Perforación de un pozo exploratorio en la microcuenca Churute parroquia Taura

Abstract

Groundwater movement is determined by hydrogeological factors, therefore, by logging controlled conditions, such as pumping and recharge operations of an exploratory well, it is possible to estimate the characteristic parameters of the aquifer under study; for this particular case, it is studied the characteristics of the area of greatest hydrogeological interest in the Piedemonte Andino Environmental Unit, specifically in the Alluvial Deposits formation, located in Miranda Girón II, Taura parish, Naranjal canton, Guayas province. Geological and geophysical aspects were investigated in the study área, determining the ideal point for the drilling of an exploratory well called MCH-01; from the pumping and recharge tests carried out in the aforementioned well, as well as in an observation well or piezometers called RM-01 and RM-02, located 87.75 and 57.36 meters away from the MCH-01 well, respectively; the parameters for the hydrogeological characterization of the aquifer are determined, as the transmissivity [T ( m2 day)] and storage coefficient [S (dimensionless)]. According to the studies and tests performed, the presence of an aquifer of medium and high productivity is concluded according to the transmissivity values, and semi-confined type by the values of the storage coefficient, achieving a production flow of up to 50 (l/s).
