Location
Central-eastern Italian Alps
Catchment size
1.9 km²
Climate
- alpine humid climate
- mean annual rainfall of about 1220 mm, 49% of which falls as snow
- precipitation monthly distribution shows a peak in early summer and a second one during fall
- in the lower parts of the catchment the snow cover period typically lasts from November to April. Runoff is usually dominated by snowmelt in May and June but summer and early autumn floods represent an important contribution to the flow regime. The average monthly temperature in the lower Vauz varies from 5.7 °C in January to 14.1 °C in July
Geology
Vegetation/Land use
The basin is almost undisturbed by human activity: neither roads nor urban areas are present. The soil is primarily vegetated with grass, with root zone depth around 20 cm. Sparse woody vegetation (mainly larch) is distributed on a few hillslopes in the lower portion of the catchment
Context of investigation
Measurements/Equipment
- Precipitation since 1953
- Meteorology
- Runoff
- Soil Moisture
