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. Key words: nocturnal land breeze, coastal fronts, precipitation rhythms 1 Introduction which becomes wider when reaching the delta area. Sec- ondly, it is due to the sudden rise of the Garraf massif, in the When two air masses with different temperatures, and westernmost area of the delta, and of Montju¨ıc Mountain to therefore different densities, converge on the surface, as it is the east, both limiting the Llobregat delta, and therefore lim- known, they do not mix, but the warmer and less dense mass iting the cold air that descends the valley during the night. -
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. -

Els Camins Ramaders Del Valles Oriental
Els camins ramaders del Valles Oriental Resum: L'any 1999, la Diputació de Barcelona ilfAssociaciÓdlAmics 49 Ponencies dels Camins Ramaders van signar un conveni de col~laboracióper Anuar~del realitzar un primer inventari dels camins ramaders de la regió Centre d'Estud~s de Granollers metropolitana (comarquesdelGarraf, /'Alt Penedes, el Baix Llobregat, 2002 el Barcelones, el Maresme, el Valles Occidental i el Valles Oriental). A partir de I'inventari, ambdues institucions es van comprometre a estudiar i avaluar les possibilitats de cada un dels camins com a connectors ecologies entre els diferents espais naturals integrats al projecte Anella Verda, impulsat per la Diputació de Barcelona. És a dir, detectar aquells camins ramaders que, a més de connectar els espais naturals entre si, puguin actuar com a eixos vertebradors de vies verdes que limitin i ordenin el creixement urbanistic a I'area metropolitana. Aquest estudi, que cal entendre com un treball de base, hauria de servir també per a I'establiment d'un pla director de camins ramaders a la regió metropolitana, que prioritziles actuacions de classificació, recuperació i manteniment dels camins ramaders atenent els seus usos prioritaris: pecuari, ecologic i10 ecoturistic. L'objectiu d'aquesta ponencia del Centre dlEstudis de Granollers és presentar els resultats de la recerca realitzada a la comarca del Valles Oriental. Es tracta, en essencia, de la xarxa basica de camins ramaders que creuaven la comarca de nord a sud, com a trams intermedis de les grans carrerades que anaven de la Marina fins al Pirineu. 1.

El aumento de la población, los cambios de hábitos y el incre- mento de las actividades industriales en las comarcas del entorno de Barcelona hacen crecer la demanda y exigen la máxima calidad de los recursos utilizados y una total garantía del servicio. 1 Es necesaria pues una gestión eficaz y profesionalizada para disponer de un abastecimiento de agua de calidad, con la aplicación de la tecnología mas avanzada. Tradicionalmente, y como ríos de cuencas hidrográficas independientes, el Ter y el Llobregat han sido considerados como dos sistemas aislados. No obstante, y desde el punto de vista del abastecimiento de agua, interrelacionarlos era de gran importancia. Con la constitución de Aigües Ter Llobregat, las dos fuentes básicas para el área de Barcelona, los ríos Ter y Llobregat, se integran bajo una gestión unitaria que permite modernizar, ampliar y explotar la red regional con criterios de máxima calidad y garantía de suministro. Más de cuatro millones de habitantes se benefician de este servicio que, evi- dentemente, incide de forma muy directa en el desarrollo urbanístico, industrial y económico del territorio. -
