Abstract
The paper deals with the definition of a conceptual model for groundwater flow systems in Apennine watersheds mainly in siliciclastic turbidites. In general this lithology has been poorly studied and the scarcity of data has not allowed a «whole watershed» systematic study of this kind of fractured aquifer/aquitard. The boring of a series of tunnels and the related collection or new hydrogeological data for the High Speed/High Capacity railway which connects Florence with Bologna, has led to a renaissance in the topic. Four watersheds are taken into account. They are located within a large outcropping area of the Marnoso-Arenacea Formation across the main Apennine divide in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. The Marnoso-Arenacea is a Middle Miocenic turbiditic formation pertaining to the Umbro-Marchigiano-Romagnola succession and is formed by a more or less regular alternation of siliciclastic arena ceous and marly hemipelagic beds (RICCI LUCCHI, 1981).
