This non-exhaustive collection of publications offers a concise overview of the scientific journey of Prof. Mauro Fiorentino — mentor, friend, and scholar who profoundly shaped the evolution of hydrology in Italy. With his original and curious approach,…
How can we predict the probability distribution of peak outflows from a detention dam without running thousands of Monte Carlo simulations? This work answers that question with a closed-form, theoretically derived probability distribution (TDD) of…
La stima della massima portata al colmo ovvero della massima pioggia corrispondente ad un prefissato tempo di ritorno rappresenta un elemento indispensabile per poter procedere ad un corretto programma di interventi per la difesa del…
Negli ultimi anni la comunità scientifica ha sviluppato differenti modelli idrologici finalizzati all’approfondimento dei processi a scala di bacino; in particolare differenti tipi di concettualizzazione sono stati utilizzati per descrivere la variabilità spaziale dello stato…
In the last few years, the scientific community has developed several hydrological models aimed at the simulation of hydrological processes acting at the basin scale. In this context, the portion of peak runoff contributing areas…
In the present paper, an analytical work for the description of the soil water balance and runoff production was adopted over a significant number of river basins belonging to a humid region of Southern Italy.…
Understanding the spatial variability of key parameters of flood probability distributions represents a strategy to provide insights on hydrologic similarity and building probabilistic models able to reduce the uncertainty in flood prediction in ungauged basins.…

A regional probabilistic model for the estimation of medium-high return period flood quantiles is presented. The model is based on the use of theoretically derived probability distributions of annual maximum flood peaks (DDF). The general…
The analysis of runoff thresholds and, more in general, the identification of main mechanisms of runoff generation controlling the flood frequency distribution is investigated, by means of theoretically derived flood frequency distributions, in the framework…
Nel presente lavoro, viene analizzato il comportamento dei bacini idrografici durante eventi di piena per approfondire le dinamiche afflussi/deflussi. Le analisi sono condotte mediante simulazione idrologica in continuo utilizzando il modello DREAM accoppiato al modello…
Theoretically derived distributions allow the detection of dominant runoff generation mechanisms as key signatures of hydrologic similarity. We used two theoretically derived distributions of flood peak annual maxima: the first is the “IF” distribution, which…
The present paper introduces an analytical approach for the description of the soil water balance and runoff production within a schematic river basin. The model is based on a stochastic differential equation where the rainfall…
In general, different mechanisms may be identified as responsible of runoff generation during ordinary events or extraordinary events at the basin scale. In a simplified scheme these mechanisms may be represented by different runoff thresholds.…
