Papers on today widespread subjects, such as groundwater remediation and ground source heat pumps, were already published back in 1984.</p> <p>Since June 2012 the former <strong>Acque Sotterranee</strong> is named <em><strong>Acque Sotterranee</strong> </em>- <strong><em>Italian Journal of Groundwater </em>(AS/IT JGW)</strong>, with a new editorial form, publishing peer-reviewed scientific and technical papers in English or Italian. The journal deals with the multiple aspects of groundwater resources, from drilling technologies to contamination, groundwater/surface water interaction, hydrogeochemistry, numerical modelling, etc. A special attention is devoted to the Italian regional and socio-economic context, as well as to the Mediterranean countries ad more in general to the EU area and its border countries. Its goal is to link together the academic world, professionals, authorities, private and public companies by presenting up to date scientific and technical papers. Notwithstanding, contributions of authors from other continents have a key role in the spread of common experiences.</p> <p>The published papers concern description of hydrogeological systems, water resource management, natural system dependence on groundwater, climate change, drilling and abstraction, contamination hydrogeology, groundwater remediation technologies, hydrogeophysics, agrohydrology, geothermal energy production, socio-economical dependence and anthropogenic impact on groundwater systems, groundwater monitoring, just to name a few.</p> <p>The online Journal is<em> Open Access</em> and it is published four times per year (March, June, September and December). Each number presents: 4/6 scientific papers or technical report in English and/or Italian ; technical and historical invited news column (legislation, hydrogeophisics, hydrogeochemistry, modeling, etc.); technical notes on drilling techniques and water wells. The journal accepts original papers (peer reviewed), technical reports (peer reviewed), technical notes (not peer reviewed). Submitted papers undergo a double blind review and the Editors in Chief guarantee a short-time response on the editorial decision (60 days) since the date of receipt. Publication of accepted contributions is free of charge.</p> <p>Acque Sotterranee - <em>Italian Journal of Groundwater</em> obtained the patronage of the National Association of Hydrogeology and Water Wells (<a href="http://www.anipapozzi.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ANIPA</a>), of the Italian Chapter of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (<a href="http://www.iahitaly.it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IAH-Italy</a>) and of the Geological Survey of Italy (<a href="http://www.isprambiente.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ISPRA</a>).</p> <p><iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1SMZrM44rr7rF0rNWwBu-V-ehRM0&amp;ehbc=2E312F" width="100%" height="480"></iframe></p> https://www.acquesotterranee.net/acque/article/view/795 [Water governance: future and sustainability - groundwater] 2024-06-23T14:40:33+00:00 Paolo Cerutti paolo.cerutti@ecotercpa.it Giovanni Pietro Beretta giovanni.beretta@unimi.it Nicola De Zorzi ndezorzi@sinergeo.it Rudy Rossetto rudy.rossetto@santannapisa.it <p>[Article in Italian]</p> <p><strong>Governo delle acque: futuro e sostenibilità - acque sotterranee</strong></p> 2024-06-27T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 the Author(s) https://www.acquesotterranee.net/acque/article/view/800 [Water Resources and Requalification - Governance, Programming, Planning] 2024-06-27T07:02:53+00:00 Paolo Cerutti paolo.cerutti@ecotercpa.it Endro Martini editors@acquesotterranee.com <p>[Article in Italian]</p> <p><strong>Risorse idriche e riqualificazione - Governance, Programmazione, Pianificazione</strong><br /><br /></p> 2024-06-27T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 the Author(s) https://www.acquesotterranee.net/acque/article/view/796 [4th European bi-annual conference on the Hydrogeology of Karst and Carbonate Reservoirs, Eurokarst2024] 2024-06-23T14:43:48+00:00 Francesco Fiorillo francesco.fiorillo@unisannio.it Mario Parise mario.parise@uniba.it Marco Petitta marco.petitta@uniroma1.it <p>[Article in Italian]</p> <p><strong>4° edizione della Conferenza EUROKARST: Conferenza Europea Biennale sull’idrogeologia degli acquiferi carsici