Abstract
The sustainability of groundwater resources has been a central issue in the Upper Guadiana Basin Spain since two of its primary aquifer units were declared overexploited at the end of the 1990s Three hydrogeological aquifer units located to the north of the primary aquifers have rarely been studied because of their low economic value despite a large part of the wetlands of La Mancha Húmeda Biosphere Reserve overlying the Basin This report presents the foundations upon which conceptual and numerical models of the Upper Guadiana Basin are based An evaluation of the sustainability of the groundwater use in Upper Guadiana Basin has been also carried out The effect of five management options and a simplified climaticchange scenario have been considered for the three northern aquifers A decrease in the net recharge a change in river–aquifer interactions and the total abstraction volumes authorised have been identified as the main factors to address in management planning In addition the expected recovery in the primary Western Mancha aquifer is shown to have little correlation with the total volume abstracted from the three northern tributary aquifersLa pérennité des ressources en eau souterraine est une question centrale dans le Bassin Supérieur du Guadiana Espagne depuis que deux de ses principales unités aquifères ont été déclarées comme surexploitées à la fin des années 1990 Trois unités hydrogéologiques aquifères situées au Nord des aquifères principaux ont rarement été étudiées en raison de leur faible valeur économique en dépit du fait qu’une grande part des zones humides de la réserve de biosphère de La Mancha Húmeda recouvre ce bassin Cet article présente les fondements sur lesquels les modèles conceptuel et numérique du Bassin Supérieur du Guadiana sont basés Une évaluation de la pérennité de l’utilisation de l’eau souterraine du Bassin Supérieur du Guadiana a aussi été réalisée L’incidence de cinq options de gestion et d’un scénario simplifié de changement climatique a été considérée pour les trois aquifères du Nord Une diminution de la recharge nette un changement des interactions rivière aquifère et le total des prélèvements autorisés ont été identifiés comme les principaux facteurs à considérer en termes de planification de la gestion De plus on montre que la recharge estimée de l’aquifère principal de La Mancha Ouest est peu corrélée avec le volume total prélevé dans les trois aquifères tributaires du NordLa sostenibilidad de los recursos de agua subterránea ha sido un tema central en la Cuenca superior del Guadiana España puesto que dos de sus unidades primarias acuíferas fueron declaradas sobreexplotadas a fines de 1990 Tres unidades hidrogeológicas acuíferas situadas al norte de los acuíferos primarios han sido raramente estudiados debido a su bajo valor económico a pesar de que una gran parte de los humedales de la Reserva de la Biósfera de La Mancha Húmeda yacen por encima de la cuenca Este trabajo presenta los fundamentos sobre los cuales están basados los modelos conceptuales y numéricos de la cuenca superior del Guadiana También se llevó a cabo una evaluación de la sostenibilidad del uso del agua subterránea en la cuenca superior del Guadiana Se ha considerado el efecto de cinco opciones de manejo y un escenario simplificado de cambio climático para los tres acuíferos del norte Se han identificado como los principales factores para guiar la planificación del manejo la disminución en la recarga neta un cambio en las interacciones río – acuífero y el total de la extracción del volumen autorizado Además se muestra que la recuperación esperada en el acuífero primario de la Mancha occidental tiene poca correlación con el volumen total extraído de los tres acuíferos tributarios del norteA sustentabilidade dos recursos hídricos subterrâneos tem sido uma questão central na Bacia do Alto Guadiana Espanha uma vez que duas das suas principais unidades aquíferas foram declaradas sobreexploradas no final da década de 1990 Três unidades hidrogeológicas localizadas a norte dos principais aquíferos raramente têm sido alvo de estudos devido ao seu baixo valor económico apesar de grande parte das zonas húmidas da Reserva da Biosfera de La Mancha Húmeda cobrir a Bacia Este artigo apresenta os fundamentos nos quais se baseiam os modelos conceptuais e numéricos da Bacia do Alto Guadiana Também se efetuou uma avaliação da sustentabilidade do uso da água subterrânea na bacia Para os três aquíferos do norte foram considerados os impactos de cinco alternativas de gestão e um cenário simplificado de mudança climática Identificaramse os seguintes fatores principais a considerar no planeamento da gestão uma diminuição da recarga eficaz uma mudança nas interações rioaquífero e nos volumes totais de captação autorizados Além disso a recuperação prevista no aquífero principal da Mancha Ocidental mostrase pouco correlacionada com o volume total captado nos três aquíferos tributários no norteThe authors would like to thank the Confederación Hidrográfica del Guadiana for providing the means and the financial support to carry out this study The financial support provided by the Spanish Ministry of Education through the FPU Program Grant AP20092134 awarded to Laura Asensio is gratefully acknowledged
