Università Roma Tre

1) Aquifer concept. Porous, fractured and karstic aquifers. Hydrogeological complexes and aquifer geometry: recharge area, aquiclude and aquitard; surface/groundwater interaction; seawater/groundwater interaction; multilayer aquifer
2) Regional hydrogeology: hydrostructures in Central Italy; Umbria- Marchean domain; Lathium – Aruzzo domain; volcanic domain; hydrogeological role of the faults.
3) Spring. Spring classification for the aquifer geometry and related abstraction rules. Discharge and depletion curves. Protection zones of the spring recharge area: rules of demarcation
4) Groundwater recharge: base flow, water budget, effective infiltration
5) Groundwater circulation: hydrodinamic principles. Bernoulli theorem, from Darcy law to Dupuit and Theis groundwater flow models
6) Signs of hydrogeochemistry and isotopic chemistry applied to hydrogeological concepts
7) Hydrogeological survey: pumping tests and hydrodynamic parameters determination; collection, elaboration and interpretation of hydrogeological data (precipitation, air temperature, river/spring discharge), evapotranspiration estimation, recession curve analysis, piezometric surfaces reconstruction.
8) Hydrogeological maps at different scales
