The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of the glacier melt in the water balance. A first esteem of the amount of glacial-derived water in the upper Adda river basin was made by using and comparing different methods to quantify the glacial component in the monthly average water balance. It was estimated that glaciers released between 50 and 100 *10 6m 3 of water within the upper Adda basin in the last years. Trying to distribute this value through the year, it appears that the glacial meltwater represents about 10-15% of the river flux at the Fuentes section in August.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of the glacier melt in the water balance. A first esteem of the amount of glacial-derived water in the upper Adda river basin was made by using and comparing different methods to quantify the glacial component in the monthly average water balance. It was estimated that glaciers released between 50 and 100 *10 6m 3 of water within the upper Adda basin in the last years. Trying to distribute this value through the year, it appears that the glacial meltwater represents about 10-15% of the river flux at the Fuentes section in August.
