Groundwater modelling in urban areas as a tool for local authority management: Barcelona case study(Spain).

摘要: Urbanization poses some threats to both the availability and quality of groundwater resources in large cities worldwide, with corresponding significant social, environmental economic implications. A good knowledge urban hydrology requires a detailed quantitative analysis water fluxes, but also resources. In any real case study one has face at least three aspects: (a) process identification, (b) aquifer characterization modelling, (c) management. This three-fold methodology been applied city Barcelona. The outcome is model which among other things may become management tool, as it allows definition, quantification potential risk aquifers, well structures, all implications for population. an important step towards convincing managers consider topics be taken into account planning.
