Abstract
Correct management of groundwater resources must be based on the knowledge of their geological-hydrogeological-geochemical framework. As an example from the real world of environmental security issues determined by anthropogenic activities we will consider the strong impact on the quality of the groundwater hosted into the shallow coastal aquifers of the plain of the rivers Cecina and Fine in Tuscany, Italy. This area was recently investigated through a multidisciplinary geological-hydrogeological-geochemical approach in the framework of the Significant Subterranean Water Bodies (SSWBs) Project funded by the Tuscany Region. This study presents the results obtained for the first three considered SSWBs, namely the 32CT010 SSWB – “Coastal acquifer between the Cecina river and San Vincenzo”, the 32CT030 SSWB – “Coastal acquifer between the Fine river and Cecina river” and 32CT050 SSWB – “Aquifer of the Cecina valley”.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
