In the framework of WAter Re-BOrn Project a large pond in Mereto (upper Friuli plain) was chosen as artificial recharge test site. Several geophysical investigations (GPR, Electrical Resistivity Tomography and High Resolution Seismic) were carried out to study and to characterize the vadose zone of this large infiltration basin. These geophysical integrated methods supplied us many information to characterize the vadose zone and the unconfined aquifer in the study area. The geophysical information greatly reduces the hydrogeological knowledge gaps and was used to improve the three-dimensional Finite Element numerical model to predict the effect of the artificial recharge
