The Tech-Levee-Watch project involves the implementation of a series of interconnected activities in order to obtain a diagnosis-monitoring-alert procedure and to provide a methodology to prevent and contain the hydrogeological risk associated with earthen levees.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fast Scanning: <\/span>The starting phase of the procedure involves a fast analysis of the study area using portable GPR and electromagnetic devices. This process allows a fast detection of levees\u2019 segments that have a risk of failure due to holes or localized seepage. This system provides a map of the area, showing which zones have to be further analysed.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Permanent monitoring: <\/span>After having localized high risk sites, because of the possible instability or because of the high exposure of the surrounding zone, the permanent installation of a geo-electrical system is implemented. The prototypal device has buried cables and electrodes and a command box which starts, saves and sends the measurements through internet connection. The frequency of the measurements is settable and allows to monitor the situation in real time. A meteorological station is also installed to monitor weather parameters.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Scenarios and thresholds: <\/span>Thanks to geo-electrical monitoring, water content in the embankment can be measured, calibrating a resistivity\/water content function. In this way lack of homogeneity in seepage or fast changings in the situation can be detected. <\/span>Doing laboratory experiments and simulating seepage through the levee, scenarios of water content and scenarios of levee breach can be related and thresholds of collapse can be decided.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Alert: <\/span>The system provides an assessment of the vulnerability of the earthen levee in real time, giving the chance of deciding a priority of intervention and helping the managing authorities during extreme events. <\/span>The alert procedure is the final and most important one, because provides to citizens and authorities an alarm related to current situation at the critical site.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
