Topic: Sarno River


  
  sarno
The Sarno river is in the Campania region of Italy (of which Naples is the capital city).
The Sarno is 24 km long, and the Sarno basin (that is, the area drained by the river and its tributaries) covers 500 sq.
At the source, near Mt. Sarno itself, the river is still in a rather natural state (though "pristine" in an area of 750,000 people is perhaps stretching the description a bit).

  Pompeii
The town was founded in the 7th century BC by the Osci, a people of central Italy, on a hill near the mouth of the Sarno River[?], already in use as a safe port by Greek and Phoenician sailors.
The towns in were actually found in 1599 by an architect named Fontana, who was digging a new course for the river Sarno, but it took more than 150 years before a serious campaign was started to unearth these towns.
In 2002 another important discovery at the mouth of Sarno river revealed that the port also was populated and that people lived in palafittes[?], within a system of channels that suggested a likeness to Venice to some scientists.

They benefited from their location in a broad fertile delta at the mouth of the River Sarno, which took river traffic, and at the junction of important roads linking Neapolis, Nuceria and Stabiae.
Another feature of the countryside around Pompeii were some important sanctuaries, such as the one in the locality of Sant’Abbondio, dedicated to the cult of Dionysus, and the one on the "fondo Iozzino", a place of worship as early as the 6th century BC.
The ager Pompeianus stretched from the River Sarno in the south, which separated it from the ager Stabianus, to Vesuvius; westwards it extended to the sea, and included the ancient site of Oplontis, and eastwards it ran into the territory of Nola.

The goal of the work has been the study of the global behaviour of the hydrological catchment in order to analyse the water quality conditions into the hydraulic network of the basin and evaluate the general efficiency of the treatment strategies.
The model is formed by three connected channels: the main river is the Sarno River, the tributaries are Cavaiola and Fosso Bagni rivers.
The simulations in dry periods verified that also with low discharges and high water temperature (in summertime) the value of concentration of pollutants obtained at the treatment plant outlet is sufficient to preserve the imposed limit of BOD in the river network.

 Maritime archaeology - Wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Maritime archaeology is a discipline that studies human interaction with the sea, lakes and rivers through the study of vessels, shore side facilities, cargoes and human remains.
Sometimes, as in the case of the two "bronzi" found in Riace[?] (Calabria), real artworks were brought to the surface.
In other cases, like the very recent retrievals in Sarno[?] river (near Pompeii), other details enlarge the knowledge of some interesting elements: this retrieval allows us to suppose in fact that on the Tyrrhenian shore too there were little towns with palafittes[?], like in ancient Venice.

Pompeii was founded by a pre-Roman people named "Oskiis" between 700 and 600 b.C. The initial prosperity of the town is due to its position by the sea, as it was the port of the several settlings in Campania in opposition to the Greek towns on the same coast.

 Source book for the inland fishery resources of Africa Vol. 3
The fish population of the rivers were damaged by the changes in flood regime during the droughts and the fisheries there are also diminished.
This had an especially severe effect during the latest dry period when catches rose sharply as the lake decreased (1972–73) but fell sharply as the stocks of the small lake were unable to support the intensive effects of the same number of fishermen who were previously dispersed over ten times the area.
In the rivers, too, the failure of two or more successive floods virtually exterminated several of the major migratory species, leading to a disequilibrium in population structure.

To the south, however, flowed the river Sarno, giving the opportunity to the inhabitants of the area to undertake the fruitful activity of commercial traffic with the other cities in Campania.
The worst centres to be hit were Pompeii and Herculaneum and the land of the Sarno valley, all of which were covered by an enormous, white blanket.
Pompeii was covered by a layer about six metres thick and, despite being forbidden to pass through the city, an operation that was deemed necessary to defend the property of the survivors, it was ransacked by means of secret tunnels over the years.

River outfitters in Grand Teton National Park will have five more days of floating the Snake River this season, after the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation agreed Tuesday to hold off reducing dam releases.
The decision came after an outcry from several lake boaters who wondered why river trips were being given preference over other uses.
Initially dropping the river volume by 1,000 or 1,500 cfs won't hurt fish, Hudelson said, but later cuts have to be minute so trout are not trapped as the water drops.
