Month: July 2019
La sottomissione degli Abstracts per le Giornate dell’Idrologia della SII 2019 è stata posticipata al 27 luglio. La Società Idrologica Italiana (SII) festeggia questo anno i suoi 10 anni dalla fondazione avvenuta il 25 settembre…
A detailed delineation of flood-prone areas over large regions represents a challenge that cannot be easily solved with today’s resources. The main limitations lie in algorithms and hardware, but also costs, scarcity and sparsity of data and our incomplete knowledge of how inundation events…
Small unmanned aerial systems (UASs) equipped with an optical camera are a cost-effective strategy for topographic surveys. These low-cost UASs can provide useful information for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction even if they are equipped with a…
Workshop “Standardization of procedures in using UAS for environmental monitoring” Date: 6 November, 2019 Venue: Department of Civil Engineering, University of Coimbra (Coimbra, Portugal) We are pleased to inform that the next Workshop of the…
Environmental monitoring plays a central role in diagnosing climate and management impacts on natural and agricultural systems; enhancing the understanding of hydrological processes; optimizing the allocation and distribution of water resources; and assessing, forecasting, and…
River monitoring is a critical issue for hydrological modelling that relies strongly on the use of flow rating curves (FRCs). In most cases, these functions are derived by least-squares fitting which usually leads to good…
Advances in flow monitoring are crucial to increase our knowledge on basin hydrology and to understand the interactions between flow dynamics and infrastructures. In this context, image processing offers great potential for hydraulic monitoring, allowing…
GFA – tool is an open-source QGIS plug-in to realize a fast and cost-effective delineation of the floodplains in the contexts where the available data is scarce to carry out hydrological/hydraulic analyses. The delineation of…
