Hydrogeological evaluation of Alhué countryside
Presentación
El presente estudio consistió en la evaluación del recurso hídrico subterráneo disponible en el acuífero que abastece a un terreno agrícola de 1.700 hectáreas correspondientes al fundo San Alfonso, además de evaluar la eficiencia de los actuales pozos de producción.
Methodology
The following working methodology was set:
- Gathering and analysis of geological, geomorphological, hydrogeological and hydrological information of the study area.
- Listing of surface water and groundwater rights.
- Hydrogeological field recognition, water levels and in situ physicochemical parameters measurement.
- Water balance and recharge estimation.
- Pumping tests analysis and hydraulic parameters calculation.
- Water resource availability estimation.
Results
This study allowed to evaluate groundwater well yields and characterize the aquifer, resulting in a technical report that describes and evaluates the hydrogeological system that supports groundwater resources in the area.
