description: This study was a scientific validation of some ancient methods used for purifying water and selecting springs based on the nature of the soil and rocks. A historical and scientific analysis of the territory was made, with the aim of trying to identify ancient methods which might be retrieved and used again in a modern way for a comprehensive interpretation of the environment we live in. The investigation was led near Parma in the north of Italy, in mountainous and hilly areas which rise from rocky outcrops consisting of fragments of the ancient oceanic crust composed of argillaceous complexes, ultrabasic rocks from the ophiolite succession as well as flyschoid sedimentary rocks containing arenaceous, carboniferous and marly elements.
description: Cette étude vise à vérifier, d'après les principes scientifiques, les méthodes anciennes utilisées pour la purification de l'eau et la sélection des sources basées sur la nature des sols et des roches. Ces travaux constituent une lecture historico-scientifique du territoire, afin de chercher à identifier les méthodes anciennes qui peuvent être récupérées, et de les actualiser dans l'environnement moderne mondial dans lequel nous vivons. L'enquête a été menée dans les stations de montagne et de collines de la région de Parme qui se dressent sur des affleurements de roches formées des fragments de la croûte océanique ancienne composée d'argiles complexes, de roches ultrabasiques de la succession ophiolitique  et de roches sédimentaires flyschoïdes arénacées, carbonatées et marneuses.
description: Questo studio si propone di verificare, in chiave scientifica, gli antichi metodi applicati per la depurazione delle acque e la scelta delle sorgenti, basati sulla natura del suolo e delle rocce. Lo scopo del lavoro è volto ad una lettura storico-scientifica del territorio per cercare di individuare i metodi antichi da recuperare e ri-proporli in chiave moderna per una lettura globale dell’ambiente in cui viviamo. L’indagine è stata svolta nelle località di montagna e di collina parmensi che sorgono sugli affioramenti di rocce costituite da frammenti dell’antica crosta oceanica, costituita da complessi argillosi, rocce ultrabasiche della successione ofiolitica e da rocce sedimentarie flyschoidi contenenti elementi arenacei, carbonatici e marnosi.
