Earth Observation for Improving Irrigation Water Management: A Case-study from Apulia Region in Italy

Conflict Analysis Using Fuzzy Decision Support System: A Case Study in Apulia Region, Italy

Decision-making in water resources management is widely acknowledged in literature to be a rational process, based on appropriate information and modelling results. Traditional approaches to decision-making focus mainly on the generation and evaluation of alternatives, given a present state and a desirable state. The alternatives are considered as means by which to reduce the differences betwee...

Reuse of Treated Municipal Wastewater for Irrigation in Apulia Region: the “in.te.r.r.a.” Project

The use of non-conventional water resources including treated municipal wastewater has been increasing in the Mediterranean regions over the last decades to cope with water shortages and uneven rainfalls due to climate change. The aim of this paper is to present the first results from two years of experimental field activities carried out in two different demo-places in Southern Italy: the muni...

A Gis Based Air Quality System for the Apulia Region, Southern Italy

Apulia region in the Southern Italy is frequently characterised by high photochemical pollution levels in the warm period and by high levels of PM10 and NO2 in the winter season. Emissions in the area derive essentially from urban, shipping and industrial activities. The main industrial activities are related to the iron and steel industry (one of the largest in Europe) on the western coast and...

Water front study for spot irrigation

“ Advances in Earth observation for water cycle science ”

Since observing the Earth from space became possible more than forty years ago, satellite Earth Observation (EO) missions have become central to the monitoring and understanding of the Earth system, its different components and how they interact with each other. The continuous growth and improvements in the quality of the data and information provided by satellites has resulted in significant p...
