DESCRIPTION:Accurate knowledge of groundwater availability and its variatio
 ns is essential for sustainable groundwater management. Within this framew
 ork\, the water balance serves as a valuable tool for assessing water reso
 urce availability. Currently\, management authorities require more precise
  evaluations of groundwater resources to address the growing demand for fr
 eshwater.\nIn this study\, the water balance was determined for the main h
 ydrogeological structures in the Central Apennines (Italy). The calculated
  outflows were compared with spring discharge data sourced from existing l
 iterature. Inflow data were collected over a six-year period (2018–2023)
 \, accounting for both rainfall and snow contributions. Unlike many previo
 us studies that focused only on liquid inflows from rainfall\, this resear
 ch properly evaluated snowmelt contributions using data from a recent netw
 ork of snow gauges. These contributions were incorporated into total preci
 pitation estimates to achieve more accurate results.\nFor each hydrogeolog
 ical structure\, monthly inflow datasets from rain gauges were interpolate
 d using regression equations and subsequently applied to the water balance
  assessment. An initial comparison of water balances\, estimated with and 
 without snowmelt data\, revealed that excluding snow contributions can lea
 d to significant underestimations of infiltration rates. Moreover\, a comp
 arison between calculated outflows—including snowmelt—and measured spr
 ing discharges demonstrated strong agreement for each investigated hydroge
 ological structure.
