[Truncated abstract] Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a technique that can be used to capture and store water in aquifers for later reuse. This method recycles water that would normally be lost or discarded to the environment. MAR has been observed to have the potential for improving the quality of recharged water through a combination of physical, chemical and biological processes. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in groundwater microbial population structure during MAR and the major influences that drive these population changes. Biogeochemical MAR studies have the potential to assist in the improved prediction of the removal of contaminants such as nutrients, pathogens and trace organics from the recharged water. Biological clogging during recharge also has the potential to overwhelm an aquifers ability to process wastewater thus reducing the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer. Therefore further research into the spatial and temporal biogeochemical processes that occur during MAR is required. The geochemical and microbial population dynamics of two contrasting MAR techniques were investigated at two different geographical locations (Perth, Western Australia and Adelaide, South Australia). These MAR sites contained aquifers of dissimilar properties that were recharged with wastewater that contrasted in water quality. The Perth MAR site received secondary treated effluent which continuously infiltrated the unsaturated zone into an unconfined aquifer aided by infiltration galleries. Reclaimed water was extracted from a well at distance from the infiltration gallery. ... Notably the background and recovered water was most dissimilar in microbial and chemical population structure to that described for the infiltration gallery and injection well. Microbial and chemical evidence suggested that the background and extraction well groundwater were unaffected by plume migration. These results suggested that extraction well groundwater was similar in quality to that of ambient groundwater. Significant geochemical and microbial changes of secondary treated effluent during infiltration and lateral movement through aquifer were implicated in addition to the forced hydraulic gradient created from extracting fives time the volume of infiltrating wastewater. This study demonstrated that microbial populations and the geochemical processes associated with MAR can be studied and compared. Multivariate statistical methodology greatly simplified a vast array of dynamic biogeochemical information that could be dissected for meaningful interpretation over distance and time. The study evaluated the major biogeochemical influences which resulted in microbial and geochemical changes where it was noted that microbial populations were more dynamic than geochemical variation over time. Additionally biogeochemical comparative analysis indicated that microbial populations could change in population structure before a shift in aquifer geochemistry was detected. It is anticipated that the results from this study will benefit further research into the biogeochemical processes involved in water quality changes (e.g. nutrient removal, pathogen decay and biodegradation of trace organics) as well as controlling biological clogging of MAR schemes.

La prima parte della ricerca considera il fenomeno del cosiddetto “femminismo cristiano”, sorto per iniziativa di alcune donne che agli inizi del Novecento fondarono a Milano la rivista “L’Azione muliebre”, seguita alcuni anni dopo da “Pensiero e azione”, quali luoghi di riflessione per ripensare alla donna e al suo nuovo ruolo nella società, in rapporto anche alle esperienze femminili, nazionali e internazionali. Gli studi prendono poi in considerazione il movimento femminile cattolico alla vigilia della prima guerra mondiale, con particolare attenzione verso quella parte che si schierò a favore dell’intervento dell’Italia in guerra. L’ultima parte del lavoro analizza il sorgere e il diffondersi in Italia della Gioventù femminile di Azione Cattolica di Armida Barelli, considerando il ruolo avuto dalla GF nei cambiamenti sociali e culturali del mondo femminile fino al secondo dopoguerra. / The first part of the research considers the phenomenon of so-called "femminismo cristiano", built on the initiative of some women in the early twentieth century in Milan who founded the magazine "L'Azione muliebre", followed some years later by "Pensiero e azione", which places of reflection to think back to the woman and her new role in society, in relation to the experiences of women, national and international. The studies take into consideration the Catholic women's movement on the eve of the First World War, with particular attention to the part in favor of the intervention into the war. The last part of the paper analyzes the growth and spread in Italy of the Gioventù femminile di Azione Cattolica of Armida Barelli, considering the role played by GF in the social and cultural changes of the female world until after World War II.
