Study of the River-Aquifer interactions in well P4 for a Drinkable Water Production
System (DWPS) at San Esteban, Los Andes Community
Requirement
ESVAL S.A. asked us for a survey to estimate the interaction produced due to pumping activities in well P4, which is one of the wells in the DWPS, with the nearby Aconcagua river.
Work Done
To accomplish this task a deep analysis to the pumping test was made along with the stratigraphy of the area, the calculation of the aquifer’s hydraulic parameters and the spatial relations between the well and the river.
Results
Based on the recommended methodology shown in the DGA’s Norms and Procedures Manual for the Managing of Water Resources, we determined the interference produced in the river due to the well pumping activity.
