Abstract Coastal aquifers are characterized by a mixing zone with freshwater–saltwater interactions, which have strong relationship hydrological forcings such as astronomical and storm tides, aquifer recharge pumping effects. These govern the hydraulic head, spatial distribution of groundwater salinity saline interface position. This work is an empirical evaluation through time-series analysis between head associated sea-level dynamics recharge. Groundwater pressure, temperature were...
The Ring of Cenotes (RC) extends along the edge Chicxulub crater, in limestone platform Yucatan Peninsula (YP), where groundwater shows two preferential flow paths toward coast near Celestun and Dzilam Bravo towns. objectives this study were to describe regional hydrogeochemical evolution RC, its association with dissolution/precipitation minerals present pathway ocean. These results obtained by: (a) characterizing hydrogeochemistry; (b) calculating calcite, dolomite, gypsum saturation...
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanization and population growth driven by global tourism in cities such as Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, are major stressors the Yucatan Peninsula aquifer. As this aquifer is main water source for all anthropic socio-economic activities region, management conservation actions must be carefully established. Being a coastal aquifer, saline intrusion addressed analyzed. However, there scarce previous works regard making it difficult to...
Springs are common features on the Yucatán coast. They can discharge either under sea (submarine) or inland in coastal lagoons and wetlands. Previous observations of a lagoon located northern Peninsula (La Carbonera) reported water intrusion spring that (lagoon tidal spring). The saltwater occurs when tide is at its lower level, which opposite to what has been for submarine springs Peninsula. In this study, hydrodynamics analyzed driving forces controlling seawater identified discussed. Time...
Karst aquifers show dissolution/precipitation processes of the minerals present in carbonate rocks. The Ring Cenotes (RC) extends along edge Chicxulub crater, limestone platform Yucatan Peninsula (YP), where groundwater shows preferential flow paths toward coast near Celestun and Dzilam Bravo towns. This study aimed to describe regional hydrogeochemical evolution RC, its association with path ocean. To achieve this aim, we: a) characterized groundwater's hydrogeochemistry; b) determined...
In this work, electrical resistivity tomography was carried out together with physical hydrogeology techniques to evaluate the karst aquifer in northwest region of Yucatán Peninsula a study area near western edge Ring Cenotes Chicxulub Crater. addition, based on systematic compilation open-access data water levels reported for peninsular aquifer, maps groundwater isolines and flows were generated using IDW interpolation, Empirical Bayesian Kriging, Flow Net method. From these results,...
Abstract Coastal zones are crucial ecosystems supporting significant biodiversity and pertinent socio-economic activities. However, anthropogenic development contributes to socio-environmental complexities, particularly public water supply threats caused by climate change. This research presents a case study on the north-western coast of Yucatan, Mexico, which models potential saltwater intrusion in groundwater for multiple projections sea level rise recharge change due its implications...
This work presents the results obtained from a hydrogeophysical evaluation carried out in northwest aquifer of Yucatán Peninsula. Physical hydrogeology techniques were used together with geophysical surveys to obtain 2D inverted resistivity and effective porosity sections aquifer, near western periphery Ring Cenotes. Likewise, based on systematic compilation open access data water levels reported for system, maps groundwater isolines regional flows generated. To former, two different...
<p>The Yucatan state, Mexico, encloses a large karstic aquifer, which is confined near the coast. There are places where this confinement fractured creating springs that discharge to wetlands or shallow lagoons, important because of freshwater ecosystems develop around them (locally known as Petenes), and they provide thermohaline equilibrium in these systems. Previous studies reported during spring low tide, becomes sink, reversing flow Peten channel connecting lagoon spring....
