Técnicas hidro geoquímicas en la representación de datos de agua de origen subterráneo. Caso de estudio: Pozos de aguas subterráneas de Catacocha-Paltas

Abstract

Abstract: Hydrogeochemical techniques were used for the representation of data on the chemical composition of groundwater that supplies the drinking water system of the city of Catacocha, the application of these techniques is important to know the existence of contaminants or foreign elements to its geological composition. In the development of this research there are different theoretical foundations such as: the possible sources of groundwater contamination, the hydrological reality of the city of Catacocha and its surroundings, the components that are part of the water quality in its chemical composition, among others. In the methodology, bibliographic research is used to collect relevant information from scientific journals and the Piper and Stiff methods are applied in the Diagrammes software. As results, it is obtained that the groundwater of the Catacocha wells are of magnesium and/or calcium bicarbonate origin. That is to say that during the flow that the water had before reaching the aquifer, it came in contact with bicarbonate rocks and that in the aquifer they were not stored for a long time, therefore they are magnesic or calcic.
