Author: Salvatore Manfreda

He is Full Professor of Hydrology and Hydraulic Constructions at the University of Naples Federico II. He is currently chair of the IAHS MOXXI working group. His research primarily centers on hydrological modeling and monitoring. Recognizing the challenges posed by the complexity and limitations of traditional hydrological observations, he actively explores advanced and alternative monitoring techniques, such as the utilization of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) coupled with image processing.

This MATLAB codebase, titled “Peak outflows of a detention basin,” provides a methodology for modeling how detention dams affect the probability distribution of flood events. Developed by Salvatore Manfreda, Domenico Miglino, and Ciro Albertini, it is based…
