Cover Story: Salento is a regional coastal karst aquifer with a complex geological, geomorphological, and hydrogeological structure. The increased frequency of meteorological droughts and rising temperatures may worsen groundwater’s qualitative and quantitative status. On complex aquifers under data scarcity, the analysis of climate indexes is a viable approach to describe groundwater behavior. The results of three different correlation factors between groundwater levels and climate indexes agree with describing this aquifer as a low-pass filter, with a notable inertial behavior in response to meteorological events. Similar methodologies are worthy of interest for those areas characterized by severe stress conditions because of long drought duration and excessive groundwater exploitations. View this paper
