Hydrographical survey : technical observations and strategic role for sustainable development

Cavaliere, Giovanni

The necessity to know the topography of the seabed for both environmental problems and construction of marine works and infrastructures produced new techniques of hydrographical surveys which, thanks to the use of GPS instruments, are able to provide for detailed techcnical maps useful to satisfy all planning requirements. In this report, the author wants to analyse the most important elements connected with the hydrographical surveys as the planning and execution of measures, the data analysis and collection, the vertical reference surface, the value of hydrographical surveys within the territorial situation of Taranto in order to defend the coast and to build strategic marine works for the development of the seaport.
