Abstract. Karstic aquifers are well known for their vulnerability to groundwater contamination. This is due characteristics such as thin soils and point recharge in dolines, shafts, swallow holes. In karstic areas, often the only freshwater source. case of Apulia region (south-eastern Italy), where a large deep carbonate aquifer, affected by fracturing phenomena, located. Several methods (GOD, DRASTIC, SINTACS, EPIK, PI, COP) assessment intrinsic (Iv) were selected applied an Apulian test...
Abstract Landfill sites are subjected to long-term risks of accidental spill leachate through the soil and consequential contamination groundwater. Wide areas surrounding landfill can seriously be threatened with possible consequences human health environment. Given potential impact different coexisting anthropic pollution sources (i.e., agriculture cattle farming) on same site, perturbation groundwater quality may due multiple factors. Therefore, it is a challenging issue correctly...
The study discusses the large karstic coastal aquifer of Vlora Bay. This case is peculiar, as submarine groundwater discharge has a relevant rate terrestrial inflow in an almost closed bay that located environmentally valuable area.The based on four methodological activities: geological and hydrogeological conceptualisation, climatic hydrological balance, numerical modelling, monitoring. A geodatabase was created considering hundreds data points (wells, springs, rivers, lagoons, seas)...
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...
The data presented in this article are related to the research described by "How can role of leachate on nitrate concentration and groundwater quality be clarified? An approach for landfills operation (Southern Italy)" (Cossu et al., 2018). set contains chemical analyses leachate, isotope analysis around a group located municipality Conversano, close Bari, main town Apulia Region Italy). Groundwater samples were collected from eighteen wells. hydrogeological study was used define geochemical...
The Maltese Islands are located in the central Mediterranean area, on Malta-Sicily Platform. archipelago consists of three main islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino, several other small uninhabited islets. largest has an extent 246 km2.The aim this paper is to describe collaboration between CNRIRPI EWA (Energy Water Agency Malta) efforts upgrade hydrogeological knowledge Malta Island, pursuing sustainable utilisation groundwater resources. This will support water management activities for...
The use of geothermal energy resources to support anthropogenic activities have a long-lasting tradition, renewed in recent decades with the increasing low enthalpy (LEG) combined systems heat pumps and exchange, exploiting enormous thermal capacity very temperature variability subsoil, including rocks water. further potential global increase LEG could be enormous, although is already main sources Europe, contributing significantly reach 2030 UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) on...
