TECHNICAL AND RESEARCH PROJECTS
Dragoni has served as an expert consultant for Italian Civil Defense, dealing with many cases of environmental and hydrogeological disasters, including landslides and flooding in Valtellina (1987), large-scale landslide at Caramanico (1990) and groundwater pollution at Conca Ternana (1988 and 1993). On behalf of the University of Perugia, Dragoni was responsible for several public research contracts (ENEL, local authorities, etc.).

SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY
Walter Dragoni has carried out and coordinated research on hydrogeology (Darcy and non-Darcy systems), hydrology, limnology (studies on several lakes in Central Italy), karst (in temperate and arid climates), erosion and landslide phenomena. At present, mainly works on mathematical modeling of hydrogeologic and hydrologic systems and problem of influence of climatic variations on the water cycle. Also interested in the history of water management and archeology of water works.
Author or co-author of more than one hundred scientific papers.
