Using Artificial DNA As Tracer in a Bedrock River of the Middle Bussento Karst System (Cilento, Vallo Diano and Alburni European&Global Geopark, Southern Italy) Latest Trends in Engineering Mechanics, Structures, Engineering Geology Using Artificial DNA as tracer in a bedrock river of the Middle Bussento Karst System (Cilento, Vallo Diano and Alburni European&Global Geopark, southern Italy) VITTORIO BOVOLIN, ALBINA CUOMO, DOMENICO GUIDA Department of Civil Engineering University of Salerno Via Giovanni Paolo II ITALY [email protected] JAN WILLEM FOPPEN Institute of Water Education Unesco-IHE Delft THE NETHERLAND Abstract: The paper deals with strengths and shortcomings of the use of artificial DNA as tracer in environments as such the fast flowing water in bedrock and step-and-pool streams. The use of synthetic DNA as tracer has been tested in rivers and brooks, and in carbonate rocks, but no attempt has been made, so far, to use this technique in torrents and ground water. One of the main strength is the low environmental impact which makes its use very appealing in protected areas. Taking into account these considerations an artificial DNA test was carried out in a fast flowing reach of the Middle Bussento Karst System. The artificial DNA technique was performed together with a traditional salt injection test. Results obtained from the experiment confirm the overall effectiveness of the use of artificial DNA in fast flowing environment, particularly excellent is the DNA mass conservation compared to the salt test. The main shortcoming of the artificial DNA test resides in the elaborate sampling procedure which requires the approximate knowledge of the transit time of the water into the system.

European and European & Global Geopark Network, under the auspices of the UNESCO, has fostered further research agreements focused on 2 Hydro-geomorphological setting water research with international organizations [9]. One of the aim of these collaborations is to develop The Bussento river basin, located in the Campania new monitoring techniques that may overcome Region, is one of the more complex drainage river limitations of traditional ones and allow monitoring systems in Italy (Fig. 1). activities in sensitive environments [5]. In the National Park, the Bussento river basin has been identified as an appropriate playground for testing new techniques. Monitoring activity in this area is a challenging task both for the complexity of the system and for the strict regulation which set tight constrains to the use of traditional monitoring techniques. Tracer testing is an efficient and useful method to characterize hydrological processes both in surface and subsurface waters [10]. The use of synthetic DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) as tracer is a relatively new technique [4], whose use can be performed with a, theoretically, unlimited number of tracers. Tracer testing with synthetic DNA experiments has been tested in rivers and brooks, [5] e [6], and in calcareous rock [2]. So far no attempt has been Fig. 1: Location of the Bussento river basin in the Cilento, Vallo made to use such technique in torrents and ground Diano and Alburni National Park – European and Global water included in protected areas.

This landforms and processes as such as: karst highlands would be particularly useful in cases, as such the with dolines and poljes, lowlands with blind valleys, Bussento karst-influenced river, where it is known streams disappearing into sinks, cave systems, karst- that many stream sinks converge in the same outlet induced groundwater aquifers with resurgences.

The experiment was conceived according to a two- step procedure: in the first step a known, little amount of salt was injected at the upstream section of the test site (Fig. 3), then the hydro-chemograph behavior of the flowing water at the downstream section was monitored. This step was aimed to detect the salt transit times in to the system so to provide useful information for the implementation of the second step which involved the injection of the artificial DNA.

W: Campanian Apennine, Southern /ta/y In the Campanian Apennine many deep karst phenomena occur within the thick Cretaceous limestones formations. In this paper the morphology of the most important caves is described and interpreted in relation to the external geomorphological evolu- tion. Particulary prominence is given to differences in endokarst evolution between Picentini and Matese mountains and Albumo -Cervati mountains. In the Picentini -Matese mountains we recognized at least two karstificationphases: the oldest is characterized by horizontal phreatic networks, often in a senility stage of evolution, which afe broken by neotectonics and unlevelled with present local base levels. It is important to stress that these caves can be generally correlated with relicts of mature erosional landscapes (Paleosurface Auct.) which were modelled during the Pliocene and the early lower Pleistocene (i.e. prior to the main uplift of the chain). The second karstification phase is characterized above all by active vertical caves, generally representing the revival of the first phase's cave.

Complex interactions and exchanges between surface and groundwater exist, influencing also onshore and off-shore submarine springs. Therefore, gaining river segments from karst groundwater and losing river segments towards the aquifer are recognized. Groundwater protection for drinking domestic use, riverine wild-life conservation and coastal water quality require a progressively optimized knowledge of these interactions. As a support for hydrological modelling tasks, various measurement campaigns have been made along the Bussento river for the acquisition of data about Radon concentration in the river and spring waters, using a radon monitor, Rad7 (Durridge Inc.) , equipped with a water probe and a Rad7H2O to measure radon activity concentration in water.

Its ionizing radiation provides the largest human internal exposure by inhalation and ingestion to natural sources, constituting a serious health hazard. The contribution to total exposure is mainly due to inhalation, as ingestion by food or drinking water is typically very small. However, because of public health concerns, the contributions from all these sources are limited by regulations and remedial action should be taken in the event that the defined threshold values are overcome. In this paper, the first campaign of measurements to control the radon activity concentration in drinking water from public water supplies in the province of Salerno, south Italy, is described.
