Hydrogeological modelling of dredging the Tresse canal

This study, commissioned by CNR and ISMAR, is aimed at the numerical modelling of the hydrogeological effects of dredging the Tresse navigable canal trough the Venice lagoon.
The hydrogeological analysis is performed with the aid of a state-of-the-art finite-element numerical model with the main objective of predicting the short (minutes), medium (months) and long (decades) term processes of water and pollutant exchange between the shallow aquifer system of the lagoon, enhanced by the canal excavation and ship-wakes.
