WATERSHED HYDRAULIC PROTECTION
Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: Alberto Paolo CAMPISANOExpected Learning Outcomes
Basic aim of the course is to provide fundamentals, tools and methods for the hydraulic protection of urban and non-urban watersheds. The course consists of active lectures and exercises.
Course Structure
The course will be developed based on active lectures and exercises in order to evaluate the knowledge level of the students during the course development..
