Integrated Water Resources and Drought Management under Climate Change
The project focuses on integrated water resources and drought management under climate change conditions. Research activities address the onset, evolution and propagation of meteorological droughts into agricultural and hydrological droughts, assessing the role of hydrological processes and human pressures. The project includes the development and application of methods and tools for drought monitoring, forecasting, risk assessment and management, through the integration of in situ observations, satellite data, climate reanalyses, hydrological modelling and artificial intelligence techniques. The final goal is to support sustainable water resources management and informed decision-making under changing environmental conditions.
