✦ Synopsis
This paper deals with the experimental activity carried out in the ®eld of ¯ood monitoring at the Civil Engineering Department of Florence University (Italy) in cooperation with EOSAT (USA) and Eurimage (Italy). The aim of the study is to research the possibilities of satellite data utilization to aid in modelling of the hydrological behaviour of a river basin and monitoring ¯ood emergencies. The area selected for the study is the Fucecchio Marsh (Tuscany, Italy), in which ¯ooding events are very frequent. This paper describes the results of the study, with particular reference to the use of Landsat TM data to estimate soil water content, and the use of ERS SAR data to analyse ¯ash ¯ood events.
