Carta della vulnerabilità intrinseca del Bacino idrografico del Rio Corr'e Pruna (Sardegna Sud-Orientale)

The Map of the vulnerability is a tool of remarkable importance to determine the susceptibility of an unconfined aquifer to be polluted. The method that we have adopted for its determination is the SINTACS method, elaborated by M. Civita in 1997. The select area for the study is the basin of the Rio Corr’e Pruna situated in the eastern south sector of Sardinia that is center of an intense agricultural and pastoral activity. The basin of the Rio Corr’e Pruna had already been in past object of an hydrogeological and pedological study. The results of that search have been checked and adjourned before being used for the construction of the Map. The result of the research underlines that unconfined aquifer present in the territory is to a large extent predisposed to elevated risk of pollution.
