This study examines and compares trends in the relation between groundwater exploitation, land use and water quality in multiple-use areas adjacent to two cities: one in a developed country (province of Naples - southern Italy), and the other in a developing country (Mar del Plata, Pampean plain – southeast of Buenos Aires province, Argentina). In both cities and in their nearby periurban areas, continuing urbanization causes many social, economic and environmental changes, which have a considerable impact on groundwater resources, and considerable nitrate pollution. Social and natural geoindicators were analysed and compared in both areas to assess the nitrate risk contamination.

Abstract
This study examines and compares trends in the relation between groundwater exploitation, land use and water quality in multiple-use areas adjacent to two cities: one in a developed country (province of Naples - southern Italy), and the other in a developing country (Mar del Plata, Pampean plain – southeast of Buenos Aires province, Argentina). In both cities and in their nearby periurban areas, continuing urbanization causes many social, economic and environmental changes, which have a considerable impact on groundwater resources, and considerable nitrate pollution. Social and natural geoindicators were analysed and compared in both areas to assess the nitrate risk contamination.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