e carbonatici, Eurokarst2024</strong></p> 2024-06-27T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 the Author(s) https://www.acquesotterranee.net/acque/article/view/798 [Shallow geothermal (low enthalpy) and regulation] 2024-06-26T06:55:48+00:00 Paolo Cerutti paolo.cerutti@ecotercpa.it <p>[Article in Italian]</p> <p><strong>Geotermia superficiale (bassa entalpia) e normativa</strong></p> 2024-06-27T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 the Author(s) https://www.acquesotterranee.net/acque/article/view/799 [Deep geothermal and energy: electricity, geothermal lithium, critical raw materials] 2024-06-26T06:57:19+00:00 Paolo Cerutti paolo.cerutti@ecotercpa.it Andrea Dini editors@acquesotterranee.com Emanuele Emani editors@acquesotterranee.com <p>[Article in Italian]</p> <p><strong>Geotermia profonda ed energia: elettricità, litio geotermico, materie prime critiche</strong></p> 2024-06-27T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 the Author(s) https://www.acquesotterranee.net/acque/article/view/801 ["Acque Sotterranee" and "Acque Sotterranee Scuola e Formazione" upcoming conferences] 2024-06-26T09:32:14+00:00 Bonizzella Brizzolari b.brizzolari@acquesotterranee.com <p>[Article in Italian]</p> <p><strong>I convegni di Acque Sotterranee e Acque Sotterranee Scuola e Formazione</strong></p> 2024-06-27T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 the Author(s) https://www.acquesotterranee.net/acque/article/view/797 [The stopover of Pope Pius VII in the River Elsa Valley (Tuscany)] 2024-06-23T22:18:38+00:00 Alessio Argentieri a.argentieri@cittametropolitanaroma.gov.it <p>[Article in Italian]</p> <p><strong>La sosta di Papa Pio VII in Valdelsa (Toscana)</strong></p> 2024-06-27T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 the Author(s) https://www.acquesotterranee.net/acque/article/view/750 Hydrogeological features of the Italian sources included within the European thermal-mineral water inventory developed after the H2020 GeoERA Hover project 2024-06-27T07:03:07+00:00 Barbara Dessì barbara.dessi@isprambiente.it Rossella Maria Gafà rossella.gafa@isprambiente.it Lucio Martarelli lucio.martarelli@isprambiente.it Gennaro Maria Monti gennaro.monti@isprambiente.it Angelantonio Silvi angelo.silvi@isprambiente.it <p>Italy is one of the richest countries in the world with regards to number and quality of thermal-mineral waters and has developed a widespread and extensive use of such resource (e.g. bathing, central heating, electric power production). Premised that, the Geological Survey of Italy (GSI) took part in a work package of the GeoERA Hover project (EU Horizon 2020 program under grant agreement N.731166) aimed at defining the interactions involving the geological asset and the hydrogeological processes with natural quality and contamination risk of groundwater and at building a geodatabase of thermal-mineral groundwater within an Information Platform at European level. The GSI activities also aimed at contributing to fill the lack of a comprehensive work dealing with a national scale hydrogeological picture of thermal-mineral waters in Italy. This paper shows the first results obtained with Hover Project on the definition of a general geologicalhydrogeological scenario of thermal-mineral occurrences at an Italian national scale (240 occurrences with cropping temperature &gt;20°C have been included in a database). Most of exploited thermal-mineral water resources are aligned along the Tyrrhenian-Apenninic margin and in the Italian islands, where the most relevant active or quiescent geothermal fields related to magma ascent processes occur. As concerns physicalchemical features, extreme situations of over-mineralized and very-high temperature waters are not uncommon throughout Italy and correspond to a cluster of important SPA and geothermal field sites. Some preliminary geochemical considerations agree with mutual interaction between hydrothermal fluids rich in SO4-Cl-Na-K, likely originated from (ultra)potassic/calcalkaline/alkaline magmas, and HCO3/CO3-Ca waters, originated from leaching of calcareous rocks by groundwater. A preliminary statistical analysis on geochemical and other features of the Italian thermal-mineral sources on a regional basis envisaged that they do not display fully homogeneous characteristics.</p> 2024-06-27T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 the Author(s)
