Evolución geoquímica de las aguas subterráneas en el borde meridional de la Sierra de Gádor (Almería)

Abstract

The study of the flow paths shows the different hydrogeochemical conditions of carbonate materials in the southern edge of Sierra de Gádor. The study and modelling have consisted on the comparison of the saturation indexes evolution along the supposed flow path and the calculation of the mass balance (dissolution-precipitation processes of different phases) among the different wells analysed. The combination between the calculations of the mass transfer and the groundwater flow time allows to establish the apparent velocity of dissolution with respect to several minerals (calcite, dolomite and gypsum)
