Preliminary hydrochemical evaluation of a aquifer system of a coastal sector of the state Miranda - progress
Keywords:
Hydrochemical evaluation, aquifer system, climate change, sustainable developmentAbstract
Groundwater was considered a protected resource against pollution, however, it has been demonstrated that aquifers can be affected by anthropogenic activities and by processes caused by climate and global change. The protection of them is essential to achieve the sustainable development of society. Under this concern arises this research with the main objective of characterizing hydrogeochemically an aquifer system in a coastal area of Miranda State, to evaluate its possible salt contamination or from another source, and to generate scientific information for the management and the integral and sustainable management of that resource. This is a project under development, so this article presents the progress made to date, which includes results on workshops and working meetings with the organized communities of "Oso Cotiza" and "Santa Ana Valle Seco"; as well as awareness programs about the importance of this valuable resource.
