Scientific reports on water resources
Emilia-Romagna territory can be divided in two majors landscapes, tha Apennines mountain chain in the south and the Po river alluvial plane in the north. This morphology reflects two main hydrogeological environments, one in the alluvial plain where the main acquifers are located and one in the Apennines.
