Abstract
A physically-based Integrated Hydrological-Geotechnical model (IHG) able to assess the rainfall-induced landslide susceptibility was developed, refined and applied in GIS environment along the past years (Passalacqua 2002; Federici et al. 2014; Bovolenta et al. 2016), showing its reliability. It is a useful instrument to landslide susceptibility evaluations and land-use planning over wide areas. The present paper focuses on the modeling of water table oscillation due to rainfall, comparing different hydrological models.
