La Riqualificazione Fluviale - Gestione e ripristino del territorio in aree soggette a rischio idraulico/idrogeologico

The hydrogeological emergency is on the agenda, both on a national and local level, not only because of the special characteristics of our peninsula, but also because of bad management of specific local climatic and environmental features on the part of related local institutions. This situation, in light of the relative “immaturity” of the main related disciplines often creates uncertainty in the work done on the subject, with consequences for natural and human systems. From the point of view of land-planning for the riparian areas and of the River Restoration, three main operational proposals have been identified: - to preserve (e.g., through a meticulous attention to maintenance of the underlying systems of the river banks); - to limit (e.g., integrating the measures already taken in the area with functional enhancements); - to restore (e.g., with a multidisciplinary approach that allows a combination of geological and engineering measures with landscape restoration). These recommendations are recalibrated as needed depending on the specific stretch of river at issue for intervention. At the same time a coordination is necessary in order not to lose sight of the whole picture, involving not only institutions but also local communities in territory monitoring operations.
