Application of SINTACS method to the aquifers of Piana di Palermo, Siciliy,Italy

Piana di Palermo is characterized by the presence of two different aquifers: one shallow, constituted by calcarenites and the other deep in fractured carbonates. The calcarenitic aquifer presents a low potential compared to the carbonatic aquifer. The chemistry of the water in both aquifers reflects water-rock interaction, seawater intrusion, ionic exchange etc. The application of SINTACS method showed that about 80% of the study area can be classified as of high to very high vulnerability. Piana di Palermo es caracterizada por la presencia de dos acuíferos diferentes: uno somero constituido por calcarenitas y otro profundo en rocas carbonatadas fracturadas. El acuífero calcarenítico presen…

Hydrogeochemistry and Water Balance of the Lake “Biviere di Gela” in the Gela Area.

Prospezione geochimica sulle risorse idriche sotterranee e superficiali della Provincia di Palermo: costituenti inorganici maggiori, minori ed in traccia. Risultati preliminari.

Indagine idrogeochimica di un area intensamente coltivata della Sicilia sud-occidentale

A hydrogechemical and hydrogeological study was carried out in the plain of the Verdura River Ribera, Province of Agrigento) to define the water quality and a model of subterranean circulation. From a hydrogeological point of view, several complexes are present. The piezometric map permitted to understand the underground circulation mechanisms in the main aquifer and the inter-relationships with the surface one. The chemical water analyses showed that the waters belong to two mainly groups: chloride-sulfate earth alkaline and chloride-sulfate alkaline types. The two groups are not completely distinct, in fact some samples have chemical composition in between. The isotope compositions clearl…

Contamination of coastal aquifers from intense anthropic activity in southwestern Sicily, Italy.

Geological, hydrogeological and geochemical characterization of aquifers in coastal areas (Ragusa-Donnalucata Area, Sicily, Italy)

Carbonate groundwater systems hosted in coastal areas are of particular concern, for multi-fold reasons. First, in Sicily - as in many other islands – coastal areas are the most densely populated: this increase of anthropogenic pressure considerably raises the potential risks of groundwater contamination. This is even more dangerous considering the fact that groundwater is often the main source of potable water for coastal communities, especially since rivers and ponds near the shore are brackish. Secondly, coastal areas are the sites of potential interactions between the groundwater systems and seawater, the morphology and the location of this interface being a complex function, of groundw…

Carta della Vulnerabilità integrata degli acquiferi della "Piana di Palermo": note illustrative

In un'ottica di protezione e gestione delle risorse idriche sotterranee cone da DLGs 152/99 ed in conformità alle Linee Guida nazionali (ANPA 2001), viene qui illustrata l'applicazione del metodo SINTACS per la redazione della Carta di Vulnerabilità degli acquiferi soggiacenti l'intera area della "Piana di Palermo". Sono stati inoltre censiti e georeferenziati tutti i CDP (centri di pericolo) e FDP (fonti diffuse di pericolo), riduttori, preventori e soggetti a rischio presenti nell'area, ottenendo così una Carta di Vulnerabilità integrata. Viene, inoltre, descritto l'uso del GIS sia per l'acquisizione e l'elaborazione di singoli parametri, che per la restituzione cartografica finale.
