Caposele spring and Pugliese aqueduct

Caposele spring:

elevation: 417 m a.s.l.

mean discharge 4 m3/sec

Caposele

Pugliese aqueduct:

total lenght: more than 400 km

main gravity-channel (244 km long) up to Villa Castelli

93 bridges and 105 tunnels

Pavoncelli tunnel, 15.3 km

Murge tunnel, 16 km


1868, Camillo Rosalba (engineer of thePublic Works Office)

1901, first studies and surveys in the area of Sanità springs (supported bya financing of the central state, one million lire).

1902, the consortium “Acquedotto Pugliese” (State and other localauthorities) was formed, with full powers on the construction and futuremanagement.

1906, begin the excavation of the tunnel crossing (Pavoncelli) andsubsequently those of the main channel up to Villa Castelli.

Recharge processes in the spring catchment (Cervialto massif)

Estimation of the long-term recharge (ratio between discharge volume and rainfall on the catchment)

The model have to distinguish the endorheic areas (closed morphologicalzones, where runoff cannot escape from the spring catchment) from therest of the catchment (open areas)

Then, a daily recharge model, calibrated on the previous annual scale estimation, allows to simulate the recharge and the runoff at daily scale

Daily scale model of the recharge

The model generally needs:

- the thickness of the soil which is undergoing evapotranspiration processes, H;

- the (volumetric) water content at field capacity, max;

- the minimum water content reached at the end of dry season (summer), min;

- the total and effective porosity of the soil.

Conclusions

• Caposele spring is a fundamental water resource in southern Italy

• two hydrogeological aspects enhance its usability: absence of peaks (as a typicalporous medium) and the regime almost opposite to that of precipitation

• drought reduces the discharge of following years as well, highlighting a memory effectof the aquifer

• the spring is drough-resistant, as the (exponential) recession coefficient decreaseswhen initial discharge(Q0) also decreases

• as the spring catchment is not interested by pumping (groundwater abstraction) and itsenvironment is almost unchanged during the last century, spring discharge is apowerful indicator of climate
