Slope Reduction and Vegetation
Pianton river (Venice)
The water basin surrounding the Pianton River features an intricate drainage network. The broader area shows a high complexity in watercourse management.
The main Hazard in the study area is Riverbank Landslides which is exasperated by extreme whether events. Additionally, biodiversity loss is also a priority in the surrounding area. Flooding during extreme weather events can also be a concern.
The Main Goal is to implement natural river restoration and maintenance techniques as an alternative to conventional ones. These are expected to also support positive ecological impacts besides enhancing an adaptive water management approach.
Climate-related Hazards & Challenges
are mainly caused by soil instability and water pressure. This is exasperated by extreme whether events.
caused by full vegetation clearance, habitat fragmentation, and hydroclimatic pressures
during extreme weather events can also be a concern and needs to be accounted for.
