Modeling the effect of land cover change on sediment accumulation in small agricultural reservoirs in Tuscany region

The work aims at estimating the effects of the application of vinewyard on sediment accumulation in hilly reservoirs, with the use of HEC-HMS. The production of sediments at the basin scale and the accumulation of sediments in a reservoir that is located within the Suvignano farm, which is currently free of significant sediment accumulation issues, is estimated. In this area of Tuscany, wine production is particularly developed, but not within the farm of Suvignano, where the cultivation of cereals, renewal crops, and forage is practiced and there is a large grazing area.
