Università Roma Tre

The course will explain the geological processes at the origin of the water cycle, the springs and underground aquifers and provide specifications on the main criteria for classification of waters and mineral waters skills. Another objective will be to define the criteria of environmental sustainability of water resources and to allow a better understanding of the geological mechanisms responsible for the genesis of the main Italian mineral waters. They will then explain the relationship between geology and wine through the description of the geological and geomorphological aspects of the main Italian production areas, with particular regard to their environmental value. The exercises will be dedicated to learning of analytical methods. The course consists of educational tours dedicated to the visit of spring areas, industrial and wine production production.
