The Mediterranean basin is indicated as a hot spot of climate change, which an area whose especially responsive to variations. insular environment one the most threatened by current in terms drought events, with serious consequences for water scarcity and stress. This issue even enhanced small islands, ecosystems are among more sensitive climatic changes availability. stable isotope composition hydrogen (δ2H) oxygen (δ18O) precipitation globally recognized powerful natural tracer cycle...
A multidisciplinary integrated approach was used to study the structural architecture influencing circulation pattern of geothermal fluids in Equi Terme area (NW Alpi Apuane, Tuscany). Geological-structural surveys were carried out define setting and characterize geometries kinematics fault systems. Chemical (major components) isotopic analyses (δ18O‰, δ2H‰, 3H, δ13C‰[DIC], δ34S‰[SO4]) performed on thermal water cold springs. geophysical survey also conducted by means both Magnetotelluric...
Over the last decades, groundwater resources at global level have suffered a significant deterioration due to nitrate pollution, mainly related input of agricultural fertilizers, manure, sewage, and untreated urban industrial effluents. The most impacted waters are those forming surface shallow reservoirs, which usually play key role in supplying civil, agricultural, activities. terminal portion Metauro River plain, located central Italy along Adriatic Sea coastline, hosts strategic phreatic...
Abstract Drought is a normal and recurrent climate feature, but one of the most important hazards that can produce negative effects on natural socioeconomic systems. The northern part Italy historically rich in water resources very fertile productive area. Recently, however, drought events increased their influence hydrological behaviour main rivers this region. In work, we analyse spatial distribution vegetation greenness during 2000–2020 period, using MODIS images at 1 km resolution....
Apuan Alps, in north-western Tuscany (Italy), have a very complex geological structure. For this reason karst springs show different behaviours according to the setting of aquifer systems. More than 80 are fed by carbonate aquifers; flow rates (Q) range from 10 1600 L/s, average, temperatures 8 15 °C. Deep and slow groundwater feed some low-thermal (20-30 °C). Major (Q > 100 L/s) concentrated two altimetry ranges, one 200 300 m a.s.l. seaward side (SW-NW) second 500 600 on inner (NE-SE)...
Water is an essential economic and social resource. It also finite vulnerable. For Europe, this generally accepted understanding has been translated into the European National Directive (2000/60/EC, D.Lgs. 152/2006). This law led to increased awareness of role resource its importance in socioeconomic, cultural, political realms. To protect resource, safeguard zones for drinking water sources must be delineated. In Italy, a source such as well or spring protected by means three-level zone:...
L'aquifère de la rivière Magra est principale source l'eau potable, l'industrie et l'agriculture dans zone La Spezia (NW l'Italie). Toutefois, nappe souffre d'une forte vulnérabilité aux problèmes surexploitation pollution. A cet effet, après l'établissement du modèle conceptuel système définition des conditions limites en utilisant, nous avons réalisé une modélisation hydrodynamique transport solutés par le biais code MODFLOW/GMS7.1. Le calé régime permanent puis transitoire sur période...
Forest fires are responsible for altering the hydrological dynamics and hydraulic properties of soils, including conductivity. This affects several processes, surface runoff, infiltration into unsaturated zone, leaching transport soil chemical components groundwater. In August 2021 a forest fire burnt 25 hectares pine tree olive groves in southern part Pisani Mountains (Tuscany, Italy). The objective work is to provide characterization in-situ conductivity values soils small catchment...
In the context of climate change, correct management groundwater, which is strategic for meeting water needs, becomes essential. Groundwater modeling particularly crucial sustainable and efficient groundwater. This manuscript provides different types according to data availability features three porous aquifer systems in Italy (Empoli, Magra, Brenta systems). The models calibrated on robust time series enabled performing forecast simulations capable representing quantitative qualitative...
The Versilia coastal plain hosts an important and strategic aquifer for water supply. Like all aquifers, it is particularly vulnerable to the saltwater intrusion, which can be amplified not only by fresh over-exploitation, but also effects of climate change, including increase extreme events. For optimal management this precious resource its protection both in quantitative qualitative terms, adequate knowledge system necessary through development conceptual mathematical hydrogeological...
