DESCRIPTION:The implementation of the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/CE
 ) and the Groundwater Framework Directive (2006/118/CE) aims to achieve a 
 good environmental status of water bodies\, both in chemical and quantitat
 ive terms\, in order to ensure their sustainable management. The member st
 ates of the European Union carry out the status assessment by setting up m
 onitoring networks and programmes.  According to the European Directives\,
  the Southern Apennines River Basin District Authority has identified the 
 enhancement and standardisation of wells and springs monitoring systems as
  one of the priority measures to be undertaken to update the Water Managem
 ent Plan.  Groundwater monitoring is of primary importance for the Mediter
 ranean region\, a critical area for climate change\, as decreasing effecti
 ve rainfall and the increasing frequency and severity of droughts have bee
 n observed over recent decades. A robust assessment of the climatic effect
 s on groundwater flow systems is necessary to evaluate the resilience of a
 quifers to climate change\, and only a comparison between historical and c
 ontemporary detailed monitoring programmes can achieve this goal.  The res
 ults of the most detailed hydrogeological monitoring of springs ever perfo
 rmed in Italy\, organized in the regional-based monographs Le Sorgenti Ita
 liane (conducted by the National Hydrographic Service between the 1920s an
 d 1960s)\, have been compared\, after a spring-by-spring matching\, with c
 ontemporary field surveys and tests of drinking water supply springs.  Pre
 liminary findings\, concerning the Calabria and Basilicata Regions\, revea
 l a non-homogeneous decline in groundwater discharge\, related to the lith
 ology of the aquifer and geographic location\, while some springs still ma
 intain a significant flow. This highlights the urgent need for the impleme
 ntation of discharge monitoring networks to support early warning systems 
 and drought mitigation strategies.
