Hidrogeoquímica del Acuífero Mercedes en el oeste de Uruguay

Abstract

[ES] La explotación de los recursos hídricos subterráneos en Uruguay se ha visto potenciada por la demanda de los sectores hortofrutícola y lechero, así como por la facilidad de realizar perforaciones más profundas a partir del decenio de los ochenta. Este trabajo evalúa las características hidrogeoquímicas del Acuífero Mercedes, uno de los más importantes en cuanto a extensión geográfica y recursos disponibles del Uruguay. El acuífero Mercedes se encuentra en el oeste de Uruguay. El relieve es ondulado con suaves pendientes hacia el Río Uruguay al Oeste. La altura sobre el nivel de mar está situada por debajo de los 100 m. El Sistema Acuífero Mercedes se desarrolla sobre la Formación Mercedes, Cretácico Superior, está integrada principalmente por litologías conglomerádicas y areniscas de gruesas a finas y, subordinadamente, por pelitas arcillosas. Presenta espesores máximos cercanos a los 100 m. Se muestrearon 32 pozos en áreas rurales. Las perforaciones muestreadas se usan para abastecimiento a la población rural, tanto para consumo humano como para las actividades agropecuarias. En el campo se determinaron temperatura, pH y conductividad específica. Las muestras se acidificaron (1% HNO3, v/v) para determinar los parámetros químicos mayoritarios y trazas mediante espectrometría de masas y de emisión óptica con fuentes de plasma acoplado por inducción (ICP-MS e ICP-OES): Na, K, Mg, Ca, SO42-, Cl-, Si, Al, As, B, Ba, Br, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Sb, Sr, Th, U, V y Zn. Se discuten los resultados en cuanto a la calidad del agua, tomando en consideración la legislación vigente para distintos usos del agua, así como desde el punto de vista hidrogeológico, respecto al origen y dispersión de iones mayoritarios y elementos trazas.

[EN] The use of groundwater resources in Uruguay experienced a fast increase by the growth on the agriculture and dairy farm demands as well as by the easiness to drilling more deep wells since the eighties. The Mercedes Aquifer is assessed in this work from a hydrogeochemical point of view. This aquifer is one of the most important in Uruguay attending to geographical extent and available water resources. The Mercedes Aquifer lies in the west of Uruguay. The relief is moderately undulated with low altimetry cotes (100 m). The Mercedes Aquifer is developed on the Mercedes Formation, Upper Cretaceous, which consists of thick yellowish-white, coarse conglomerates and coarse to fine sandstones and, secondarily, lenticular greenish mudstones. The maximum thickness is about 100 m. A total of 32 wells were sampled in rural areas. These wells supply groundwater for both human consumption and farming. Temperature, pH and specific conductivity were determined in the field. Samples were acidified (1% HNO3, v/v) before the analyses by inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES): Na, K, Mg, Ca, SO42-, Cl-, Si, Al, As, B, Ba, Br, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Sb, Sr, Th, U, V, and Zn. Results are discussed taking into account the water quality for different uses as well as from a hydrogeological point of view in relation to the origin and mobility of major ions and trace elements.
