With its three - jump drop of 165 m (about 541 feet), it is the highest waterfall in Europe. It is important to note that the falls are not the work of nature, but they were built in 271 BC by the Roman Consul Curius Dentatus The Cascata delle Marmore with its three - jump drop of 165 m (about 541 feet), it is the highest waterfall in Europe. n The water goes from the Rieti plain, o i which elevation varies from (at the t a summit of the Cascata ) to 370 m , c to the Nera valley, at 200 m above o L sea level. e t i S Science Fluid dynamic Fluid laboratory Hydraulic Industry Power Social impact Social Natural Resources Resources Natural Tourism Geology History History Literature Painting Human Connection HISTORY MARMORE WATER FALLS Water Resources Management and Culture PARADIGM The Velino often over flew and formed great swampy areas within 271 B.C. the Rieti plains the falls are not the work of nature , but they were built in 271 BC by the Roman Consul Curius Dentatus who ordered the construction of a canal (the Curiano Trench) to divert the stagnant waters into the natural cliff at Marmore The result was these artificial falls that directed the waters of the River Velino into the River Nera . Hydraulic works have been made in the Cascate delle Marmore for the following 2000 years, with the aim of limiting the frequent floods in the Velino Valley, reducing swamps, reclaiming lands for agriculture and containing epidemics . Map of the XVII century where it is evident the “ comb ” of the caves between the Piediluco Lake and the Marmore falls . ROMAN CLASSIC AGE • The Rieti plains still flooded; when water was high, the Nera river now flooded the Terni valley too • A long period of dispute began between the inhabitants of T erni and R ieti : the former wanted the canal closed, the latter wanted the flow of the falls increased 54 B.C. • The issue between the two cities was so contentious that the Roman Senate was forced to address it • Cicero represented Rieti and Aulo Pompeius represented Terni • The matter wasn’t settled and things remained the same for centuries Only 1787 the architect's project Andrea Vinci gives actual aspect to the Fall, project approved by Pope Pious VI to realize You a diagonal cut around second leap. In 1861 it begins the industrial future of Terni, from this moment in then the Fall it is not tool of reclamation of the territory or regulation of the water system anymore, but they start him to appraise the energetic possibilities.

  • An Intersection of Climate, History and Landscape Use: 3000 Years of Central Italian Environmental Change
    University of Nevada, Reno An intersection of climate, history and landscape use: 3000 years of central Italian environmental change A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography By Theodore Dingemans Dr. Scott A. Mensing/Dissertation Advisor August 2019 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by Theodore Dingemans Entitled An intersection of climate, history and landscape use: 3000 years of central Italian environmental change be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Scott A. Mensing, Ph.D. , Advisor Gianluca Piovesan, Ph.D., Committee Member Paula Noble, Ph.D., Committee Member Adam Csank, Ph.D., Committee Member Edward Schoolman, Ph.D. , Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School August-2019 i Abstract Both climate change and historical events affect the environmental history of a place. Dis-entangling the two is challenging and requires independent reconstructions of climate and landscape change, as well as a thorough local historical narrative. Understanding the role climate and humans have played on shaping landscape is key to interpreting history and understanding the ecological trajectory of a region. Here I present a study which combines a climate reconstruction, a fossil pollen record of land cover change calibrated using a study of modern vegetation-pollen relationships, and a review of the archaeological and historical narrative in order to assess drivers of environmental change in central Italy. The climate and fossil pollen records are derived from a sediment core taken from Lake Ventina and cover the last 3000 years.

  • The Valnerina Geological Park
    THE VALNERINA GEOLOGICAL PARK A guide to the exploration Notes: Stratigraphy, Tectonics, Geomorphology, Quaternary Geology, Georesources. The Umbria - Marche Apennines, for stratigraphic and tectonic characters, is one of the most studied and visited regions by geologists of all world. Schools and universities bring their students for tracking exercises or follow guided, using this area as a real gym. The Valnerina is an area of particular value, which collects a multiplicity of sites of scientific interest, representative of the main topics of geology, all fairly easy to reach, thanks to the extension of the network of roads and trails. A territory that for these reasons fully deserves the connotation of geological park. In this guide, we provide a brief description of the area and of the very interesting sites (geosites), organized into 10 thematic itineraries. The guide is addressed to teachers who want to lead their students to explore this territory, using it as an open-air laboratory. At the same time, the guide can be used by geologists and geology enthusiasts, as the basis for the organization of geotourist excursions. The visit will enrich to the historical-cultural heritage and natural beauty of this region and the excellent quality of the reception. The "reading tips" provided for each theme, and the bibliography, placed at the end of the volume, can compensate for the schematic treatise due to scarcity of space. Have a nice trip, Massimiliano Barchi and Fausto Pazzaglia 1 GEOGRAPHIC and GEOMORPHOLOGIC FRAMEWORK The Valnerina Geological Park (southeastern Umbria), spreads between the Spoleto and the Sibillini Mountains(fig. 1).

Reçu le 8 novembre 2004 Received November 8, 2004 Accepté le 20 août 2005 Accepted August 20, 2005 ABSTRACT In this study we examine the spatial variations in the fish communities in the Tiber River watershed, including both native and exotic species. Its main objectives were to assess the quality of fish communities of this area and to verify if factors of fish community disturbance are constant over the basin or if they change along the river gradient. The level of degradation was evaluated according to the ratio between the number of native fish species and total number of species (ZIC = Zoogeographic Integrity Coefficient). A total of 37 fish species was found, 13 native and 24 exotic (64.86%). Cyprinid is the prevailing family with 15 species (7 native, 8 exotic). The species most frequently introduced are cyprinids, followed by salmonids (4 species) and gobids (3 species). Of the 24 exotic species only 11 (45.83%) can be considered intentionally introduced by man: the proportion of intentionally introduced transplanted species (66.67%) is considerably higher than the translocated species (33.33%). There is a correlation between the longitudinal gradient of the river, the morphological evolution of the riverbed and decline in water quality.
