Groundwater in karst aquifers is frequently tapped for drinking purposes, due to frequent huge volumes of resources. Unfortunately, vulnerability these can be high, possible fast transfer recharge water on springs by the network. On Gran Sasso Mountain regional aquifer, several are subjected withdrawal and an updated evaluation their potential now a fundamental issue considered, facing climate change effects, which reflect variation discharge regimen values. To distinguish between different...
This paper describes the contents of new Hydrogeological Map City Rome (1:50,000 scale). The map extends to entire municipality (1285 km2) and is based on both most recent scientific studies groundwater field survey activities carried out in order fill data gaps several areas examined territory. result a combination different urban expertise Geographic Information System (GIS)-based mapping performed using available has been produced with intention furnishing updated information regarding...
Carbonate karstified aquifers represent one of the most important groundwater reservoirs for both drinking purposes and environmental preservation. Currently, recharge–discharge equilibrium in these is at risk depletion from withdrawal increases global change effects. Based on factors, detailed analyses recharge distribution over last 20 years (2001–2020), terms rainfall snow melting contributions, have been carried out Gran Sasso regional aquifer (Central Italy). Using same input data,...
Although the Acque Albule Basin has been studied since middle of 19th century, a comprehensive geologic conceptual model area not yet developed.The natural setting heavily modified by anthropic activities.Rapid evolution during last 25 years caused many interferences, which have led to drastic increase hazards and linked risks, mainly related water resource overexploitation subsidence.The implementation an exhaustive framework become mandatory for environmental management purposes.Starting...
Groundwater is the main and safest source of water used for drinking purposes in many urban rural communities worldwide. A deep knowledge aquifer systems terms quality, vulnerability renewability fundamental to preserving groundwater resources. Thanks contributions by different members Water Alliance synergy with Sapienza University, during November 2019 a multiisotopic regional scale analysis was carried out on tapped wide area Lombardy Region. The study aimed improve recharge mechanisms,...
This paper presents the preliminary results of a multidisciplinary study to determine possible hydrogeological survey methodology be applied in seismic field.In fact case earthquakes, variations stress involving migration fluids occur, with consequent changes flow and geochemistry groundwater. For this reason, it was identified site at Bussi sul Tirino (Central Italy); multiple geophysical parameters including water level, temperature, electrical conductivity, crustal deformation,...
This study is focused on the analysis of seasonal and annual variability in groundwater levels coastal aquifer Castelporziano Presidential Estate, a protected area 59 Km2 located periphery Rome. A comparison with local trends rainfall at “Castello” gauging station different time scales (monthly, annual) has been carried out. The results highlight differences between eastern northern sector Estate. Indeed, effect due to meteoric recharge direct regular during year respect sectors Moreover,...
In an aquifer contaminated by LNAPLs, several types of LNAPL can been find with different composition and features, which influence its fate transport in groundwater the estimation volume.Over time, two models have developed for free phase volume estimation: Pancake Model Vertical Equilibrium Model. A sensitivity analysis has carried out, using both models, to evaluate type on estimation. This out applying every examined monitoring well features three types: gasoline, diesel andtheir...
Critical Zone (CZ) science has developed in recent years, involving different disciplines that vary depending on the specific research focus. This multidisciplinary approach highlights relevance of Underground component (UCZ) regulating water cycle, which can influence complex equilibrium whole CZ. In this study, we analyze evolution during time parameters, characterizing saturated and unsaturated parts UCZ Castelporziano Estate, a natural reserve located coastal area close to Rome. The...
