Innovations, Advances and Future Challenges for the Hydrological CommunityAuthor(s): Elena Volpi, Elena Cristiano, Marco Peli, Martina Siena, Giulia Zuecco\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: IWA Publishing, United Kingdom\nImprint: IWA Publishing\nISBN-13: 9781789064896, 978-1789064896\nSynopsis\nIn the last decades, the hydrology and water management sectors have been dealing with global changes, proposing several innovative solutions. Climate changes are leading to an increase in long hot and dry periods, alternating with short and intense rainfall events. Urban areas are particularly vulnerable to these changes: rapid population growth and intense anthropic activity enhance the risk of extreme hydrological events. Several solutions have been proposed in the last years to monitor, prevent, forecast and mitigate rainfall extremes and their effects in natural and urban environments. Some questions, however, remain unsolved and new issues are challenging the hydrological community. \n\nTh.
