Average annual rainfall measured in the MBL Consortium are between 800 (southern area) and 1000 mm (northern area) with two peaks in spring and autumn. During the summer season most of water supply comes from the irrigation network. The upper-medium part of the basin is irrigated by surface water flowing, while in the bottom part of the basin water is lifted by the Adda and Po rivers through proper pumping systems. Our test-site is located in central area of the basin, in Livraga town, where an eddy-covariance station and TDR probes for the soil moisture profile have been installed to measure evapotranspiration fluxes and hydrological processes.
