Conceptual Framework
Hydrogeological study to assess and ensure the water supply to the plant in response to the drop in groundwater level observed in previous years.
• Narrow and shallow aquifer
• Width ≈ 1 km | Max depth ≈ 20 m
• Reduced performance in Well 1
• Evaluation of the extraction potential of Well 2 (unexploited), without interfering with Well 1
Methodology
• Installation of groundwater level sensors
• Continuous monitoring
• Pumping and recovery test in Well 2:
▸ Initial flow: 25 m³/h → well exhaustion
▸ Optimal flow: 7 m³/h for 17 h 43 min
• Parallel monitoring of Well 1 → no interference detected
Results
• Well 2 viable for stable operation:
▸ 7 m³/h up to 20 h/day
▸ Water level stabilized at 10.84 m depth
▸ Full recovery after shutdown
