developing products based on Sentinel data to gain spatial information on foreshore and floodplain |
characteristics, such as morphology, sediment characteristics and vegetation properties. Necessary ground |
referencing in combination with measurements on wave attenuation and erosion/deposition regimes will be |
executed at eight characteristic case-study sites across Europe (Spain, Romania, United Kingdom and the |
Netherlands). From the collected data general relationships between foreshore and floodplain characteristics |
and flood risk mitigation properties will be derived and implemented in a GIS based software package. Software |
calculates effects of foreshores and floodplains on hydraulic conditions derived from either satellite images or |
engineering manuals. Effects of foreshores and floodplains on wave impact and bed stability are translated to |
potential reduction in levee width and crest height. Software will be developed in close contact with various | enduser
end user groups to ensure commercial uptake and long-term continuation of services. In this way, FAST provides |
the first standardised tool for integrating levee-landscape interaction into cost efficient and safe flood risk |
