I have a gap of infiltration to recharge the aquifer but I have had no response even in static levels, so I look for a mechanism to help me determine if the aquifer will be impacted and when or how long those volumes by charging
Carmen, Please describe your project a little bit more. What's is static water level? What is the local geology? Are you using any flow meter to measure inflow into the recharge well? How long have you been doing this?
You could test this with a local model of the recharge pond if this is for your ASR site or with a regional model if looking at the entire valley. There are also borehole logging methods that could be performed to track the wetting front too but these need to be run synotically druing a recharge event so that you can see the movement and the perched layer arresting the movement.
I hope to be better understood; Thanks for your support, Pradeep; the static level is,the water table and the geology is composed of granular material such as sand a little intercalation of clay, I've been doing as periodic several days a week for the last year, if I have flow meters and probes to measure level
Thanks for your support, Randy, I'm trying to set the information in sufficiency to prove this with a local model, the problem is that one year of operation even with them not identify or measure fronts wet feed in different directions, I do not understand really what you mean by well logging methods that should be run druing an event synotically recharge so you can see the movement and stop the movement perched layer.
Carmen, Seems the aquifer is very transmissive, and whatever induced recharge you are doing, it is simply transmitted into the aquifer. Please try using some tracer technique, if it's possible, just to be sure if the recharge is actually taking place. Best,
Dear Carmen, I was checking my Researchgate files and found your query. It is nice to learn about your project and the response found to (artificial?) recharge. Perhaps you will have to measure (or consider) the hydraulic conductivity K(s) of your material is a response to its degree of saturation (s). If the material is not 100% saturated, the groundwater velocity will be extremely low., as the K(s) will be of several orders of magnitude smaller than when fully saturated (=K). If the static water level is very deep, it might take a very long time for water to reach it from the surface; also here, it would be advisable to have an idea of the groundwater flow direction direction in x,yz. That is, if your location is in a recharge area the flow will be basically downwards... Please, do get from Mexico City saludos,jjoel carrillor
