Contents The course deals with the methodologies for defining the reference scenarios for the characterization of natural risks, in particular the hydraulic one and the actions and infrastructures for the protection of the territory and anthropic activities.
Reference texts Murachelli A. e Riboni V., Rischio idraulico e difesa del territorio, Dario Flaccovio Editore, 2010.

Rosso R., 2002. Manuale di protezione idraulica del territorio. CUSL, Milano.
Educational objectives The first objective concerns the acquisition of the main knowledge relating to:
• definition of reference scenarios for the characterization of natural risks and the hydraulic one in particular;
• possible actions to protect the territory against hydraulic risk;
• planning techniques that foresee the virtuous interaction between works, territory and anthropic activities.

A second objective is related to the acquisition of the main skills related to the ability to:

• select, apply and interpret monitoring instruments and techniques of the main quantities for the definition of a risk scenario;
• select and apply basic hydraulic risk assessment methodologies;
• evaluate the effectiveness of territorial protection tools;
• evaluate the effect of anthropic works and activities on the territory.
Prerequisites In order to understand and to apply the most important concepts discussed in the course is necessary that the student has already gained basic mathematical skills.
Teaching methods The course is organized in:
•Face-to-face lessons;
•Practical training.
Other information Examination Timetable:
The schedule of the exams is available at the following link:

Learning verification modality The exam of the course consists of an oral discussion. The oral exam is directed to check out the knowledge level over the course contents related to hydraulic risk and environment protection, the ability to apply the studied techniques and the ability to select the proper methodology by self-judgement. Furthermore, the oral exam has also the objective to evaluate communication skills and the usage of an appropriate language about the theoretical and practical subjects of the course. The grade of the exam is certified with the local grade system, which is a number on a scale from 18 to 30.
Extended program The main topics of the course are:
- design discharge estimate for hydraulic infrastructures;
- methodologies for characterizing natural risks with specific reference to the hydraulic one;
- planning tools, Directive 2007/60/EC on the assessment and management of flood risks;
- interaction between works, territory and anthropic activities;
- channel conveyance maintenance and the possible application of bioengineering solutions
- elements on non-structural and structural measures to mitigate hydraulic risk and protect the environment.
