Ho capito cos'è (una zona di territorio, in una pianura, che serve ad impedire danni eccessivi da alluvioni) ma non saprei se esiste un termine preciso:
"Valle Santa è la porzione più meridionale delle casse di espansione di Campotto ed è utilizzata come scolmatrice delle acque dei Canali Menata e Garda e dei torrenti Idice, Quaderna e Sillaro."
"Valle Santa è la porzione più meridionale delle casse di espansione di Campotto ed è utilizzata come scolmatrice delle acque dei Canali Menata e Garda e dei torrenti Idice, Quaderna e Sillaro."

floodplain
floodplain (fldpln)
Flat land bordering a river and made up of alluvium (sand, silt, and clay) deposited during floods. When a river overflows, the floodplain is covered with water.

I think this is the expression if you require UK English.
