Future Hydrology and Leonardo da Vinci

I was asked to talk about Leonardo da Vinci (see here about his resumé) and project in the future its intuitions about doing science and hydrology. Not an easy task tough. Fortunately there were large analogies with some recent reflections I made on this blog, especially regarding patterns and patterns description.
What I produced, indeed,  would need some further thinking and deepening, but, at the talk I had some time constraints and I could not expand further (I took a lot more time than planned, when the Convener told us, we have more time). Anyway, the result is here below
