TerraNava library

Public references for hydrology, water and territory

This English edition is a curated editorial selection of the references TerraNava uses most often when discussing hydrology, drought, flood risk, governance and territorial decision-making.

Selected reading

A first English reading list for water, basins and risk

These sources offer a strong starting point because they combine institutional authority, hydrological method and direct usefulness for technical framing.

Reading routes

Three compact pathways into the library

The point is to help non-specialist readers start from a clear sequence rather than an unordered pile of sources.

Route 01

Regulation and planning

Start with the Water Framework Directive, then move into basin planning references and European water resources assessments.

Route 02

Flood risk and public cartography

Use SNCZI and hydrological guidance before making territorial or institutional claims about exposure and return periods.

Route 03

Climate, drought and hydrological change

Connect IPCC water-cycle readings with WMO and operational climate references before discussing drought and hydroclimatic pressure.

Next step

Expand the library through methodology, HydroRisk and technical discussion

This English page is a curated first wave. The full evidence layer continues to grow through TerraNava’s methodology, HydroRisk and direct technical work.
