| contents | Pumping seawater from coastal aquifers for supplying desalination plants A. Pulido Bosch P. Pulido Leboeuf J. Gisbert Ciencias de la Tierra Well casing Development Desalination Drilling muds Coastal aquifers The lack of water in the coastal areas demands an onerous search for an appropriate solution. One solution isthat of water transfer from areas of surplus, but this is itself problematical. Technological developments haveintroduced the possibility of utilizing desalinated seawater as a drinking water source at a competitive price.Abstraction from coastal aquifers that are connected to the sea appears to be the cheapest means of supply.However, pumping poses some problems due to the corrosiveness of seawater. These problems include the difficultiesof choosing suitable sites for the abstractions, drilling method, casing, filter pack, as well as the designof a monitoring system to assess aquifer behaviour as a result of the generally high exploitation rate. The 31boreholes that have been drilled in the Andarax Delta near the city of Almeria are cited as an example of a realapplication. 2004 artículo científico 1695-6133 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=50520202 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=505 Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal application/pdf Universitat de Barcelona Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal (España) Num.2 Vol.2 |
