Testing the waters in Italy: Identifying co-seismic groundwater changes

Gilberto Binda & colleagues examined data regarding earthquakes in the Appenines and the resulting hydrochemical changes in groundwater

Co-seismic groundwater changes can have profound implications for water quality. Many studies have investigated earthquake-induced hydrochemical changes; however, the underlying mechanisms remain disputed. Dr Gilberto Binda and colleagues have shown that in the aquifers of the Italian Apennines, changes in water chemistry, temperature, and flow rate can follow earthquakes, and are for the large part transient. However, many changes are […]
