Abstract

The proposal aims to bring together highly skilled research teams from São Paulo State University (UNESP) and Department of Earth Sciences (Sapienza University of Rome) to establish a collaborative partnership in the area of water resources. Rainwater, surface waters and groundwaters are linked compartments that take an important role in the whole water cycle, being relevant to understand their relationships adopting all available tools, such as the hydrogeochemical ones, which are potentially important to identify, for instance, mixing processes and pollution sources, among other relationships.
