Politecnico di Milano is represented by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA). The project is led by Davide Chiarelli, a senior researcher (RTDb) at Polimi since 2022. The group is composed of Dr. Davide Danilo Chiarelli, Prof. ssa Maria Cristina Rulli, Dr. Nikolas Galli, Harsh Nanesha and Arianna Tolazzi. They belong to the Glob3science Group led by Prof. ssa Maria Cristina Rulli
This research unit has expertise in hydrological modeling, Food-Water-Energy indicators assessment, agriculture, and irrigation systems. In this project, this team will provide the estimates for irrigation demand of agriculture areas in the proximity of small reservoirs and carry out the assessments on the operationality of small agricultural reservoirs for emergency irrigations.
Sapienza University of Rome is represented by the Department of Civil, Environmental and Building Engineering (DICEA). The unit is led by Elena Ridolfi, associate professor at the same university. The group is composed of Prof. Elena Ridolfi, Prof. Francesco Napolitano, Dr. Benedetta Moccia and the PhD students Flavia Marconi and Lorenza Cappellato.
The research expertise of the unit is related to statistical analysis of hydrological data, hydraulic risk assessment, compound and cascade events analysis, assessment of drought and flood, and their associated risk. Their role in the project involves assessing the vulnerability of the Italian territory to drought, specifically identifying the crops most impacted and determining which should be prioritized for the installation of small irrigation reservoirs.
Università degli studi di Firenze (UNIFI) is represented by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICEA) and the Department of Agricultural, Environmental, Food and Forestry Science and Technology (DAGRI). The group working in the DICEA is led by Prof. Enrica Caporali and it is composed of Dr. Tommaso Pacetti, Dr. Marco Lompi and the PhD students Gabriele Bertoli and Jerome El Jeitany, while the group working in the DAGRI is led by Prof. Elena Bresci and it is composed of Dr. Giulio Castelli and Dr. Luigi Piemontese.
The expertise of the UNIFI team is based on remote sensing, artificial intelligence, water harvesting techniques, best siting and ecosystem services assessment, Lidar and Interferometric RADAR techniques. Their role in the project is the creation of a national database of Small Agricultural Reservoirs (SmAR) with remote sensing techniques and the best siting of new SmAR to improve water availability for agriculture.
CNR-IBE (National Research Council - Institute of BioEconomy) is represented by a research unit made up of Dr. Luca Fibbi (Associated Investigator), Dr. Yamuna Giambastiani, Dr Stefano Cecchi and Dr. Riccardo Giusti, with the collaboration of Dr. Stefano Romanelli (from LaMMA Consortium, consortium between Tuscany Region and National Research Council).
This research group will provide the reservoirs database useful to validate the remote sensing detection of the surface extension and of the water stored volume in the small agricultural reservoirs (SmAR). This database was created on the request of the Tuscany Region and contain a census of Tuscany lakes (see Giambastiani et al., 2020 for details). The research unit will also implement in the project the methodologies for estimating the reservoir capacity, through surveys with rapid bathymetric sensors.
