Geochemistry of the hydrogeological reserve of Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico

Hydrochemical data are presented to describe the process that modifies the groundwater quality in northwest Yucatán. Solution of almost pure carbonate rocks, conservative mixing with seawater and ionic interchange in clayey limestone of middle Eocene are found. Groundwater flow is from the central z...

Se encontró que los procesos de disolución de rocas carbonatadas de gran pureza, la mezcla con agua salada y el intercambio iónico en calizas arcillosas están presentes en la zona en estudio. Las nuevas observaciones confirman los resultados de estudios previos sobre las medidas recomendadas para la conservación del agua subterránea en la zona. Se encontró agua salobre varios kilómetros tierra adentro, cuya presencia se debe a la intrusión de fondo de agua salada en pozos relativamente profundos o por la concentración del bombeo.Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
