This is Giovanni Ravazzani’s website.
I am an associate professor within the Politecnico di Milano, in Italy, working in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
My main research topics are centered around hydrological modelling, and more precisely:
- Flood forecasting
- Irrigation management
- Climate change
- Groundwater modelling
- River-groundwater interaction
- Flood risk
- Sediment transport

- Monitoring discharge in vegetated floodplains: a case study of the piave river
A new paper has been published in Water and is now online. Title: Monitoring Discharge in Vegetated Floodplains: A Case Study of the Piave River Abstract:The accurate assessment of discharge in vegetated floodplains during floods is a persistent challenge in river engineering due to the difficulty of acquiring hydraulic data, the variability in vegetation roughness, and the limitations… (READ MORE) - Weekly Monitoring and Forecasting of Hydropower Production Coupling Meteo-Hydrological Modeling with Ground and Satellite Data in the Italian Alps
A new paper has been published in Hydrology and is now online. Title: Weekly Monitoring and Forecasting of Hydropower Production Coupling Meteo-Hydrological Modeling with Ground and Satellite Data in the Italian Alps Abstract: This paper presents a system for supporting hydropower production on mountainous areas.
