Algunos aspectos de la evolución de nitratos en las aguas del acuífero de la Cubeta de Pulpí (Almería)

Abstract

From data of nitrate contents in groundwater obtained during September of 1989 to April of 1992 in fifteen wells of the Cubeta de Pulpi aquifer, its espacial and time-course evolution in the water is studied. The nitrates have a direct relationship with the agricultural and urban activities. The liquid and solid wastes from urban and cattle raising activities, and the fertilizers of the agriculture are the principal contamination sources
