DESCRIPTION:According to the aim of achieving the highest level of environm
 ental sustainability\, an open-loop geothermal system has been planned for
  thermal needs (warming and cooling) of a large public building that will 
 host a bibliotheque\, a theatre and many civil buildings for universitary 
 studies.\nThe system is located into the shallow (phreatic) aquifer hosted
  into alluvial Pleistocenic deposits drained by the river Po\; initially d
 esigned for a supply < 100 l/s\, it will be up-graded in order to cover th
 e whole needs of the thermal station of the complex of buildings called 
 “To-Expo”\, with a nominal discharge of 160 l/s.\nThe test-site is loc
 ated into a wider analysis area\, in which existings data sets concerning 
 stratigraphic and hydrogeological pattern have been collected and updated 
 also by groundwater levels measurements\, toward the end of an extraordina
 ry recession period (2022)\, fixing the minimum reference conditions of fl
 ow into the aquifer.\nThe project has been supported by an exaustive groun
 d survey that has been set up into the test-site area\, by geophysical inv
 estigations (ERT\, MASW\, HSVR profiles)\, direct sampling (boreholes\, pi
 ezometers) and hydraulic and laboratory testing.\nThe simulation numerical
  model (finite element model – FeFlow with supermesh grid) has been impl
 emented to reproduce the present-state but above all flow and heat transpo
 rt scenarios\, considering 4 extraction and 4 inflowing wells and a piezom
 etric control network too. The model covers a wider area discretized with 
 6 computations layers\, settled around and inside the open-loop system\, d
 etermining external and internal boundary conditions and sink/source terms
 \, both flow and thermal\, in transient conditions\, estimating the evolut
 ion of the thermal plume in exercise mode referred to a 20-years scenario.
 \nThe whole plant has been approved by the Local Authorities\, and the wel
 ls drilling program is currently ongoing.
