ABSTRACT This paper describes the hydrogeological map of western Po Plain, located in Piedmont (north-western Italy). plain represents a system European relevance, and Plain is most important groundwater reservoir Region. The 1:300,000 scale was realised using previous new data to update knowledge this area. provides information about complexes their type degree permeability, water table levels depth, piezometric level fluctuation, lithostratigraphic cross-sections, thickness, percentage...
This paper aims at systemizing knowledge related to geodiversity assessment for water resources and its evaluation. The novel aspect connected of this is the analysis components hydrological system, both superficial underground level, in territory Sesia Val Grande United Nations educational, scientific, cultural organization (UNESCO) Global Geopark (Northwest Italy). More specifically, research establishes a conceptual model specific procedure evaluation on regional scale, by means...
Abstract The Maggiore Valley well field plays a fundamental role in supplying drinking water to large territory of the Piedmont Region (northwestern Italy) and has been intensively exploited since early twentieth century. This resource is hosted deep, multilayered aquifer system. main purpose this study was characterize recharge processes deep through hydrochemical isotopic assessments, as quality drainage areas. For purpose, 128 physical–chemical analyses (major ions) 50 (δ 18 O δ 2 H) were...
As our planet faces the complex challenges of global climate change, understanding and effectively communicating critical environmental indicators have become critical. This study explores importance reporting groundwater temperature data as a key component in broader implications change with use new graphical tools. More specifically, (GWT) stripes bi-plots GWT anomalies vs. time was proposed. For an in-depth examination this subject, monitoring wells situated Piedmont Po plain (NW Italy)...
This paper describes the spatial and temporal variability of hydrogeochemistry shallow aquifer in western Po Plains, located Piedmont (northwestern Italy), using groundwater monitoring network data for main chemical–physical parameters. Hydrochemical maps 2015–2020 period were created to identify natural anthropogenic factors responsible remarkable variability. Temporal variations 2000–2020 defined show existence variabilities that previously not investigated. The elaborations significant...
Rainfall and temperature variability causes changes in groundwater recharge that can also influence quality by different processes. The aim of this study is the analysis hydrogeochemical variations over time due to meteorological two areas Italy: an alluvial aquifer Piedmont Po plain alluvial-pyroclastic Campanian plain. examined plains show with natural not satisfying European drinking water standards, or anthropogenic contamination. peculiar due, plain, closeness volcanic areas, presence...
In the context of global climate change, understanding relationships between and groundwater is increasingly important. This study in NW Alps represents first regional-scale investigation feature variation mountain aquifers due to variability. The analysis temperature discharge 28 natural mineral water springs meteorological parameters (rainfall air temperature) permitted us evaluate annual behaviour possible trends these during period from 2001 2018. showed a positive trend almost...
Monitoring the qualitative and quantitative state of groundwater is a fundamental tool for investigating preventing effects climate change anthropic activities on water resources. This study represents first investigation into dependency shallow temperature (GWT) variability in Turin metropolitan area (Piedmont, NW Italy).First, GWT air (AT) data regional scale time period 2010-2019 was carried out order to understand relationship between two temperatures. It possible observe that shows...
Stable water isotopes are valuable tools to determine the flow pathways, and, when combined with other analyses, can provide insights into hydrogeology in complex settings.  This study aims at determining recharge and pathways processes of groundwater an alpine stream basin, focusing on a spring characterized by exceptionally high discharge.Montellina Spring is one drinkable springs highest discharge Turin Province (Piedmont, NW Italy); its varies between 50 180 L/s. It feeds local...
Fontanili are peculiar lowland springs that occur in Northern Italy along the transition zone between higher and lower Po plain (called ‘‘fontanili line’’), where phreatic table of alluvial shallow aquifer spontaneously or anthropically reaches soil surface. These provide a variety ecological benefits such as self-cleansing water, stable water temperature unique ecosystems. They extremely important from an hydrogeological point view, well key...
Gold mining activities can have long-lasting impacts on the environment. These include soil and water contamination due to generation of acidic drainage (AMD) release potentially toxic elements (PTEs) including metals metalloids as well other chemical residues derived from ore processing.In Anzasca Valley (NW Italy), Pestarena Crocette gold mines were exploited Middle Ages until their final closure in 1961. The study area is an alpine valley where paragneiss, mycascists orthogneiss outcrop....
The Piedmont Plain (NW Italy) is characterized by a shallow phreatic aquifer hosted in fluvial complex (gravel and sand),  overlying a fluvial-lacustrine marine sand with silty clayey levels) containing deep confined/semiconfined aquifers.Deep aquifers are essential for the supply of drinking water Plain. However, detailed information on deep lacking, such as regional piezometric map, continuous monitoring table variations over time...
In Naturally Occurring Asbestos (NOA) rich areas, water flows through asbestos bearing rocks and soils generates waterborne fibres that may migrate in air become a risk for humans. Research on the migration dispersion after vaporisation has been so far only marginally evaluated. This study investigates of from set suspensions contaminated by chrysotile Balangero (Italy), under controlled laboratory conditions. We evaluated i) morphological modifications might occur to during air, ii) amount...
