The national park Aramello-Brent is with 620.5 km² the largest protected area in the Trentine or better said, in the west of the Trentine, comprising the mountainous group of the Adamelles and of Brent, separated by the valley Rendana and limited by the valleys Non, Sol and Giudicarie.

It is especially interesting due to the presence of more than 80 lakes (among them the enchanting Lago di Tovel, which takes a reddish colour throughout the summer blossoming of the algae species Dino-flagellate) fed by the glacier of Adamello which is one of the largest in the whole of Europe. The fauna is among the most diverse of the alpine arc with all mountainous species, including ibex and brown bear. The park is even more impressive because of the presence of forests and meadows, of numerous species of lichens, mosses and superior plants as well as thousands of insects, fishes, birds and animals whose existence plays a determining role for the biologic balance of the park itself and of the world.

One component characterising the park strongly is the landscape and surely water in all its forms: glaciers, sources, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, torrents. The recognition of this environmental particularity of the park, and especially the collaboration with the section for limnology and algology of the Tridentine museum has led to various studies of the interaction of aquatic environments with the environment and, in particular, of sources which have been subjected to studies already in the early nineties.
