• Water pollution from non-point sources: use of management models to simulate water, sediment and nutrient balance, so to assess the consequences on water bodies of alternative management practices and land uses aimed at rural  planning.
• Identification and evaluation of alternative agronomical practices to minimize non-point pollution (agricultural Best Management Practices) of water bodies.
• Integrated Water Resources Management under scarcity conditions, taking into consideration the effects of climate change.
• Study of hillslope hydrology, erosion and nutrient transport in Mediterranean semi-arid river catchments.

• Project “Mediterranean intermittent river management (MIRAGE)” EU FP7 contract 211732.
  Aim of the project is the investigation of the possibility to apply specific management options to temporary rivers typical of the Mediterranean area, so to assess the applicability of the Water Framework Directive (Dir. 2000/60/EC) to these water courses.
• Project “Bridging the gap between adaptation strategies of climate change impacts and European water policies (CLIMATEWATER)”, EU FP7 contract 211894.
  Aim of the project is the analysis of the data referred to the impacts on water bodies that are likely to occur as a consequence of the climate changes. The project also aims at the identification of adaptation strategies to face these impacts.
• COST Action 869 “Mitigation Options for Nutrient Reductions in Surface Waters and Groundwaters” funded by the European Science Fundation (ESF).
  Main objective of the action is to perform a scientific evaluation of the suitability and cost-effectiveness of different options for reducing nutrient loss to surface and groundwaters, including their limitations
