ABSTRACT
A comprehensive study of the Capoterra alluvial plain (Southern Sardinia, Italy) has been carried out by the Engineering Geology and Applied Geophysics Section of the Department of Land Engineering at Cagliari University, within the frame of the international projects MEDALUS and AVICENNE 73, funded by the European Union. The purpose of the investigation was to gain a deeper insight into saltwater intrusion in the coastal aquifer system and to numerically simulate the phenomenon [Sciabica, 1994; Barrocu et al., 1997; Barrocu et al., 1998].
