The Cesine Wetland, located along the Adriatic coast, was recognized as a Wetland of International Interest and National Natural Park. Managed by “World Wide Fund for nature” (WWF), it is considered groundwater dependent ecosystem which affected seawater intrusion. site selected to test environmental compatibility low-enthalpy geothermal power plant (closed loop) operating in aquifer saturated portion with purpose improving visitor centre. For this purpose, long-lasting thermal impact on...
Detailed knowledge of the groundwater flow field is one fundamental technical prerequisites for designing effective remediation measures contaminated aquifers. The environmental issues under discussion concern both implementation emergency measures, commonly carried out by means Pump&Treat (P&T) hydraulic containment systems, and actions, developed through adoption in-situ technologies treatments. In hydrogeological practice, analysis directions implemented on a piezometric...
Recent regulatory developments (DM 14.06.2017) have introduced the concept of Water Safety Plans (WSP) into Italian legislative framework, a new, challenging paradigm risk assessment, prevention, and control covering entire drinking water supply chain. When applied to abstraction step, it requires complex data collection processing, field survey, monitoring, research in order develop robust scientifically sound hydrogeological conceptual model, being core groundwater flow models...
A Feflow thermohaline model has been implemented in order to study borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) activity a coastal aquifer the South of Italy (Province Lecce, Puglia Region). The modeled closed-loop system consists two double u-pipe exchangers, installed 200 meters deep boreholes. main purpose numerical modeling was forecast thermal plume extension groundwater after long period exchange, calculating temperature trends observation points during 10 years transport simulation. complex...
A new pumping station was designed in the northern high plain of province Padua (Veneto region, north-eastern Italy), aiming to reach an overall abstraction rate about 2 m3/s, order relevantly contribute regional drinking water supply. Local unconfined aquifer is a highly permeable alluvial system, hydraulically connected Brenta river, one most important groundwater recharging sources entire hydrogeological basin, and Camazzole lake, former open-pit mine. This lake deepens below table...
