title: Ecosystem of the Anticolana Valley.
abstract: The results of an integrated environmental study on the geological, hydrogeological and ecological features of the area of formation of the low mineral content water of Fiuggi are briefly presented. The research programme, that was started in 1996 and is now in its final phase, was aimed at the following: (a) identifying the geological-structural limits of the hydrogeological basin; (b) building a model of the deep water circulation that should include an analysis of the rainfall and of the water balance, and (c) determining the vulnerable characteristics of the aquifer in relation to the human impact and setting up a monitoring system to control the different environmental parameters.
