Observations of Net Infiltration and Fast Recharge in the Deep Karst Aquifer of the Salento Peninsula

Abstract

Observational estimates of the seasonal/yearly surface infiltration in the period 2003-2016 in Salento peninsula (Southern Italy) have been obtained from data time series of the CNR ISAC-Lecce micrometeorological base. The net infiltration has then been estimated and compared with piezometric levels measured in several wells of the deep karst aquifer during a governmental experimental campaign in the period 2009-2011. Within the complex characteristics of the groundwater circulation, the results suggest the possibility of a quite short-time component in the deep aquifer response to the recharge input. This quick response, together with the expected and observed growing hydroclimatic intensity, could increasingly affect the aquifer dynamics in the next future, with possible consequences on the local water management.
