A characterization of medium enthalpy geothermal resources has been carried out in the Southern Apennines "Guardia Lombardi" site (Campania Region, Italy) within the framework of the Vigor Project. Due to the intense hydrocarbon exploration carried out in Italy since the '50, a wide public dataset of well data and seismic reflection profiles is available for the study site. Moreover, a scientific cooperation with the ENI Italian Oil Company has been established in order to access to more detailed dataset also including wells information and core samples. A three-dimensional geological model of the reservoir-caprock system has been developed through an integrated interpretation of the available geological, geophysical, hydrogeological and geochemical information in the study area. The geothermal reservoir of "Guardia Lombardi" site is constituted by the Cretaceous-Eocene fractured shallow water carbonates belonging to the Apulian platform. Such units have been structured in a buried antiformal stack during the Apennine orogenesis. The reservoir fluids are mainly composed of CO2, which rests above of brackish water in the central part of the deep carbonatic aquifer culmination (i.e., Monte Forcuso 1 well). Conversely along the flanks of the buried anticline (e.g., Bonito 1 Dir, Ciccone 1 wells) the reservoir fluids consist of saline water, not showing any free gas phase. The temperature of this fluids recorded into the reservoir are 120-125°C at the depth of about 3000 m below the ground level (e.g. Bonito 1 well). Given the quite good permeability of the fractured carbonate rocks, numerical simulation performed in this work estimated that a water production of about 13.5-20 kg/s might be achieved according to the chosen technical solution (a single production well vs production- reinjection doublet). Results confirm that the "Guardia Lombardi" site represents an interesting area for the exploitation of this medium enthalpy geothermal resource.

This note aims to define the sustainability of groundwater exploitation for agriculture in the case of a wide coastal karstic aquifer. Numerical modelling was used as a tool to point out the criteria to reduce the quantitative and qualitative groundwater degradation risks. The real heterogeneous aquifer has been simulated as an equivalent homogeneous porous media within cells or elements. Its surface extension is 2230 km2 and it was uniformly discretized into 97,200 cells, each one with an area of 0.6 km2. Vertically, to allow a good lithological and hydrogeological discretization, the area was divided into 12 layers, from 214 to -350 m asl. Inactive cells were used along the boundary with the confining Murgia-Salento aquifer, as conceptual underground watershed due to the absence of flow. A CHD (Constant Head Boundary) was used along the sea boundary, while additional boundary conditions were used for salinity modelling. The results of calibration can be summarised considering the correlation coefficient, equal to 0.92, the standard deviation, equal to 0.7, the mean square error, equal to 0.65 and the absolute mean residue (RMS), equal to 12%. The water budget of the study area was calculated in each cell using a GIS elaboration. Rainfall and temperature monthly data coming from 16 gauges were considered since 1915 until 2000, considering an infiltration coefficient (IC) for each hydrogeological complex. The period since 1925 until 1975 was selected to assess the water balance for the steady state conditions, thus avoiding the trend effect of climate change, particularly relevant in the area starting from the eighties. After implementing and calibrating the steady-state scenario two transient validate-scenarios were implemented for two decades_ eighties and nineties. In these decades the discharge increase for drinking and irrigation purposes and the recharge decrease due to climate variations were considered. The salinity and piezometric trends were thus obtained. As most of the global climate change models predict decreasing precipitation and increasing temperatures and hence evapotraspiration in the Mediterranean region, three forecasts piezometric scenarios, 2000-2020, 2020-2040 and 2020-2060 were subsequently implemented. On this basis, the quantity degradation of groundwater resources was assessed, showing a non-sustainability of the current trend of groundwater exploitation.

L'utilizzo delle risorse idriche sotterranee è iniziato in Calabria con la progressiva captazione delle numerose sorgenti ed è via via aumentato, a partire dai primi decenni del secolo scorso, mediante la perforazione di numerosi pozzi, oramai diverse decine di migliaia. Oggi la quasi totalità delle acque potabili utilizzate in Calabria, più di quanto accade nel resto della nazione, proviene dalle acque sotterranee. La Calabria è una regione le cui peculiarità geologiche, idrogeologiche e climatiche la hanno resa ricca di risorse idriche. Tali caratteristiche naturali non sono state però sufficienti a impedire ricorrenti eventi siccitosi, anche nei più recenti decenni. Tali risorse, evidentemente di interesse strategico per la regione, sono soggette a prelievi crescenti, per effetto di una domanda in costante aumento, e a uno stressante e tendenziale calo della ricarica, dovuto alle variazioni climatiche. L'effetto complessivo è che i principali acquiferi risultano, con delle differenze di caso in caso, soggetti agli effetti preoccupanti dell'inquinamento e del sovrasfruttamento. Ciò premesso, il contributo si pone l'obiettivo, a partire dalla disamina delle condizioni naturali, con particolare riferimento agli aspetti idrogeologici, di descrivere la rilevanza delle risorse idriche sotterranee regionali, di individuare i punti di forza del loro utilizzo e, allo stesso tempo, di focalizzare su i rischi di degrado qualitativo e quantitativo delle risorse stesse. Descritti i caratteri idrogeologici dei principali complessi idrogeologici e dei principali acquiferi presenti nella regione, si individuano i principali fattori del rischio di degrado delle risorse idriche sotterranee. Gli acquiferi presenti in Calabria sono soggetti a rischi di degrado qualitativo, per l'intrinseca vulnerabilità degli acquiferi e per la rilevanza del carico inquinante antropico, potenzialmente fonte di pericolo, e a rischi di degrado quantitativo, in relazione alla crescente e spesso insoddisfatta domanda idrica, che determina condizioni di sovrasfruttamento delle risorse idriche sotterranee. Nel caso della Calabria, visto che la gran parte degli acquiferi principali sono costieri, il rischio derivante dagli effetti dell'intrusione marina lega in modo duale i rischi di degrado quantitativo a quelli di natura quantitativa. Lo studio delle acque sotterranee della Calabria deve quindi essere contestualizzato in quello più ampio, a scala globale, che affronta la gestione degli acquiferi costieri, il caso più complesso di gestione di risorse idriche sotterranee.

