Reply to comment on "A stratigraphic and geophysical approach to studying the deep-circulating groundwater and thermal springs, and their recharge areas, in Cimini Mountains-Viterbo area, central Italy": Paper published in Hydrogeology Journal (2010) 18:1319-1341, by Ugo Chiocchini, Fabio Castaldi, Maurizio Barbieri, Valeria Eulilli

The hydrogeological setting of Cimini Mountains–Viterbo area has been described previously by Piscopo et al.(2006) using a very weak stratigraphic and structuraldescription consisting of only one hydrogeological crosssection (Fig. 9 of Piscopo et al.2006). Furthermore, the keyformation, Tolfa Flysch, characterized by low permeabilitythroughout its entire rock mass and capping the carbonateaquifer hosting thermal waters, is considered at places anaquiclude (as defined in Piscopo et al.2006) and at places anaquitard, although it is proved that it cannot transfersignificant amounts of water. Thus, the hydrogeologicalmodel of Piscopo et al. (2006) is to be considered unrealistic.
