A wide geochemical survey has been carried out in the Piacenza province. Isotope geochemistry allowed the reconstruction of main hydrological processes of the area. Various kinds of pollution phenomena have been recognized. In particular 15N/14N evidenced that organic pollution phenomena are clustered in the Eastern and in the Western side of the Piacenza province. Inorganic derived nitrogen has been recognized responsible for pollution phenomena in central part of the surveyed area. An anthropic origin of nitrate pollution was also evidenced in the western side of the Piacenza province.
