RainBO Life

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jul 31, 2019,

Background The risk of flooding of small watercourses is a major problem in several Italian urban areas. Urbanisation, with a consequent decrease of soil permeability and loss of space for river and stream beds, is increasing the likelihood of flooding and the severity of its effects. Furthermore, climate change is likely to make severe rainfall events an ...

Background Contamination by hazardous substances is one of the main causes of soil degradation and loss of terrestrial ecosystem services. In the European Union, there are 42 potentially contaminated sites and 5.7 contaminated sites per 10 000 inhabitants. Approximately 340 000 sites require remediation. So far, only 15% of known contaminated sites have b ...

Background Italy generates some 32.5 million tonnes/yr of municipal solid waste (MSW), of which 45% goes to landfill, whilst some 11% is incinerated. If the country’s landfill sites incorporated the best available technologies (BAT), it could not only minimise the impact on soil and groundwater, but landfill waste could represent a source of energy if c ...
