Description

The study of coastal aquifers deserves special attention in research and management of underground water resources. In this work we study the increase of salinity in coastal aquifers of south east Sicily, from Syracuse to Donnalucata, an area subject to intense overexploitation. Results of analyses of water samples collected in 2002-2004 in wells, springs and submarine springs are presented. (author)
