Dam monitoring is crucial for long-term maintenance and structure safety, particularly for smaller dams, as they are more likely to accidents. For this reason, the PNRR under Nodes project has decided to establish and validate a methodology to characterize and monitor geophysical attributes of earthen embarkments for snow production. According to Italian legislation, small capacity dams are under the Regional Administration. The monitoring plans implemented by these entities, currently include technical assessments such as standard topographic and geotechnical measures, where these latter are generally carried out with invasive surveys. Integrating geophysical characterization allows a transition from punctual data provided by these conventional monitoring programs to a more comprehensive view.
