New aqueduct well
Geological and hydrogeological study for the construction of a new water well in the municipality of Vicenza
- Municipality of Vicenza
- 2018
- VIACQUA (water management service serving 68 municipalities with more than 550,000 inhabitants)
- adequate well productivity (approx. 70 l/s) with full operation of the pumping station
- avoid vulnerable and restricted areas within the urban area
PIEZOMETER CAMPAIGN
- 197 points measured
- approx. 600 km2 involved
PUMPING TEST
- 2 days - 24h a day
- 4 wells pumping simultaneously
- 291 l/s maximum flow rate
- 8 continuously monitored points
- minimal interference with the network
FLOW MODEL
- 73.3 km3 involved
- FEFLOW
- 61.100 elements
RESULTS
Preliminary well design
for adequate well productivity
Definition of the wellhead protection area (WHPA)
for proactive monitoring of pumping wells
