This study investigates the strategically significant Scirca spring, located at the foot of the Cucco Mountain karst massif in central Italy. The research aims to compare spring recharge estimates derived from traditional groundwater budget approaches with those obtained through the APLIS parametric method. Both methodologies were applied within a well-defined recharge area, delineated through comprehensive geo-structural and...

This work describes the geochemical and hydrogeological characteristics of Santa Cesarea Terme, an active sulfuric acid speleogenetic system located along the Adriatic coastline (Apulia, southern Italy). It represents a very peculiar site, where rising thermal and acidic waters mix with seawater creating undersaturated solutions with respect to CaCO 3 , able to dissolve and corrode limestone and create caves. The Santa Cesarea...
