Ricostruzione idrostratigrafica profonda delle successioni caratterizzanti i bacini sedimentari del Piemonte: possibili risvolti applicativi.

A working group of CNR-IGG and Earth Sciences Department of the University of Turin carried out a tridimensional model of the geologic structure and the geometry of deep aquifers contained in miocenic-holocenic successions buried under the Piemonte Plain (NW Italy). After a preliminary stratigraphic analysis of the sedimentary structure, hydrostratigraphic studies allowed to define the hydrogeologic set-up of investigated successions. In particular, the most important aquifers and aquitards have been identified and analyzed at regional scale, and the surface separating fresh and brackish-salt waters has been supposed. This results allowed to make preliminary hypothesis about the volume and the quantity of potentially exploitable deep aquifers permeated by fresh waters and about the possible use of deep successions permeated by brackish or salt waters.
