The combined vulnerability: a novel hybrid index for the aquifer vulnerability assessment Open
The aim of the present work is to extend the existing overlay and index method for aquifer vulnerability assessment to groundwater transport. This novel procedure falls into the category of “hybrid” methods since it combines th…

Extending the Overlay and Index: A Simple Method for Assessing Aquifer Vulnerability in a Combined Vadose Zone—Groundwater Flow System Open
This work extends the overlay and index methods for intrinsic groundwater vulnerability, that typically involve the soil surface and the vadose zone, to groundwater (saturated) transport. The method is “hybrid” as it combines the standard …

Hydrological features of Matese Karst Massif, focused on endorheic areas, dolines and hydroelectric exploitation Open
This study presents an original mapping of hydrological karst features of the Matese massif (southern Italy), whose relevance is given by large basal springs supplying millions of people and the hydroelectric exploitation of the major endo…

Groundwater Resources in a Complex Karst Environment Involved by Wind Power Farm Construction Open
The need to produce energy from clean energy sources has caused public administrations and private companies to look for suitable places. The windiness detected in the eastern area of the Matese karst massif (southern Italy) has favored th…

The phenomenon of ascendant flow which characterizes karst springs, southern Apennines Open
<p>The hydraulic phenomenon of upwelling, affecting several karst springs of Apennines, has been investigated through water level monitored in several boreholes of different depth, and chemical-physical data of springs water. Three d…

Natural radioactivity content in Italian bottled mineral waters Open
Bottled water consumption has a long history but nowdays bottled water industry is a fast-growing sector of the world industry. Most of the water in bottles comes from springs or underground aquifers. The mineral content of the aquifer is …

A Steady-State Model to Simulate Groundwater Flow in Unconfined Aquifer Open
The hydraulic and hydrogeological features of the Caposele aquifer have been investigated by using a numerical groundwater flow model. In particular, groundwater flow simulations were performed for a multilayered, unconfined aquifer in ste…

Hydrogeology of the Karst Area of the Grassano and Telese Springs Open
This work deals with the hydraulic phenomenon of the ascendant groundwater flow affecting the karst area of the Grassano and Telese springs (Campania, Southern Italy). It has been investigated through piezometric measurements, discharge an…
