1. An electronic device for monitoring hydrogeological phenomena, adapted to detect stresses of a control surface, comprising:
a box-shaped casing configured for resting on the control surface;
one or more detection elements configured to convert a mechanical signal into an electric signal characteristic of a mechanical load acting on the control surface;
a plurality of signaling legs extending in a spoke-like fashion outwardly from the casing, the plurality of signaling legs extending substantially parallel to the control surface and being configured transmit the mechanical load acting on the control surface to one of the one of detection elements, each of the one or more detection elements being connected to one or more of the plurality of signalling legs;
a signal transceiver configured to transmit and receive data;
a memory unit storing a threshold value;
an electrical power supply source configured to power the electronic device;
a processing unit, connected to each of the one or more detection elements and to said signal transceiver, the processing unit being configured to process hydrogeological risk monitoring data and comprising:
an input module configured to receive said electric signal from each of said one or more detection elements;
a comparison module configured to compare said electric signal with a corresponding threshold value; and
a transmission module configured to transmit to the signal transceiver an alarm signal as a function of a match resulting from a comparison carried out by said comparison module.
