Impact of Wastewater Treatment Plant Discharge on Water Quality of a Heavily Urbanized River in Milan Metropolitan Area: Traditional and Emerging Contaminant Analysis Open
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can still be considered point sources of contamination into receiving aquatic ecosystems, especially for many emerging contaminants, which require additional treatments for their removal. In this study, …

Unexpected outcome of an extended drought period on the primary productivity of Lake Pusiano (Lombardia, Northern Italy): the importance of integrated lake-catchment modelling in cause-effect assessments Open
Water eutrophication is still a reason of concern for lakes at the foothills of the European Alps. Among them, small and shallow basins are the ones exposed to the highest risks. This occurs because they often display anoxic hypolimnions d…

Evaluation of nutrient loads conveyed to the deep subalpine lakes of Northern Italy through their main tributaries Open
Nutrient pollution is a critical issue for lakes, leading to cultural eutrophication, which damages the ecosystem and prevents water uses. Proper watershed management practices must be put into action to effectively oppose eutrophication. …

A bibliometric review on the Water Framework Directive twenty years after its birth Open
The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) is one of the most studied environmental legislations and recently turned twenty. The paper deals with a literature search and analysis of 4120 references related to this Directive. After a peri…

Estimation of long-term series of total nutrient loads flowing into a large perialpine lake (Lake Como, Northern Italy) from incomplete discrete data by governmental monitoring Open
Continuous series of nutrient loads released into a water body are essential for nutrient budgeting, water quality modelling and watershed management activities. A quintessential example of pursued data are the series of total nutrient loa…

Integration of In Situ and Remote Sensing Measurements for the Management of Harmful Cyanobacteria Blooms. A Lesson from a Strategic Multiple-Uses Reservoir (Lake Occhito, South Italy) Open
Harmful cyanobacteria blooms (HCBs) are one of the main water quality threats affecting reservoirs. Guidelines suggest integrating laboratory, real-time in situ, and remote sensing data in the monitoring of HCBs. However, this approach is …

Red Algae Bloom Detection in Occhito Lake Combining MERIS and MODIS Data Open
In winter 2008-2009, Lake Occhito, a strategic multiple-uses reservoir in South Italy, was affected by an extraordinary Planktothrix rubescens bloom. P. rubescens is a filamentous potentially toxic cyanobacterium which has recently coloniz…

Restoring lakes through external phosphorus load reduction: the case of Lake Pusiano (Southern Alps) Open
We estimated the external phosphorus load (EPL) between 1960 and 2015 in Lake Pusiano, a mid-sized subalpine lake that reached its maximum trophic state in the mid-1980s. Using historical data we also estimated the internal phosphorus load…
