A multidisciplinary team composed of NRM PhD students Simona Denaro, Francesca Recanati, and Andrea Cominola, Polimi Post-doc Luciana Cezarino, and Polimi PhD student Eylül Kilsedar won the first edition of Climathon Milan!
Last week-end we tested our new drone for monitoring river sediment grain sizes on two North Italian rivers. Together with Dr. Patrice Carbonneau we are developing a new methodology for mapping river grain size distribution automatically by drone image acquisition as part of the Amber project.
Two new papers on the integrated real-time operation of urban water supply storages and on a framework for automatic information selection to support water systems operations have been published on Water Resources Research. Here the references:
The journal paper “Benefits and challenges of using smart meters for advancing residential water demand modeling and management: A review“, authored by Andrea Cominola, Matteo Giuliani, Dario Piga, Andrea Castelletti and Andrea Rizzoli has been published on the Environmental Modelling & Software journal.
The paper contributes a comprehensive review and classification framework of the state-of-the-art works in the field of residential water demand modeling and management. This field has been undergoing quick changes and evolution in the last two decades, especially since the advent of smart metering technologies. The status quo of the field, emerging trends, challenges and future developments are presented and revised.
