This study represents the first investigation of microbiological groundwater pollution as a function aquifer type and season for Apulia region southern Italy. Two hundred seven wells were randomly selected from those monitored by Regional Agency Environmental Protection emergency use. Both compulsory (Escherichia coli, Total Coliform, Enterococci) optional (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella spp., Heterotrophic Plate Count at 37 22 °C) parameters assessed regularly these wells. Groundwater...
The objective of the present work is a spatial analysis aimed at supporting hydrological and water quality model applications in Canale d’Aiedda basin (Puglia, Italy), data-limited area. part sensitive environmental area Taranto that requires remediation soil, subsoil, surface water, groundwater. A monitoring plan was defined to record streamflow parameters needed for calibrating validating models, database archived GIS environment built, which includes climatic data, soil hydraulic...
Due to its widespread presence in groundwater, nitrate contamination has become a major global concern.Identifying the different sources of this contamination, particularly those related agricultural practices, is therefore crucial assess negative impacts.The European Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC) requires protection all natural freshwater resources with maximum concentration threshold 50 mgNO 3 + L -1 , applicable regardless intended use.Many studies have used chemical approach identify...
In this paper, the preliminary results of research project "Monitoraggio continuo per le Acque refiue Urbane ed Industriali l'ecoindustria" (MAUI) are depicted. Specifically, innovative methods for real-time monitoring urban and industrial wastewater, along with new data management techniques, have been employed to manage acquired by a vapor phase e-nose, namely VPeN, based on semiconductor sensor array, which was used get data.
In Italy the water collected is distributed through aqueducts, composed by a collection and treatment systems for potabilization. Apulia belongs to Southern Apennines District. This paper describes research activity on territory of Taranto province identify supply trough analysis main sources, distribution channels different end-users; analyze potential sources drinking pollution [1–3]; monitoring tanks in Taranto. It permit situation evaluate new kind source water.
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) provide optimal conditions for the environmental spread of Legionella. As part Evaluation Sanitary Risk Related to Discharge Ground (SCA.Re.S) project, this study was conducted evaluate presence Legionella in WWTP effluent and groundwater samples collected from two wells located downstream plant. The were analyzed determine concentrations spp using standard culture-based method molecular techniques, followed by genomic sequencing analysis. detected only...
Sulphide was adopted as odorous compound in a simulation of AS Diffusion, an interesting process to treat odors at wastewater treatment plants by diffusing air into aerobic basins. Its behaviour were experimentally evaluated along with its effects on the biomass and biological processes supposed some author diffusion test. Two bench scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) fed parallel real primary sewage monitored after adding increasing concentrations sulphide one them. In this reactor,...
Hydro-geological instability represents a problem of considerable importance for our country, given the extensive damage caused to property and, most importantly, loss many human lives. Continued occurrences these events suggest us about need enforce risk management policy related prediction event and mitigation his effects. Consequently, basic approach focused on repairing provision benefits, has be overcome toward culture prevention prediction, spread out at various levels, based...
Summary Rapid, precise and quantitative assessment of soil quality is crucial for sustainable evaluation monitoring the effects management on resource under agricultural systems characterization land degradation processes. Over past three decades, Visible (VIS) near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy have been shown to be an effective alternative conventional laboratory analysis, can provide time cost approaches prediction several properties related indicators. For this study, VIS-NIR spectroscopic...
Commission Directive 91/676/EC introduced water protection from nitrates agricultural sources. The Puglia Region approved its 'Nitrate Action Plan' (NAP) in 2013, establishing nitrate-vulnerable zones (NVZs), with restrictions on agronomic management and administrative obligations based territorial studies. However, those aims require appropriate feedback through monitoring activities to identify the real sources of nitrate contamination. DEMETRA-DSS project arises a synergy between ICT...
Nowadays due to the worldwide increase of environmental contaminations, characterization polluted sites has become very important. In light this/As a consequence, development new methodologies, able quickly and cheaply evaluate contamination is an arduous challenge but necessary. The use geophysical techniques combined with direct measurement (such as groundwater soil analysis) can be useful adopted integrated approach for rapid pollution detection assessment. this work, PCB historically...
The growing biomass in the wastewater treatment plant is called "activated sludge"; usually it mainly composed by bacteria (95%) and Protozoa Metazoans (5%). sludge biological composition a good indicator of state health. In this study, an initial characterization microorganisms present activated carried out through DNA analysis.The aim activity development procedures for oxidation lines, to identify microorganism throught new approach using biomolecular analysis definition standard protocols.
