Evaluación de la recarga en los acuíferos de las formaciones Salto Chico, Hernandarias y Ubajay: Arroyo Palmar, Entre Ríos, Argentina

Abstract

El estudio de los mecanismos y volúmenes de recarga de los acuíferos es de vital importancia para una explotación sostenible del recurso subterráneo, tiene además una gran incidencia en la productividad agrícola, principal actividad económica en Argentina. Sin embargo, los estudios de recarga son tan escasos como necesarios en este país. Se ha realizado un detallado estudio edáfico e hidrogeológico en una cuenca hidrológica tipo en una zona agrícola característica de la región pampeana. Se ha tomado un intenso registro climático, de humedad de suelo y cargas hidráulicas a partir de estaciones diseñadas para este fin. Se ha calculado la magnitud de la recarga vertical a partir de un balance de agua en la zona no saturada, demostrando que las condiciones geológicas de la cuenca son el principal factor que determina su valor, así, donde aflora la F. Ubajay la recarga neta calculada es del 1,41% de las precipitaciones totales, mientras que donde aflora la F. Hernandarias no llega al 0,04%, valores atípicos en la región pampeana argentina. Este escenario hace pensar que la recarga vertical no es un proceso dominante ni cuantitativamente importante, y se aleja mucho de los valores anteriormente propuestos que estimaban que la recarga en la región oscilaba entre un 7%y un 15% de las precipitaciones medias anuales. Las implicaciones desde el punto de vista de la gestión del agua de estos nuevos datos pueden ser muy notables y obligan a replantearse el modelo conceptual de funcionamiento de los acuíferos en esta región. = The study of recharge mechanisms and volumes in aquifers is one of the most important issues for achieving sustainable exploitation of the groundwater resource. This factor has an impact on agricultural productivity as irrigation increases the yields of many crops and agriculture is the main economic activity in Argentina. However, recharge studies are not common in the country and this is why this paper is a new contribution. We have carried out a detailed study of the soil and hydrogeology in a hydrological basin. This basin is in an agricultural area typical of the Pampean region. Detailed records of precipitation, soil moisture and hydraulic head have been collected from stations designed for this purpose. We have also analyzed the influence and magnitude of vertical recharge from a water balance in the unsaturated zone. The calculation of the net recharge has also been included in the saturated zone. We have shown that the geological conditions of the basin influence the aquifer recharge. In outcrop zone of F. Ubajay the infiltration of surpluses allows a vertical transit equivalent to 6.61% with net recharge values of 1.41% of precipitation. In the outcrop zone of F. Hernandarias the conditions do not favour the infiltration of water surpluses and only allow a transit equivalent to 0.89% with a net recharge of 0.04% of precipitation. This scenario suggests that vertical recharge is not a dominant or quantitatively important process, which is atypical in Argentina’s Pampean region. These values are far from those previously established which varied between 7% and 15% of the average annual rainfall. The implications for water management in the region are significant and make it necessary to rethink the conceptual model of the aquifers in the area.
