Integrating Participatory Approaches and Hydrological Modelling for Water Resources Management

The activity will contribute to the development and application of hydrological models to support the analysis and sustainable management of water resources, also considering the impacts of climate change. In particular, the research will explore innovative approaches for integrating hydrological modelling with participatory processes, involving stakeholders and relevant actors in the identification of problems, scenarios, and management strategies. Particular attention will be devoted to the co-design of decision-support tools capable of integrating scientific and local knowledge. The researcher will also contribute to the design, facilitation, and analysis of workshops and knowledge co-production processes, assessing the contribution of participatory approaches to the development of adaptive and collectively supported water resources management strategies
