Groundwater Chemical Trends Analyses in the Piedmont Po Plain (NW Italy): Comparison with Groundwater Level Variations (2000–2020)

“…The physicochemical parameters are characterised by different sources that influence their values, and at the same time, several processes normally affect the physicochemical values of groundwater [1]. Previous studies have confirmed the relevant role of natural processes, such as climate change [2,3], geological features [4], microbiological features [5] and anthropogenic processes [6], in modifying groundwater quality. The impacts of climate change have been extensively addressed [7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…A number of documented global groundwater contaminant challenges related to the use of large quantities of agrochemical components have been reported for anthropogenic processes. The anthropogenic pressures influencing the groundwater chemistry are countless [6]. In particular, extensive irrigation represents a relevant recharge that can induce the dilution or concentration of NO 3 .…”

Recent Advances in Modern Hydrogeology: Promoting Harmony between Nature and Humanity

“…This knowledge equips us to tackle pressing environmental issues, such as water scarcity and pollution. Moreover, the findings obtained from hydrogeological research are indispensable for informed decision making across a multitude of domains, including urban planning, engineering construction, and agricultural production [10]. In this way, it not only concerns the safeguarding and sustainable development of the natural environment, but also directly impacts the economic prosperity and security of human society.…”

Book Review: Urban Groundwater

“…Urban Groundwater (Howard 2023) is a masterful and timely compilation that provides the base for needed future research on and management solutions to urban water and, specifically, groundwater issues. The author's 40‐plus years of global research experience and his long service as Co‐Director of the International Association of Hydrogeologists' Urban Groundwater Network make him the ideal author for this volume.…”
