Title: | Saltwater intrusion in the southern catchment basin of the Venice Lagoon, Italy | Issue Date: | 13-Jun-2006 | Keywords: | Saltwater intrusion Coastal hydrogeology Venice Lagoon catchment ISES Network |
Subject Classification: | 03. Hydrosphere::03.02. Hydrology::03.02.99. General or miscellaneous | Abstract: | The investigated area is the catchment located south of the Venice Lagoon, where multidisciplinary studies (ISES Project, Co.Ri.La. 3.10 Project)1 provided evidence of a phreatic aquifer contamination due to saltwater intrusion from the sea and the lagoon. The ground elevation of the territory, generally below the mean sea level up to -4 m, enhances the process especially in those sectors where land subsidence, mainly due to peat soil oxidation in close connection with the agricultural practices, is responsible for a subsidence rate varying between 1.5 and 2 cm/yr (Gambolati et al., 2005). |
