Bridges are fundamental elements of our infrastructure system, indispensable for the effective movement of people and goods in territories with varied orography and often high seismic, hydraulic and geomorphological risk. The natural degradation of materials, accelerated by the aggressive environmental conditions, inefficient maintenance and construction flaws are reasons why the current infrastructural heritage requires a great d

RiverWatch: a citizen-science approach to river pollution monitoring

Under unprecedented pressure from urbanization and climate change, an ever increasing number of streams worldwide fails to meet good ecological status, thus threatening water quality and ecology, and severely impacting our territories. In this vein, RiverWatch aims to develop a new disruptive monitoring infrastructure for river systems focused on the transport of buoyant plastics, woody material, and floating pollution.
