The Southern Italy has been subject, during the past century, to a general rainfall decreasing more evident during the last years, specially in the southern part of Apulia region. A territorial analysis based on rainfall and temperature data from 27 rainfall gouge station for a period of 68 years (1928-96) has show the intensity of rainfall decreasing trend and aridity increasing all over Soutern Apulia. The analysis has show that rainfall decreasing has a strong influence on groundwater resources recharge. This situation imply a strong desertification risks for the studied area, specially in Taranto district, also for the risk of groundwater resources degradation.

Abstract
The Southern Italy has been subject, during the past century, to a general rainfall decreasing more evident during the last years, specially in the southern part of Apulia region.

The analysis has show that rainfall decreasing has a strong influence on groundwater resources recharge. This situation imply a strong desertification risks for the studied area, specially in Taranto district, also for the risk of groundwater resources degradation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
