Groundwater occurrence in semi-arid regions is variable space and time due to climate patterns, terrain features, aquifer properties. Thus, accurate delineation of Potential Zones (GWPZs) essential for sustainable water resources management these environments. The present research aims delineate assess GWPZs a basin San Luis Potosi (SLP), Mexico, through the integration Remote Sensing (RS), Geographic Information System (GIS), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Seven thematic layers (geology,...
Groundwater quality and availability are essential for human consumption social economic activities in arid semiarid regions. Many developing countries use wastewater irrigation, which has most cases led to groundwater pollution. The Mezquital Valley, a region central Mexico, is the largest agricultural irrigation world, it relied on from Mexico City over 100 years. Limited research been conducted impact of practices Valley. In this study, 31 drinking water wells were sampled. was determined...
Evaluaciones de vulnerabilidad acuífera pueden realizarse mediante métodos como DRASTIC y AVI. Los mapas generados normalmente no son validados o verificados con datos campo. Este trabajo propone alternativas validación para mapeos vulnerabilidad. El mapa del Valle Río Turbio, en el Estado Guanajuato, comprende un área 1300 km². fue comparado otro generado por método Se realizó también una comparación los parámetros DRASTIC. justifica modificación rango original la profundidad al nivel...
Rincon de Parangueo is a Quaternary maar that had perennial lake until the 1980s.The was gradually desiccated as consequence of drawdown in Salamanca-Valle Santiago regional aquifer and now functions playa-lake.In contrast with features observed other crater-lakes region (La Alberca, Cíntora, San Nicolás), which also dried up at same time, bottom Rincón crater displays clear evidence active deformation associated mass movement sediments towards depocenter inside crater.The most conspicuous...
Abstract. Groundwater chemistry and isotopic data from 40 production wells in the Atemajac Toluquilla valleys, located around Guadalajara metropolitan area, were determined to develop a conceptual model of groundwater flow processes mixing. Stable water isotopes (δ2H, δ18O) used trace hydrological tritium (3H) evaluate relative contribution modern samples. Multivariate analysis including cluster principal component elucidate distribution patterns constituents factors controlling chemistry....
Abstract. While semiarid forests frequently colonize rocky substrates, knowledge is scarce on how roots garner resources in these extreme habitats. The Sierra San Miguelito Volcanic Complex central Mexico exhibits shallow soils and impermeable rhyolitic-rock outcrops, which impede water movement root placement beyond the soil matrix. However, rock fractures, exfoliated rocks pockets potentially permit downward percolation growth. With ground-penetrating radar (GPR) electrical resistivity...
Identifying contributing factors of potential recharge zones is essential for sustainable groundwater resources management in arid regions. In this study, a data matrix with 66 observations climatic, hydrogeological, morphological, and land use variables was analyzed. The dominant process were evaluated using K-means clustering, principal component analysis (PCA), geostatistical analysis. study highlights the importance multivariate methods coupled geospatial to identify main processes...
Saltwater intrusion is one of the most pressing environmental concerns in coastal areas with increased water demands. Water extraction decreases level fresh groundwater, reducing pressure and allowing saltwater to flow further inland. Tools for simulating, monitoring managing can provide valuable support decision-making management options. In this work, such a tool was developed arid aquifer La Paz Baja California, Mexico. A geomodel generated by using transient electromagnetic method...
In Soconusco, Chiapas, in spite of the high availability surface water, it is resorting to use groundwater. Knowledge about quality or groundwater used irrigate crops that region low. This paper aims contribute knowledge for agricultural through characterization spatial variability. Assuming a random distribution 45 samples which were collected situ determined: acidity and alkalinity (pH), electrical conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), cations anions trace elements; addition...
Abstract The quality of the groundwater supplying drinking water to Guadalajara metropolitan area has deteriorated due both endogenic and exogenic processes. Previous studies this complex neotectonic volcanic environment suggest that sources contamination here are underground fluids derived from an active center surface wastewater regional land‐use intensification. This study uses isotopic, gaseous, chemical signatures more comprehensively characterize flow its paths. Groundwater is mainly...
