The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a widely used hydrological model designed to simulate water flow, sediment transport, nutrient cycling in complex river basins. This study employs SWAT assess the impact of both diffuse point sources contamination on quality Adige River basin, one Italy's largest most significant waterways. basin presents diverse system influenced by agricultural practices, urban development industrial activities, making it representative case for evaluating...
The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC is an important milestone for water management, aiming to achieve good chemical and ecological status bodies. Achieving these goals requires a comprehensive understanding of nutrients pollutants transfer through surface waters, especially in areas impacted by human activities. This study aims develop methodological framework setting up numerical models at the Northeast Italian River district scale analyze from agriculture, industrial...
Abstract Knowledge of the hydraulic and geological properties karst systems is particularly valuable to hydrogeologists because these represent an important source potable water in many countries. However, high heterogeneity that characterizes complicates definition hydrogeological properties, their estimation involves complex expensive techniques. In this study, a workflow for spring characterization was used analyze two springs, Nanto Mossano spring, located Berici Mountains (NE Italy)....
Abstract This work proposed a novel method to elucidate the controls of As mobility in complex aquifers based on an unsupervised machine learning algorithm, Self‐Organizing Map (SOM), and process‐based geochemical modeling. The approach is tested shallow Venetian Alluvial Plain (VAP) near Venice, Italy, where concentrations seasonally locally exceed recommended drinking water limits. SOM was fed using information from two surveys eight VAP boreholes, continuous reading hourly groundwater...
Surface water in streams and rivers is a valuable resource pollution events, if not tackled time, may have dramatic impacts on aquatic ecosystems. As such, order to prepare prevention plans measures or set-up timely remedial options, especially the early stages of incidents, simulation tools are great help for authorities, with specific reference environmental protection agencies river basin authorities. In this paper, we present development testing ORGANICS plugin embedded QGIS. The first...
The reconstruction of hydro-stratigraphic units in subsoil (a general term indicating all the materials below ground level) plays an important role assessment soil heterogeneity, which is a keystone groundwater flow and transport modeling. A geostatistical approach appears to be good way reconstruct subsoil, now other methods besides classical indicator (co)kriging are available as alternative approximations conditional probabilities. Some these techniques take specifically into account...
The aim of the article is to show role redox potential and ammonium ion concerning release arsenic into groundwater from naturally occurring sources. study carried out on both regional local scale. former performed area drainage basin Venice lagoon (DBVL), while latter interests a sub-area near Porto Marghera contaminated sites national interest, named Agricultural west areas (AWA). results work will elucidate processes continuity at different scales.
Stochastic multicomponent reactive transport modeling is a powerful approach to quantify the probability of non-exceedance (PNE) arsenic (As) critical concentration thresholds in groundwater. The applied well-characterized shallow alluvial aquifer near Venice, Italy. Here, As mobility depends primarily on rainfall-controlled redox-dependent precipitation-dissolution iron hydroxides. A Monte-Carlo analysis based calibrated three-dimensional flow and model targeted geochemical initial...
The Euganean Geothermal Field (EGF) and its thermal water are a relevant natural economical resource for Veneto Region (NE Italy). Approximately 14×106 m3 of hot (temperature ranging from 65°C to 86°C) were exploited by 145 wells in 2014. most aquifer is located at depth 300 m 600 fractured layers hosted within Mesozoic limestones. Six abandoned have been used monitor potentiometric level since 1975. results show periods decrease followed recovery related the exploitation water. aim this...
