| Abstract | The deepest cave in Apulia, an almost entirely karst
region in southeastern Italy, has recently been the object
of a project aimed at evaluating the quality and quantity
of the groundwater resources. The cave system, located in
one of the most remarkable karst landforms in the region
(Canale di Pirro polje), reaches the water table at a depth
of -264 m. Diving explorations brought the total depth of
the cave down to -324 m. This contribution illustrates the
preliminary activities carried out during the project, with
a particular focus on geology, morphology and structural
geology of the cave system and surrounding areas,
together with hydrogeological research and chemical
analyses of the groundwater. |
