A Double Scale Methodology to Investigate Flow in Karst Fractured Media via Numerical Analysis: The Cassino Plain Case Study (Central Apennine, Italy)

<div>Flow diagram for the proposed methodology. Geomechanical analysis including the evaluation of orientation, spacing, and aperture (a) allows constructing discrete-fractured cubes (b) representing the average fracturing condition. Numerical models at 1 m scale (c) have been calibrated via pumping tests (d) estimating the hydraulic conductivity tensor at regional scale (e). The latter has been tested via numerical simulation at regional scale and compared with conceptual models from literature (f).</div>
