The mineralised springs of the Marche and Abruzzi foredeep, central Italy: hydrochemical and tectonic features

摘要

Some analogies between the Marche and Abruzzi mineralised waters from the Adriatic foredeep are observed, especially when considering the water chemical facies and the structural setting of the discharge zones. Particularly the saline waters are in relation with the presence of compressive tectonic structures, while the sulphureous waters are connected with the Messinian evaporitic deposits, with the tectonics and with the hydrogeological characters of the Plio-Pleistocene sequence.
