🎯 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.

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!

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.
