Abstract
An analysis is presented of the competition between topography and compactiondriven flow in a confined aquifer The aquifer crops out and is unconfined in an area with an elevated water table In the absence of compaction the elevated water table drives the flow toward areas with a lower water table and leakage occurs from the aquifer through an overlying aquitard Under these conditions recharge occurs in the outcrop area When sedimentation occurs above the aquifer away from the outcrop area compaction tends to reverse the flow direction in the aquifer causing expulsion of groundwater in the outcrop area The actual flow field arises from the competition between the two driving mechanisms An analytical expression for the combined flow field is derived in which the contribution from both mechanisms is apparent The expression is useful as a practical guideline for estimating whether or not compaction can be safely ignored in regional groundwaterflow studies of confined aquifersLa compétition entre lécoulement imposé par la topographie et celui imposé par la compaction dans un aquifère captif est analysée Laquifère est affleurant et est libre avec une surface de la nappe élevée En labsence de compaction la nappe élevée dirige lécoulement vers des zones où la nappe est basse il se produit alors une drainance au travers de limperméable susjacent Dans ces conditions la recharge seffectue dans la zone daffleurement Lorsquexistent des sédiments audessus de laquifère en séloignant des affleurements la compaction tend à inverser la direction découlement de laquifère provoquant ainsi une expulsion de leau souterraine vers la zone daffleurement Le champ réel des écoulements résulte de la compétition entre ces deux mécanismes dirigeant lécoulement Une expression analytique du champ découlement combiné dans laquelle les deux mécanismes interviennent à la fois est proposée Lexpression est utile en tant quindication pratique pour estimer si la compaction peut ou non être ignorée sans risque dans les études découlement régional des eaux souterraines en aquifère captifSe presenta un análisis sobre dos mecanismos que pueden llegar a rivalizar en gobernar el flujo en un acuífero confinado topografía y compactación Cuando el acuífero aflora se convierte en no confinado en un área con un nivel piezométrico elevado Si no se produce compactación estos niveles elevados gobiernan el flujo el agua fluye hacia zonas de niveles más bajos y se produce goteo desde el acuífero a través de un acuitardo suprayacente La recarga tiene lugar en la zona aflorante Cuando se produce sedimentación sobre el acuífero fuera de la zona de afloramiento la compactación tiende a invertir el flujo causando la salida de agua en la zona aflorante El flujo final es un combinación del producido por ambos mecanismos Se deriva una expresión analítica para el mecanismo combinado donde la contribución de cada término se hace aparente La expresión derivada es útil en estudios concretos de flujo regional en acuíferos confinados para estimar si el efecto de la compactación debe tenerse en cuenta o puede llegar a ignorarse
