  abstract = {{F}resh water availability has recently become a serious concern in the {I}talian {A}pennines, as various activities rely on a predictable supply. {A}long the ridge between {S}cansano and {M}agliano in {T}oscana, in southern {T}uscany, the situation is further complicated by contamination of the nearby alluvial aquifers. {A}quifers locally consist of thin fractured reservoirs, generally within low-permeability formations, and it can be difficult to plan the exploitation of resources based on conventional techniques. {A}n integrated study based on geological data investigated the link between tectonics and groundwater circulation, to better define the hydrological model. {A}fter the regional identification of fault and fracture patterns, a major structure was investigated in detail to accurately map its spatial position and to understand the geometry and properties of the associated aquifer and assess its exploitation potential. {T}he subsurface around the fault zone was clearly imaged using ground probing radar, two-dimensional and three-dimensional resistivity tomography, and three-dimensional shallow seismic surveys. {T}he vertical and horizontal contacts between the different geological units of the {L}igurian and {T}uscan series were resolved with a high degree of spatial accuracy. {T}hree-dimensional high-resolution geophysical imaging proved to be a very effective means of characterising small-scale fractured reservoirs.},
