Yesterday, the CESI auditorium in Milan hosted the seminar Small Dams in Italy, organized by ITCOLD. Key topics included the 2024 update of the small dams census, the analysis of regional and international regulations, and technical and safety considerations for the management and construction of small dams in Italy.
Our Riccardo Previtali, Dam and Safety Assessment Product Leader, presented a case study on the regulations in the Abruzzo and Lazio regions, highlighting the type of documentation required for necessary verifications, as well as the operational challenges encountered, partly due to the nature of the available information. A valuable contribution that enriched the discussion on a crucial topic for the sector.
