SHORT - TERM LAND USE CHANGES AND HYDRODYNAMICS IN THE MUSON RIVER WATERSHED (TV) IN RELATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE

Abstract

Land development is the result of the economic and social organization of a community, and is connected to the adaption of resident population to changing environment. The assessment of land use changes can help controlling and understanding these transformations. This study illustrates the land use modifications of the Muson river basin (Treviso province, Northern Italy), occurred in the last twenty years, and that contribute to conditioning the river hydrodynamics, in relation to climate change
