The mechanics of wave breaking in shallow water has been a major research field for many years, and a very large number of published results are available. No attempt is made here to review the whole literature. Some ...

Satellite remote sensing is a useful source of observations of land surface hydrologic variables and processes and could be a practical substitution of conventional in-situ monitoring. Most of hydrological dynamic processes ...

E’ un dato acquisito che il modello di sviluppo della civiltà moderna ha da tempo mostrato i suoi limiti, avendo determinato: da un lato l’impoverimento delle risorse primarie, segnatamente quelle non rinnovabili e necessarie ...

La presenza di contaminanti non convenzionali, all’interno di acque superficiali e reflue, costituisce una problematica di notevole interesse in ambito tecnico-scientifico, in relazione agli effetti tossici che tali composti ...

La presente tesi di dottorato analizza alcuni concetti relativi al problema del monitoraggio e della calibrazione delle reti idriche. L’efficienza di una rete di distribuzione idrica si può misurare in termini di ...

Nell’ultimo decennio, l’introduzione di limiti normativi più restrittivi per lo scarico di acque reflue (D. Lgs 152/06) e l’emanazione di norme mirate al riutilizzo dei reflui depurati (D. Lgs 185/03) hanno posto l’esigenza ...

Italy and, in particular, the Campania region, has been exposed to Hydraulic Risk since long ago. In hydraulic risk analysis the definition of maximum flood discharge with a specific return time (T) is crucial and, to this ...

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 ...

This PhD work performs an exhaustive search on accessibility indicators aimed at quantitative evaluation of the competitiveness of a territory in general or more in the detail of a transport terminal. The work has consisted ...

Heavy rainfall on steep hillslopes may cause either shallow landslides or soil superficial erosion and different flow-type phenomena may originate in adjacent/overlapping source areas. Consequently, great amount of water ...
