FACCHI A. / GANDOLFI C. / ORTUANI B. / et al. - ARTICLE DE PERIODIQUE - 2005

Evaluation of the effects of the changes in land use and water resources allocation in the Lombardia plain. A coupling of 2 mathematical models (A Soil and Vegetation Atmosphere Transfer and a groundwater model, called MODFLOW, in the framework of a Geographical Integrated System) was applied to four scenarios. The models, data (rainfall, irrigation methods, crops, groundwater system), and results (aquifer recharge, crop yields, irrigation water availability) are related.
