Heterogeneity of natural systems governs the pathway of pollutant in the environment, mostly in groundwater resources.

Abstract
Heterogeneity of natural systems governs the pathway of pollutant in the environment, mostly in groundwater resources. A large number of hydrogeological research aims to parametrize and model these processes. The spatial variability of the hydrogeological properties of the rock can be define from geologic observation and local measurements. The Solofrana River Valley is a real natural laboratory to improve understanding of the behaviour and transfer of pollutants on larges scale, because of its geological and structural complexity combined with a strong industrial and agricultural activities. A multidisciplinary approach has been employed to delineate aquifer/aquitard unit and characterize scale-dependent heterogeneity using geological, hydrogeological and geochemical tecniques. The paper describes firstly the experience carried out in an area characterized by a high antropic impact. Besides, it reports about relevant geological and hydrogeological aspects of the Solofrana River Valley and presents some interesting aspects related to field operations and quantitative evaluation of pollution flow and transport.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
