ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY OF CONTROLLED LANDFILLS IN RELATION TO THE VULNERABILITY OF THE AQUIFERS: A PROPOSED APPROACH

Abstract In the present article a methodology for the evaluation of the environmental compatibility of controlled landfills is suggested . On the basis of an analysis of the vulnerability of the aquifers, carried out through a Point Count System Model (PCSM), of which a brief and careful observation has been provided here, a classification of the territory has been obtained and afterwards crossed with a classification of the specific danger of various landfills according to certain featuring parameters . The final result is a map of the potential locations and hydrogeological limitation. As an example this methodology has been applied to an area of the Basilicata (Southern Italy).
