Amongst human practices, agricultural surface-water management systems represent some
of the largest integrated engineering works that shaped floodplains during history, directly or …

A study of the effects of human modification of a coastal plain mainly involving land
reclamation and flood protection is proposed. The approach involves historical …

The economic and human consequences of extreme precipitation and the related flooding of
urban areas have increased rapidly over the past decades. Some of the key factors that …

The extent of coastline urbanization reduces their resilience to flooding, especially in low-
lying areas. The study site is the coastline of the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy), historically …

The present work aims to assess the effects that recent land use changes might have
induced on the flood risk. The analysis has been carried out by applying hydrological …

response to these emergencies under the European 2030 Agenda, Sustainable …

Our study investigates the land use evolution of the Po River Delta (Italy, about 18,000 ha)
over the last 120 years to evaluate the impacts of human activities. The various land uses …

It is widely recognized that the complex relationship between humans, soil, and water has
