11 – 13 June 2025 – Flowpath 2025 Turin, Italy – National Meeting on Hydrogeology

Organised by the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH)

Poster Title: Flow and Reactive Transport Modeling of a Sandy Aquifer Subjected to Agriculture in Eastern Netherlands

Authors: Sadhasivam Sathish (UNIROMA1), Valeria Lorenzi, Anna Efstratiou, Ahmed Abdelrady, Romee van Dam, Joachim C. Rozemeijer, Marco Petitta

Presented by: Sadhasivam Sathish, Sapienza University of Rome (UNIROMA1)

Summary: This poster showcases research from Case Study 1 (CS1) of the NINFA project, focusing on numerical modeling of groundwater flow and reactive transport in an agricultural sandy aquifer in the Eastern Netherlands. The study aims to support improved groundwater quality management in vulnerable regions.

NINFA Partners Involved: UNIROMA1, Deltares, Wetsus

Poster Title: ‘Innovative Analysis of Rainfall-Driven Contaminant Patterns in Groundwater: A Path Toward Climate-Resilient Water Management”

https://ninfa-project.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/posterAquaConSoil_02.pdf

Contributors: L. Sofikitis (WINGS ICT Solutions, Greece), A. Abdelrady (Wetsus, Netherlands), R. Dam (Deltares, Netherlands), M. Drausnik (Deltares & Wageningen University, Netherlands), P. Demestichas (University of Piraeus, Greece / WINGS ICT Solutions, Greece

Summary: The study introduces a novel data-analytics framework that links rainfall dynamics with contaminant transport, offering actionable insights for climate-resilient groundwater management. Computer science continues to push boundaries and unlock new possibilities across diverse fields. It’s always exciting to see how interdisciplinary collaboration drives science forward.

23 – 26 June 2025

7th IWA International Conference on Ecotechnologies for Wastewater Treatment (ecoSTP 2025)

As part of NINFA’s dissemination activities, Guillermo Ortiz Seco from Leitat Technological Center, presented his research work at the ecoSTP 2025 conference.

The work presented was a decentralized treatment for urban runo6 with a train of technologies based on a Nature Based Solution (NBS) and an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) for the removal of PAHs and Microplastics.

Abstract Title: “Design of a modular green tile coupled to Fenton-like processes for decentralised urban runo6 treatment”

Contributors: G. Ortiz*, A. Gaudes*, F. Audino* and S. Sanchis*
