Abstract
Se realiza una descripción sintética de la hidrogeología de la masa de
agua subterránea (M.A.Sb.) de Lebrija (Sevilla-Cádiz), y en particular del sector
meridional de la misma donde se asienta la laguna de Los Tollos. El establecimiento
de una explotación minera de arcillas fibrosas en el entorno
de la laguna, así como las extracciones de aguas subterráneas para facilitar
las labores mineras y para el abastecimiento urbano y el uso agrícola, produjeron
impactos importantes sobre el funcionamiento hidrogeológico natural,
principalmente caídas en los niveles piezométricos y migración de
aguas salinas. La evolución hidrogeológica en el entorno de la laguna tras
el cese de las actividades impactantes, indica una recuperación general de
niveles en todos los subsistemas, y una tendencia a la igualación de los mismos.
Esta recuperación, aunque positiva, es aún insuficiente de cara a la restauración
ambiental que persigue el proyecto en que se enmarca este trabajo
A brief description of the hydrogeology of the GroundWater Body (GWB) of Lebrija (Cadiz-Seville) has been made, especially of its southern part, where Los Tollos shallow lake is located.An open pit mine of fibrous clays in the vicinity of the lake, as well as groundwater withdrawals to facilitate the mining and supply for urban and agricultural use, produced significant impacts on the natural hydrogeological functioning of the shallow lake. Such impacts where mainly a general lowering of the water table in the area and migration of saline water.The hydrogeological evolution of the area, after the ending of the environmental pressures, shows both a general recovery in all the aquifers of the GWB and a tendency for equilibrium. This recovery, although positive, is still not enough to achieve a complete environmental restoration of the lake,which is the main objective of the project in which this work is framed
