Abstract

The SIREN (Saving Italian hydRological mEasuremeNts) project is a citizen science project about the recovery of historical series of daily flows of Italian rivers acquired during the XX century. The project aims at raising the awareness of the citizens about the environmental challenges of the territories they live in by engaging them in the transcription of historical hydrological records, as well as to improve our understanding of the environmental changes and to guide the design of adaptation and mitigation measures with the data produced in the project. SIREN is an ongoing project that was launched in September 2023 on the platform Zooniverse. The project page can be reached at: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/siren-project/siren-project
