Environmental issues and anthropic pressures in coastal aquifers. A case study in Southern Latium Region // Aspetti ambientali e pressioni antropiche negli acquiferi costieri: un caso di studio nel Lazio meridionale
Saline intrusion is one of the main problems in the drinking water quality management, especially for those coastal areas in which urbanization is seriously increasing. In fact, in some countries with an extensive coastline, such as Italy, the high drinking water demand can lead to an uncontrolled groundwater exploitation of coastal aquifers. During summer 2017, a severe drought event affected the entire Italian territory, including the study area located in the southern part of Latium Region.
