| Contents | Geological Hazard and Risk. Geological risks (seismic, volcanic and hydrogeological risk). Prediction and prevention. The Hydrogeological Management Plan (PAI). Interference between slope processes and fluvial dynamics (landslide dams). Groundwater, aquifer vulnerabilty. Geology of the main aquifer systems in Central Italy. Springs. Water budget of springs and aquifers. Influence of geological setting on the aquifers. Hydraulic barriers and their influence on aquifer exploitation. |
| Reference texts | Notes from the lectures. Materials made available form the teachers (slides form lectures, scientific publications concerninig the treated topics, notes written by the teachers about some topics). |
| Educational objectives | The course aims to provide Students with theoretical and practical knowledge for the understanding of hydrogeological risks (slope instability and flooding) and for the management of landslides dams. The course also aims to provide the knowledge for the correct management of groundwater and the abìilty to interprete hydrogeological data on the basis of geological setting. |
| Prerequisites | Base knowledge of Geology form the BSc courses. |
| Teaching methods | Lectures and field trips. |
| Other information | None |
| Learning verification modality | Oral test of about 30 minutes aimed to verify that the Student properly knows the geological issues involved in civil an environment engineering. |
| Extended program | Definition of hazard, vulnerability and risk. Geological risks: seismic, volcanic and hydrogeological risk. The Hydrogeological Management Plans in Italy (PAI). The landslide dams. Study scales. The interference scenarios between slope dynamics and river dynamics. Causes. Classification. Effects. Mode of breaking of the barriers and consequent propagation of the anomalous wave. Examples. The Vajont landslide. Aquifer vulnerability. The main aquifer systems in Central Italy. Springs and alluvial aquifers. Groudwater budget. Relationships among geological setting and groundwater resources. Influence of tectonics on groundwater. No flow and constant head boundaries. Interpretation of pumping tests in aquifers delimited by no flow or constant head boundaries. Image well theory. |
