Melignon well – Rhêmes S. George Municipality (Valle d’Aosta – Italy)

Groundwater well design

Within the framework of an improvement of the potable water network, the municipality of Rhêmes Saint George (AO), in 2013, has set the drilling of a new groundwater well.
The context is the one of a typical alpine valley bottom. The hydrogeological complexes crossed by the well are heterogeneous. The short-term and long-term pumping tests have us allowed the assessment of the sustainable water flows and of the aquifer dynamics, which were both used for a proper design of the final well.
