ABSTRACT
Artificial recharge is a tool for aquifer management where water is stored in a suitable aquifer during surplus
times in order to recover it during times of need. Within the framework of the WARBO Project the application,
management and environmental impacts of artificial recharge are studied on the basis of test sites in the Friuli
- Venezia - Giulia and the Emilia - Romagna Region, Italy. Two recharge sites will be tested and prepared for
continuous operation and two more sites are going to be idealized and evaluated concerning their artificial
recharge suitability.
