abstract:
Geo-hydrological hazards result from natural earth processes, related to the interaction between meteorological phenomena, the geological environment and man's activities, which can potentially cause loss of the exposed elements at risk. Data on the social and economic impact of geo-hydrological hazards in Italy occurring in the 1945-1990 period are discussed and the causes defined.
