The aim of the work is to present analysis droughts, water resource availability and stress conditions in Italy obtained based on estimates from ISPRA's BIGBANG national hydrological budget model. Trends variations resources occurrence, persistence magnitude drought events that have affected 1951 today will also be presented relation current future impacts climate change, with an indication exposed assets, such as people cultural assets.Italy, located center Mediterranean, one hotspots...

Abstract. In this paper we use a multi-hazard approach to analyse the 9 September 2010 flash flood in Dragone basin, km2 catchment located along Amalfi rocky coastal range, southern Italy. area, alluvial fan flooding has been most frequent and destructive geologic hazard since Roman times. Sudden torrents of water (flash floods) are caused by high-intensity very localized cloudbursts short duration, inducing slope erosion sediment delivery from stream. The elevated bed load transport...

The rainfall monitoring network of the Naples Department Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (NDHOS) was inadequate to measure alluvial event occurred at Sarno on 5 May 1998, when a low amount 101 mm considered responsible for dramatic landslide. To improve measuring capability this network, 50 new stations were later added located in such way increase significantly fractal dimension their areal distribution. enlargement allowed correct measurement extreme 15 September 2001. paper reports...

The hydrological budget is one of the fundamental tools for sustainable management water resources. In last decades, knowledge distribution freshwater resources in space and time becoming great concern due to growing pressure related increasing population, pollution, climate change. Furthermore, scope balance, estimation aquifer assumes particular Italy. fact, more than 80% withdrawal domestic drinkable use derived from groundwater. this context, Italian Institute Environmental Protection...

As the tangible impacts of climate change continue to unfold, imperative assess and prepare for its repercussions on water resources becomes increasingly evident. This study addresses urgent necessity foresee future scenarios surface availability in Italy, recognizing crucial role sustaining ecosystems, agriculture, human life. To unravel intricate interplay between availability, our methodology integrates three representative concentration pathways (RCPs) from Intergovernmental Panel...
