Reconocimiento hidroquímico de zonas endorreicas del Karst evaporítico de Antequera (Málaga)

Abstract

Some small temporary and permanent lakes near Antequera (Malaga) have been monitored in order to identify their main hydrochemical features. They display a wide variety both in chemical facies and salinity. The origin of these wetlands is related to triassic evaporite karst: closed depressions induced by dissolution and collapse. The results show in general a close similarity between these waters and those of the most significative springs that drain this karst, with a overimposed effect of saline concentration due to evaporation