Recent international researches have underlined the evidences of climate changes throughout the world. Among the consequences of climate change, there is the increase in the frequency and magnitude of natural disasters, such as droughts, windstorms, heat waves, landslides, floods and secondary floods (i.e. rapid accumulation or pounding of surface water with very low flow velocity). The Damaging Hydrogeological Events (DHEs) can be defined as the occurrence of one or more simultaneous aforementioned phenomena causing damages. They represent a serious problem, especially in DHE-prone areas with growing urbanisation. In these areas the increasing frequency of extreme hydrological events could be related to climate variations and/or urban development. The historical analysis of DHEs can support decision making and land-use planning, ultimately reducing natural risks. The paper proposes a methodology, based on both historical and time series approaches, used for describing the influence of climatic variability on the number of phenomena observed. The historical approach is finalised to collect phenomenon historical data. The historical flood and landslide data are important for the comprehension of the evolution of a study area and for the estimation of risk scenarios as a basis for civil protection purposes. Phenomenon historical data is useful for expanding the historical period of investigation in order to assess the occurrence trend of DHEs. The time series approach includes the collection and the statistical analysis of climatic and rainfall data (monthly rainfall, wet days, rainfall intensity, and temperature data together with the annual maximum of short-duration rainfall data, from 1 hour to 5 days), which are also used as a proxy for floods and landslides. The climatic and rainfall data are useful to characterise the climate variations and trends and to roughly assess the effects of these trends on river discharge and on the triggering of landslides. The time series approach is completed by tools to analyse simultaneously all data types. The methodology was tested considering a selected Italian region (Apulia, southern Italy). The data were collected in two databases_ a damaging hydrogeological event database (1186 landslides and floods since 1918) and a climate database (from 1877; short-duration rainfall from 1921). A statistically significant decreasing trend of rainfall intensity and an increasing trend of temperature, landslides, and DHEs were observed. A generalised decreasing trend of short-duration rainfall was observed. If there is not an evident relationship between climate variability and the variability of DHE occurrences, the role of anthropogenic modifications (increasing use or misuse of flood- and landslide-prone areas) could be hypothesized to justify the increasing occurrences of floods and landslides.. This study identifies the advantages of a simplifying approach to reduce the intrinsic complexities of the spatial-temporal analysis of climate variability, permitting the simultaneous analysis of the modification of flood and landslide occurrences.

The main purpose of the research is to define management apporouches for a coastal karstic aquifer. The core of the tools uses numerical modelling, applied to groundwater resource of Salento (southern Italy) and criteria to reduce the quantitative and qualitative degradation risks. The computer codes selected for numerical groundwater modelling were MODFLOW and SEAWAT. The approach chosen was based on the concept of a equivalent homogeneous porous medium by which it is assumed that the real heterogeneous aquifer can be simulated as homogeneous porous media within cells or elements. The modelled aquifer portion extends for 2230 km2, and it was uniformly discretized into 97,200 cells, each one of 0.6 km2. Vertically, to allow a good lithological and hydrogeological discretization, the area was divided into 12 layers, from 214 to -350 m asl. Thickness and geometry of layers was defined on the basis of the aquifer conceptualisation based on the 3d knowledge of hydrogeological complexes. For the boundary conditions, inactive cells were used along the boundary with the rest of Murgia-Salento aquifer, as conceptual underground watershed due to the absence of flow. About the sea boundary was used CHD boundary cells (Constant Head Boundary). Additional boundary conditions were used for SEAWAT modelling, as initial concentration and constant concentration, in the latter case for cells shaping the coastline. A mean annual net rainfall (recharge) was calculated in each cell with a GIS elaboration, ranged from 68 to 343 mm, 173 mm an average. The recharge or infiltration was calculated using an infiltration coefficient (IC) (defined as infiltration/net rainfall ratio) for each hydrogeological complex, assuming values equal to 1 inside endorheic areas. The mean annual recharge was equal to 150 mm. The model was implemented using MODFLOW and SEAWAT codes in steady-state conditions to obtain a starting point for following transient scenarios, using piezometric data of thirties as in that period the discharge level was negligeable. The model was calibrated through the use of PEST (Non-Linear Parameter Estimation) code, a standard in the geo-environmental modelling. The calibration was realised using data of 17 selected wells. The results of calibration can be summarised considering these control parameters_ the correlation coefficient, equal to 0.92, the standard deviation, equal to 0.7, the mean square error, equal about to 0.65, and the absolute mean residue (RMS), equal to 12%. The result emphasize the intrusion phenomena of seawater into aquifer with a important reduction of the quality of water and shown the importance of define management policies of groundwater extraction.
