Abstract
The Isonzo-Soča High Plain is located in the eastern side of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, across the border between Italy and Slovenia. It holds a significant phreatic aquifer that represents an important natural wealth, in terms of quantity, quality and ease of supply. The aquifer is used for various activities such as drinking, household, industrial, agricultural and farming purposes. The increasing interest of the resident population for this important resource has given rise to “GEP” and “ASTIS” Projects, funded by the Programme for the cross-border cooperation Italy-Slovenia 2007-2013. As part of these projects, the present research focuses on the characterization of the phreatic aquifer of the Isonzo-Soča plain in order to evaluate its intrinsic vulnerability. Moreover it aims to safeguard the groundwater resource and support the environmental protection and management policies.
