Abstract In this work the attenuation potential of flood peaks of 265 large reservoirs all over Italy is analysed, considering a flood management that excludes gates opening and then configures strictly unsupervised attenuation effects. Key factors of dams and related basins are considered to develop a ranking method that can emphasize the interplay between dam geometry and the hydrological processes acting in the upstream watershed. To maintain a homogeneous approach in such a wide geographic area, the attenuation index is computed applying the numerical solution of the differential equation of lakes and only two different standardized hydrograph shapes have been used. An index design flood from the rational method is used as the incoming peak value for each dam, enhancing the use of the results of a recent analysis of all Italian rainfall extremes. Even with a very simple approach, twenty-four different design incoming floods are derived, by varying the shape of the incoming hydrograph and the parameters of the rational method. Exploring the ranking results in all the alternatives, the attenuation potential obtained for all dams demonstrates to be strongly sensitive to the assumptions on the time of concentration and to some rainfall features. On the other hand, the hydrograph shape seems to exert much less influence on the ranking outcome. Results obtained can be useful to studies of wide-area flood frequency analyses, as we highlighted the sensitivity of the rank of attenuation efficiency to hydrologic parameters widely used in the assessment of the design flood peaks in ungauged basins.

Abstract The most valuable resource for sustaining life on earth is water. In dry and semi-arid areas, the problem of water scarcity can be resolved with the aid of fog collection techniques employing fog collectors. Fog collection is greatly influenced by a variety of factors. Some are design parameters, while others depend on ambient circumstances. Geometry and the mesh’s shade coefficient are important design factors that can be modified and have an impact on the rate at which fog collects in fog collectors. The shape of the mesh holes and the process used to create the mesh serve to identify geometry and measure the shade coefficient. In this paper, a straightforward mathematical technique is proposed to make it easier to calculate the shade coefficient of various mesh shapes used in fog harvesting and to provide an approximation of the mesh volume and cost. Five alternative geometries were used: the rectangular mesh, square mesh, Raschel mesh, triangular mesh, and hexagonal mesh. The current simple method will facilitate the design of the fog mesh collector and can assist in achieving the ideal shade coefficient and most effective mesh geometry for fog harvesting. Rectangular meshes were solely used as an example to evaluate the results. Stainless steel rectangular meshes with various shade coefficients were tested for fog collection, and the amount of water collected by each mesh varied. It was concluded that the optimum shade coefficient ranged 50–60% for fog collection.
