| contents | Hydrogeology of a contaminated sole-source karst aquifer, Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico Oscar A. Escolero Julia Pacheco Birgit Steinich Luis E. Marín Ciencias de la Tierra Karst Yucatán contamination The City of Merida, in the State of Yucatán, obtains its drinking water primarily from three well fields located in the periphery ofthe city. In addition, there are water supply wells within the city. Water from the public water supply contains lead, cadmium, chromiumin excess of the Mexican Drinking Water Norm. The following organic contaminants have also been identified in the ground water in thesouthern portion of the city: TCA, PCE, TCE, and carbon tetrachloride (CTET). Mérida currently obtains about 65 % of its drinkingwater supply from the JAPAY-1 well field which draws water from the southeastern section of the city, where most of Meridas industrialactivity is concentrated. No information is available on the water quality from this well field, but it is likely to be also heavily contaminated.A ground water monitoring scheme is suggested. A hydrogeological reserve zone should be established to allow the inhabitants tohave a sustainable source of drinking water. 2000 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56839406 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.4 Vol.39 |
