Cover Story: Univariate, bivariate statistical methods and fractal analysis were applied to assess piezometric level response to rainfall and river level fluctuations in the porous aquifer of the Pescara river alluvial valley (central Italy). The statistical–mathematical results were interpreted through fieldwork that identified distinct groundwater flowpaths within the aquifer and enabled the implementation of a conceptual model, improving the knowledge on water resources management tools.
