SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Innovative methodologies to support the implementation of sustainable wastewater reuse in agriculture: risk and impacts assessment
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 14 novembre nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Luca Penserini condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Innovative methodologies to support the implementation of sustainable wastewater reuse in agriculture: risk and impacts assessment”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract  \nWater pollution and scarcity of clean freshwater\, exacerbated by climate change and population growth\, are posing a global risk not only limited to the environment\, but also involving human health and related socio-economical aspects\, raising a need for sustainable water management practices. The reuse of reclaimed wastewater (RWW)\, especially for agriculture\, i.e.\, the most water demanding sector\, has been recognized as a reliable alternative source to conventional freshwater. Either direct and indirect reuse of RWW inherently connects water in numerous environmental compartments (i.e.\, raw water\, soil\, crop). This interconnection leads to a series of impacts\, either positive\, as the water stress alleviation or the enhancement of agricultural productivity through the supply of nutrients\, or negative\, as the cross-contamination of different environmental compartments with contaminants of emerging concern (CECs)\, pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARBs). All these impacts need to be evaluated through specific models to avoid\, or at least\, mitigate\, potential long-term risks. \nWastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) assume a crucial role in determining the quality of RWW intended for irrigation\, especially considering the compliance requisites delineated in the regulation on minimum requirements for water reuse adopted in June 2023 by the European Parliament (Regulation 2020/741). Moreover\, in this regulation it is stressed the need for a shift from the common practice of establishing minimum quality requirements towards preventive risk analysis aimed at minimizing risks and maximizing positive impacts throughout all the steps of the RWW reuse chain. \nIn this context\, the present project is aimed at developing a holistic risk-based framework for the integrated assessment of RWW reuse practices’ impacts\, to support decision-makers and water utilities in planning\, design and comparing the different alternatives and determine the optimum solutions to minimize risks and social costs. \nSpeaker’s bio \nLuca is a PhD student in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (37th cycle) at Politecnico of Milan. He has a Master of Science in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering obtained in 2020 at Politecnico of Milan. \nLuca works in the safeWATER research group and his research activities focus on the impacts modelling of wastewater reuse in agriculture practices\, emphasizing risk assessment procedures as a key focal point. \nIn his free time\, Luca loves playing sports and travelling.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Flood Risk Mitigation through Smart Levee Solutions based on Fiber Optic Sensors: An Applied Case Study in Emilia-Romagna
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 28 novembre nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Manuel Bertulessi condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Flood Risk Mitigation through Smart Levee Solutions based on Fiber Optic Sensors: An Applied Case Study in Emilia-Romagna”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract  \nThe Smart Levee concept is an increasingly emerging practice applied to the monitoring of the serviceability and stability of riverbanks\, a strategic asset for flood risk management in lowland areas. The levee smartness is given by a network of different kinds of sensors installed on site that\, through a data interpretation layer\, provide continuous information about the health conditions of the structure and its response to external solicitations. This approach can bring a strong improvement to the efficiency of the maintenance procedures\, as well as to the surveillance procedures during flood events. \nWe adopt this concept by conceiving an anti-erosion levee sensing revetment\, based on the integration between a geomat reinforced with double twist wire mesh and Polymeric Fiber Optic Sensors (PFOS). The project\, financed by the Agency for Territorial Safety and Civil Protection of the Emilia-Romagna Region\, has been supported by Fondazione Politecnico di Milano\, University of Padua (DICEA)\, Officine Maccaferri Spa ed Optosensing Srl. \nLab experiments and finite element modeling have been performed to select the best coupling solution of PFOS to the reinforced geomat\, hence design the layout of the sensing revetment. A prototype of this technology has been installed\, both landside and riverside\, on a 25 m linear length portion of the levee bank of the Grizzaga creek in Fossalta\, by the town of Modena in Emilia-Romagna Region. This area hosts one of the most critical nodes of the fluvial network of the region and was hit by floods frequently in the past. The experimental site has been also equipped with some agronomic and geotechnical sensors to investigate the mechanical behavior of the levee when it is subjected to external solicitations – e.g. those caused by a flood event – hence\, improving the response of the monitoring solution. Moreover\, we designed and installed below sensing revetments placed riverside a testing system based on a set of pneumatic cushions that will be used to exert locally controlled soil deformation. \nThe system successfully passed an important stress test during the heavy flood events that hit the Region in May 2023\, detecting properly all the evolution of the flood wave. Further investigations are still ongoing\, both with on-site tests and laboratory activities to characterize the sensibility of the monitoring solution to different kinds of possible solicitations. \nSpeaker’s bio \n\nManuel is a PhD student in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (37th cycle) at Politecnico di Milano. He got his MSc Degree in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering in 2019 at Politecnico di Milano. \n\n\nManuel’s research activity deals with the conceptualization of innovative monitoring solutions based on Fiber Optic Sensors for critical hydraulic infrastructures. \n\n\nIn his free time\, Manuel loves travelling and hiking.
