| Abstract | A conceptual hydrogeological model of the Mio-Pleistocene deposits in the Almada region, located in the Cenozoic aquifer system of the Lower Tagus Basin (Portugal), has been developed. Though numerous studies have been conducted on its geological features, there have not been enough hydrogeological investigations to define the origin, flow path and the groundwater quality and to understand the coexistence of overlapped interacting aquifers. Therefore, a study is presented here on the occurrences and features of groundwater resources in the Almada region based on an inventory in the field (wells, springs and boreholes), physical and chemical analyses, geologic setting, and tectonic and geomorphologic observations. This aquifer system has long been a source of concern because of the high level of extraction over the last few decades, as well as the progressive degradation of the water quality. Available groundwater resources have been affected by intensive agricultural and industrial activity, as a consequence of incorrect or non-existent hydrogeological knowledge.Un modèle déterministe de l’aquifère mio-pliocènes de la région de Almada, bassin inférieur du Tagus, a été élaboré. Bien que de nombreuses études de ses caractéristiques géologiques aient été effectuées, les investigations hydrogéologiques ont été insuffisantes pour connaître l’origine de l’eau de la nappe, ses chenaux d’écoulement, sa qualité, et pour comprendre les interrelations entre aquifères superposés. C’est pourquoi la présente étude caractérise les nappes de la région de Almada, à partir d’un inventaire des points d’eau (puits, sources et forages), analyses physiques et chimiques, caractéristiques géologiques, tectoniques et géomorphologiques du terrain. Ce système aquifère a fini par être une source de préoccupations tant en raison du volume élevé des prélèvements au cours des récentes décades, que de la dégradation progressive de la qualité de l’eau. Les ressources en eau souterraine ont été affectées par des activités agricoles et industrielles intensives, conséquence de connaissances hydrogéologiques incorrectes ou inexistantes.Se ha desarrollado un modelo hidrogeológico conceptual de los depósitos Mio-Pleistocenos en la región de Almada, localizados en el sistema acuífero Cenozoico de la Cuenca inferior del Tajo (Portugal). Aunque numerosos estudios han sido realizados sobre sus características geológicas no han existido suficientes investigaciones hidrogeológicas para definir el origen, trayectorias de flujo y calidad del agua subterránea, y para entender la coexistencia de la interacción de acuíferos superpuestos. Por lo tanto, se presenta aquí un estudio sobre las ocurrencias y aspectos de los recursos subterráneos en la región de Almada basado en un inventario de campo (pozos, manantiales y perforaciones), análisis físicos y químicos, escenario geológico y observaciones geomorfológicas y tectónicas. Este sistema acuífero ha sido una fuente de preocupación debido al alto nivel de extracción durante las últimas décadas, así como también a la degradación progresiva de la calidad del agua. La disponibilidad de los recursos subterráneos ha sido afectada por las intensas actividades industrial y agrícola, como una consecuencia de un incorrecto o inexistente conocimiento hidrogeológico.Foi desenvolvido um modelo hidrogeológico conceptual para os depósitos Mio-Plistocénicos na região de Almada, situados no sistema aquífero Cenozóico da Bacia do Baixo Tejo (Portugal). Embora numerosos estudos tivessem sido desenvolvidos no âmbito geológico, não foi feita suficiente investigação para definir a origem, o percurso e a qualidade da água subterrânea, bem como para compreender a coexistência e a interacção de aquíferos. Por conseguinte, é aqui apresentado um estudo sobre as ocorrências e características dos recursos hídricos subterrâneos na região de Almada, baseado num inventário de campo (poços, nascentes e furos), em análises físico-químicas da água e em observações geológicas, tectónicas e geomorfológicas. Este sistema aquífero tem suscitado preocupação e apreensão, devido aos volumes extraídos nas últimas décadas e à degradação progressiva da qualidade da água. Processos de contaminação resultantes de agricultura intensiva e actividades industriais têm afectado os recursos hídricos em consequência de incorrecto ou inexistente conhecimento hidrogeológico. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
