Sediment management in the channel networks: from measurements to best-practices

The workshop,   sponsored by ISPRA, aims to be a moment of meeting and discussion among the leading international and national experts on the subject of sediment management in watercourses. The knowledge of sediment transport fluxes in rivers and their correct management are increasingly recognized as crucial for guaranteeing a sustainable and integrated use of the water resources and of the fluvial corridors worldwide. The workshop intends to bring together scientists and practitioners – from both public and private sectors – interested to learn and discuss the state-of-the-art approaches and experiences on river sediment transport monitoring and management strategies, with a special focus on mountain channels. The event will last two days, with international (first day) and Italian (second day) invited speeches. Discussion time will be available after every talk and at the end of each day.
