Abstract

The overall objective of the project is the development of advanced technologies and innovative methods that, using radar, biological sensors, hydrodynamic models and algorithms, allow, for the first time, to
predict the river flows also during high floods as well as the impact of hydrodynamic processes on the river biotic communities. The project aims to face a twofold challenge, the first is that raised by World
Meteorological Organization to identify advanced techniques for discharge monitoring at high flow, of interest to control extreme events and the second challenge is that of the European Biodiversity Strategy
to 2020 (EU COM 244, 2011) for a better protection of ecosystems along with the contribution to averting global biodiversity loss.
