Workplan for working group “Managerial Tools”CONCLUDED

T2 - 4-8/06/07 - Study visits of Russian experts (3-4) to Milan(originally planned for September). identify ways to use geologicalinformation for city planning in partner countries; clarify legal and administrative responsibilities of administrative bodies. Awaited Results: Model of geological information applying on regional level and especially for city planning (requirement of new Russian legislation).T5 - 4-8/06/07 - Study visits of Russian experts (3-4) to Milan(originally planned for September). Familiarization with relevant technological and methodological approaches used for decision-support. first hand experience in provision and handling of geological information to policy makers, investors and public.T2 - 10/08/07 - Developing of a Review of systems of geological control and licensing systems in partner countries/cities

Workplan for working group “Ground Water Flow Model”


MAIN CONCLUSIONS after June study visit in Milan

• whichever application of groundwater flow and transport model it must consider like reference base a regional study;

• the objective declared from the City of St. Petersburg consists in resolving problems of three pilot areas;

• the Province of Milan proposal consists in applying to local scale the SoilGIS model (simplification of Modflow calculation code), with the following implementations: ability to modelling more than one layer and to permit the interactions between different aquifers and superficial water bodies;

• The GWFM working group has the necessity of having data, even if schematic, to begin to trace a first hydrogeological study of regional scale and pilot areas

• Complete information about pilot areas will be ready in November in order to allow the Province of Milan to make a preliminary study of groundwater flow

to implement two functions in SOIL-GIS:• include a multi-layer modelling capability;• include an explicit representation of river-aquifer interaction (“river package” in Modflow 2000).

The data input must be supplied for every layer that we want to modelling. The porosity and permeability values are considered uniform on all the layer thickness while they can change in x and y directions.

Parco della lambretta


The “Amici del Metrobosco - Parco della Lambretta” Committee (http://www.parcolambretta.it) is promoting a concept contest,

"a tree today, a wood tomorrow" This competition is aimed at collecting proposals for the future “Parco della Lambretta”, within the Metrobosco project, promoted by the Province of Milan.The promoters aim at stimulating the creativity and curiosity of students of Italian and foreign faculties of Architecture, Engineering (Construction/Architecture Engineering, Environment Engineering) and Science (Natural Science, Earth Sciences, Environment Sciences, Geology). Future architects, developers or designers are therefore invited to formulate proposals and ideas to create the public park in via Rubattino, Milano, partially covering the area where the Innocenti production plants were located until only a few years ago.
