- Hydraulic Engineering, Geotechnics of Road Infrastructure and Safety
Description
The research group's activities focus on topics related to the processes of the hydrological cycle and hydraulic infrastructures for water resource management, with particular emphasis on the effects of climate change on design hydrological variables.
Predictive models and real-time simulations are integrated to improve the calibration of systems and optimize water resource management, contributing to ensuring sustainable and resilient management in a rapidly changing context.
Research subjects
- Impact of climate change on hydrological extremes and components of the hydrological balance.
- Physically-based hydrological modeling at the catchment scale applied to hazards induced by extreme events.
- Use of gridded climate data for hydrological applications (e.g., reanalysis, seasonal forecasts, projections).
- Trend analysis of hydrological variables.
- Optimization of water losses through pressure management systems.
- Optimal management of pumping stations for energy savings, through dynamic regulation of inverters
- Optimization of detention structures for flood control in urban drainage systems
