An investigation was made of the hydrogeology and water supply in the area surrounding the nuclear center of Ispra, within a radius of 10 kilometers from the nuclear reactor Ispra-1. The aim of the inquiry was to make possible, by a better knowledge of the hydric vehicle, the prevention or reduction of the dangers represented by the radioactive contamination of ground and water, that could be caused by nuclear installations. It was demonstrated that in the area examined, the soil is in some parts loamy with low permeability and good capacity of ionic exchange, while in others it is sandy with a great permeability and small capacity of ionic exchange. The telluric water is abundant and latent, but more frequently it outcrops; there are also watery sills, which are real underground brooks. The numerous lakes of the area have impermeable walls, which prevent direct communications between geographic and telluric water, Stratum springs secure the greatest part of the hydric supply for the population. Geographic water is scarcely used for drinkable purposes. Therefore, while the danger deriving from radioactive contamination of geographic water is very low, the danger represented by the radioactive contamination of telluric water is not negligible.
