Description

Knowledge of the characteristics of the elements that make up the water cycle (precipitation, runoff, evaporation and changes in the volume of water retained) in medium-sized catchments that are not affected by anthropological factors is extremely important, since their water balance is a direct reflection of the climatic conditions and thus clear indicator of any possible changes in these conditions. 

Abstract (German)

Die Kenntnis der Charakteristiken von Komponenten des Wasserkreislaufs (Niederschlag, Abfluss, Verdunstung und Speicheränderungen) in unbeeinflussten mittelgrossen Einzugsgebieten ist sehr wichtig, da deren Wasserbilanzen unmittelbar die klimatischen Bedingungen widerspiegeln und damit mögliche Veränderungen deutlicher erkennen lassen. 

Abstract (French)

Le bilan hydrologique des bassins versants de taille moyenne non influencés par les activités humaines reflète directement les conditions climatiques qui y règnent et permet ainsi d’en détecter les changements éventuels. Il est donc très important de bien connaître les caractéristiques des composants du cycle de l’eau (précipitations, écoulement, évaporation et variations des réserves). 

Abstract (Italian)

La conoscenza delle componenti del ciclo dell’acqua (precipitazioni, deflussi, evaporazione e variazioni delle riserve) nei bacini non influenzati di media grandezza è molto importante, poiché i loro bilanci idrici rispecchiano direttamente le condizioni climatiche e quindi permettono di riconoscere più chiaramente gli eventuali cambiamenti delle stesse.
