Hydrogeology of the southern Middle Tiber Valley (Central Italy)

Abstract

The aim of this work is to contribute to the hydrogeological knowledge regarding the southern Middle Tiber Valley focusing on the continental and marine units that fill the Paglia-Tiber graben in the northern Latium Region (central Italy). An important hydrogeological survey was performed in the summer of 2008, and a considerable quantity of piezometric, physio-chemical and flow data were collected. Four geological cross sections were realized, and a hydrogeological map and a groundwater quality map of the area were produced to obtain a conceptual groundwater flow model.
