What flows beneath our feet? Rome's groundwater in the context of a changing climate
The water supply of the city of Rome comes mainly from springs located several kilometers from the city center, in Apennines or volcanic areas. However, significant water resources are stored underground in the largest municipality in Italy. These resources, the groundwater, are contained in real natural underground reservoirs, the aquifers, which in the Roman area can be of a volcanic and alluvial nature, in some cases even overlapping, which create a rather complex underground water circulation.

For years, Roma Capitale and ISPRA have been dedicated to the quantitative monitoring of this precious resource, through a research agreement. The objective of this day of studies is the presentation of the groundwater monitoring activity of Rome Capital, the related online database but also the presentation of the activities underway for the creation of the thematic Hydrogeological CARG Sheet n.374 "Rome" in scale 1:50.00. Technical contributions from studies that have recently been carried out by different authors regarding the groundwater of Rome will also be presented
