🎯 The objective? To showcase and quantify the persuasive power of awareness-raising actions on household #water consumption.
The paper has just been accepted, more details soon

This time we wrote a paper different from the usual ones, describing an experiment designed by Renato Morbidelli and targeting a sample from the population of our university - Università degli Studi di Perugia.

This work wants to bridge the gap from monitoring #irrigation dynamics for understanding the human impacts on the water cycle to support agricultural #water management strategies. Usual scales of interest for water allocation managers and a very fine sampling (10 m) are considered.

Just a foretaste of what we'll get from the @esa.int Irrigation-EU project:
▫️1 km IWU from Sentinel-1 #soilmoisture

High-resolution satellite soil moisture offers the possibility of estimating groundwater recharge 🛰️💧🔋
Web story on our recently developed approach for estimating #groundwater #recharge by means of #satellite #soilmoisture published on the Global Water Forum page: l1nq.com/Z3ZIq

Unfortunately, this year I won't be attending #EGU25, but if you are there I encourage you go listening the talk by Francesco Leopardi on the amazing job he's doing in his PhD, focused on globale-scale #runoff estimates through #satellite data. 🏞️🛰️🌍

📅 Friday, 2 May, 15:20-15:30 CEST, 🟥 Room C

Its exciting aim is to develop a high-resolution (1 km) satellite-based IWU data set at the European scale. To do this, the SM-based inversion approach (lnkd.in/dBmzbcr8) will be implemented operationally to estimate IWU with a short latency.
Stay tuned for updates!

More research on #irrigation #water use (IWU) estimates from #space is coming! 🛰️💧
Today we kicked-off the 𝗜𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗘𝗨 project, funded by @esa.int.

Paper preprint coming soon

Are extreme rainfall events intensifying in Italy? 🌧
In doi.org/10.1016/j.ej... we show that:
- short-duration ordinary extremes increase all over Italy;
- longer duration ordinary extremes exhibit negative trends in some areas;
- the most intense extremes vary more than the ordinary ones.

The activity is an output of the Tethys Plus project, supported by the E.U.- PR FESR Regione Lazio. Stay tuned for more information!

Performances in reconstructing irrigation dynamics have been assessed at different scales of interest for #water allocation managers, i.e., from the consortium level to the farm and single field ones.

We applied the SM-based inversion approach (lnkd.in/d9jUtghB) for #irrigation #quantification and the TSIMAP method ( lnkd.in/dhbuabGB) for irrigation #mapping at the unprecedent sampling of 10 m.

Grazie Giulio!

Thanks for sharing!!

The proposed framework merges benefits of analytical and water-balance-based approaches. More interesting, soil hydraulic parameters are calibrated using #rainfall as a target observation, more readily available than groundwater-related information.
