A STUDY OF THE COASTAL AQUIFERS IN EMILIA-ROMAGNA REGION

The study sets out to determine the stratigraphic architecture of the coastal aquifers of Emilia-Romagna Region, in particular in the area of the Ferrara Province’s and defins the distribution and the physical buondaries of groundwater reservoirs (composed of sand bodies), the associated permeability barriers and the interface between fresh water and brackish water. The huge quantity of data available, together with teorical progress in the last few years in stratigraphical field that have permitted new possibilities of correlation and 3D reconstruction of sedimentary deposits. The genetic interpretation of the stratigraphic architecture of coastal aquifers should represent the basis of all specialist examinations, in particularly in monitoring and in the prevention of internal saline water intrusion.
