Italy is particularly vulnerable to water-related disasters (flooding, landslides, drought) and to other related phenomena, such as soil and coast erosion, which affect land and human activities. Traditional strategies to face water-related hazards were based on structural measures, aiming at land reclamation by drainage networks, at soil conservation ...
