Investigaciones hidrogeológicas en el Cañón de la Huasteca como contribución al abastecimiento de agua potable de Monterrey, Nuevo León, NE-México

Abstract

Locatedsome 20 km southwest of Monterrey, the national park of Cañón de la Huasteca with its well galleries (Sistema Santa Catarina) represents the capital's major groundwater resource. Due to a lack of suitable maps for groundwater management, parts of the catchment area were mapped at a scale of 1: 10000. Results aré visualized in the first Hydrogeological Map of parts of Nuevo León, which clearly outlines productive and less productive areas and defines suitable locations for additional exploration boreholes
