Abstract

Summary

This study presents the results of a saline tracer test conducted on an unconfined alluvial aquifer placed in the Alento River Valley (Campania region, South-Western Italy) and monitored by Mise-à-la-Masse measurements. The aim of this test is the investigation of groundwater flow field by a time-lapse analysis. The work first introduces the local hydrogeology of the investigated system and the experimental set-up. The results of the geophysical tracer test are then described and followed by the discussion of several simulations conducted on a 3D electrical model of the system. Finally, the comparison between real and simulated datasets is discussed in order to highlight advantages and limitations of Mise-à-la Masse technique when applied for hydrogeological purposes.
