Abstract
In the Umbria region a large number of small groundwater resources are exploited to supply drinkable water to customers. More than 400 of the wells and springs managed by Umbra Acque S.p.A., one of the three Umbrian managers, draw less than 10 l/s and about 240 of them supply less than 1 l/s. The national and the regional regulations do not differentiate in the protection area delineation guidelines between large and small resources, although different degree of knowledge about the aquifer and economical budget for the operation can be expected. For those reasons, we propose here a procedure for the delineation of wellhead protection areas, based on simplified models and techniques, particularly suited for the Umbria region..I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
