  • Sea Water Intrusion in Coastal Carbonate Formations in Catalonia, Spain E
    SEA WATER INTRUSION IN COASTAL CARBONATE FORMATIONS IN CATALONIA, SPAIN E. Custodio, Dr. Ind. Eng. M. Pascual, Geologist X. Bosch, Geologist A. Bayo, Geologist International Course on Groundwater Hydrology, Universitat Polit~cnica de Catalunya and Eastern Pyrenees Authority. Barcelona. Spain. Abstract Extensive carbonate formations are found along the Southern coast of Catalonia, in NE Spain. High population density and elevated water demand in small coastal basins with permanently dry creeks has put a great pressure to get water from limestones. Most wells exploit brackish water or became salt water polluted soon. Preliminary surveys show the existence of a very permeable carbonate formation near the coast that changes into a low permeability aquifer where distance to the coast line increases. In some instances cation exchange appears and shows the advancing nature of the salt water front. Two main areas are discussed, the Vandellos massif in which some deep observation wells have been drilled and the Southern part of the Garraf massif, where salinity problems are acute, and show a wide variation with areal situation. In these sites a thin fresh water layer floats on saline water, the mixing zone presenting a thickness varying from one site to another. Carbonate minerals saturation indexes are discussed. Introduction Recent interest in research into the hydrochemical processes at work in mixing zones where fresh water and salt water come into contact in coastal aquifers has given rise to a series of publications by authors 147 all over the world: Hanshaw and Back (19791; Back et al.

Barcelona Received: 16-X-2008 – Accepted: 10-III-2009 – Translated version Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract The data from surface automatic weather stations show that in the area of the Llobregat delta (northeast of the Iberian Peninsula) we can observe greater precipitation than in nearby inland areas (Ordal, Collserola, Garraf), than on the other side of a massif located on the coast (Garraf) and than on the northern coast. This distribution of the precipitation could be explained by the formation of a nocturnal surface cold front in the Llobregat delta. In order to analyze in-depth the physical mechanisms that can influence the formation of this front (topography, sea and drainage winds), two rain episodes in the area were simulated with the MM5 mesoscale model, reproducing satisfactorily the physical mechanisms that favor the appearance of the front.

  • Restoration of the Controlled Landfill Site for Municipal Waste of La Vall D’En Joan, Garraf
    RESTORATION OF THE CONTROLLED LANDFILL SITE FOR MUNICIPAL WASTE OF LA VALL D’EN JOAN, GARRAF The Financial Instrument Committee approved a grant of 5 198 016 euros on 18 December 2003 for the Restoration of the Controlled Landfill Site for Municipal Waste of La Vall d’en Joan in Garraf, through the creation of three terraces forming the surface sealing of the controlled landfill. The project is a part of the overall waste management plan of Barcelona’s metropolitan area (PMGRM, see below). The plan focuses on reducing waste amounts and exploiting the waste resources through selective collection at source, recycling, salvage and reuse. The landfill site is divided into 4 zones. The 1st and 2nd (around 20 ha) belong to the Municipality of Gavà and the 3rd and 4th (around 47 ha) to the Begues Municipality. The funding from the Financial Instrument concerns zone 2. The Project Promoter is the Entidad Metropolitana de Servicios Hidráulicos y Tratamimento de Residuos or EMSHTR (Metropolitan Hydraulic Services and Waste Treatment Authority). It is the public organisation with competence for the landfill and has been responsible for its management since 1 January 2001. EMSHTR is a local supra-municipal entity created by the Catalonian Parliament as a local sector administration to supply drinking water, clean and treat municipal waste in the metropolitan area of Barcelona (33 towns, 585 km2 and some 3 000 000 inhabitants). Link to English website of the Project Promoter, also called Metropolitan Environmental Authority (EMMA): http://www.ema-amb.com/en/index.html Project Location: the controlled landfill site for municipal/domestic waste La Vall d’en Joan is located 35 km south of Barcelona in the mountain area of Garraf by the seacoast.

    Analysis of the potential of forestry biomass production in the Massif of Garraf and the community participation Type of study: Case Study Authors: Konstantinos Chatziioannou - [email protected] Sergio Fernández - [email protected] Bibiana Monsivais - [email protected] Pierre-Jean Rigole - [email protected] Date of Submission: May 28th - 2013 Abstract Biomass has been exploited by humanity since people burned woods in order to start a fire and get warm. Today, biomass is considered a renewable energy source with vast potential that could not only help towards climate change mitigation, but also boost economic and social growth as a new emerging industrial sector. This paper investigates the current situation and the potential of the forest Garraf southern of Barcelona, and tries to identify problems and suggest potential solutions. Governmental policies and measures are evalauted and as well as possible actions from different stakeholders. It also presents a brief historical evolution of biomass as an energy source in Sweden, a country in which biomass exploitation has been profound over the past three decades and could be used as a paradigm.
