Knowledge of hydrological processes acting in the water balance is determinant for a rational water resources management plan. Among these, the water losses as vapour, in the form of evapotranspiration, play an important ...

Lo studio rivolge l'attenzione ai problemi di difesa dalle piene, ed in particolare all'analisi delle precipitazioni estreme. nelle regioni mediterranee, le caratteristiche climatiche risultano drammaticamente favorevoli ...

The problem of the increase in the magnitude and frequency of flooding events in urban areas can be approached by means of techniques of sustainable urban stormwater management. In this PhD dissertation, the effectiveness ...

The manuscript presents the study that led to the design, implementation and testing of an innovative system for the direct measurement, in the laboratory, of the bed shear stress of flows in open channel. The related ...

Granular flows, such as debris avalanches, debris flows and rock avalanches, involve the rapid motion of granular mixtures consisting of sediments, water and air. They occur on steep slopes and in the hydrographic network ...

The erosion, transport and deposition of pebbles in rivers have often been studied by considering the motion of tracer particles. There are reports of bedload tracing programs in field and laboratory since the late 1930s. ...

The hydraulic processes that control the water movements through the soil strictly depend on the configuration and distribution of the soil pores... [edited by author]

This research aimed at investigating the potential of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in the mitigation of flooding risk in urban areas... [edited by Author]

Drought is a natural phenomenon that has widespread and significant effects on the global economy, environment, industries, and communities. early drought detection allows for the implementation, mitigation strategies ...

Freshwater ecosystems are in extremely critical conditions. Intense water pollution, alteration of the hydrological and sediment regimes and of the channel morphology induced by anthropogenic activities and climate change ...
