Fernando Nardi
Hydraulic engineer with a PhD in hydrology: my research and professional interests pertain to the development and application of Geographic Information System (GIS), remote sensing technologies and advanced hydro-modelling software for urban/land planning, environmental, water resources and natural catastrophies management projects.
I'm currently associate professor (ICAR/02) at the University for Foreigners of Perugia where I serve as Director of the WAter Resources REsearch DOocumentation Centre [WARREDOC].

often the subject of critical flood conditions for the significant human-made
transformations. In this work the EBA4SUB framework, implementing the
hydrogeomorphic width function instantaneous unit hydrograph rainfall runoff
model, and using digital elevation model, land use and synthetic precipitation
as main input information, is applied for evaluating extreme hydrologic
forcing conditions at the basic scale. The goal is to understand the rationale
behind the observed increasing frequency of local urban inundations that are
also observed in the uplands. Results present the impact of urbanization
expressed by both the run-off coefficient, the artificial drainage, impacted by
paved surfaces and a dramatic number of river–road intersections (i.e. culverts),
and the upstream to downstream non-natural scaling behaviour of hydrologic
parameters and in particular the peak discharge per unit drainage area
