The SELECTS project aims at the improvement of the scientific background of students with innovative methods that employe ICT methodologies. The activities of the Hydrology and Water Resources Management (WRM) Area are centered on the improvement of understanding of fundamental hydrometeorological phenomena to better manage our water resources.
