RT Journal Article T1 Influencia de los eventos de recarga en la hidrogeoquímica del acuífero del Ventós-Castellar (Alicante) T1 Influence of the recharge events in the hydrogeochemistry of the Ventós-Castellar aquifer (Alicante) A1 Andreu Rodes, José Miguel A1 García Sánchez, Ernesto A1 Carratalá, A. A1 Sanz, M. José A1 Pulido Bosch, Antonio A1 Bellot, Juan A1 Villacampa, L. AB The Ventós-Castellar aquifer is a small karstic system situated in Alicante province in the Southeast ofSpain. Nowdays this aquifer is exploted by just one well which water is carried to supply a small town. Inthe last years, this aquifer has been monitored for several parameters, including chemical composition, inorder to establish its hydrogeochemistry and also the influence of recharge events on it. Thehydrogeochemistry results have shown that calcium and bicarbonates are the main ions, but sulphatesand chlorides are high as well. Some rainfall events lead to significant recharge in the aquifer which makea dilution. Dilution is proportional to the entrances in the aquifer. The hydrogeochemical data could beuseful in defining of the infiltration rate, the water reseves, the hydrodinamic functioning and, basically,the conceptual model of this aquifer PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 2005 FD 2005 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8669 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8669 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 31 may 2026
