The study visit (activity 3.3 of the SeCure project) was aimed at University students of the "Hydraulic constructions" courses 1 and 2 of the Engineering Faculty of Padua.
In addition to the representatives of the Project Partners LP, PP1, PP2 (University of Padua, CNR, Veneto Region), about 60 students participated in the one-day visit, accompanied to visit the main hydraulic works at the mouths of the Po and Brenta rivers, by technicians from the reclamation consortia.
The characteristics and projects of these works were illustrated, intended in particular to contrast salt water intrusion, but also those relating to the management of the delicate drainage system of areas located below sea level, subsiding and subject to mechanical reclamation.
