| Abstract | The complex siliciclastic aquifer system underneath the Baton Rouge area, Louisiana (USA), is fluvial in origin and is characterized by strongly binary heterogeneity of sand units and mudstones as pervious and impervious hydrofacies. The east–west trending Baton Rouge fault and Denham Springs-Scotlandville fault cut across East Baton Rouge Parish and play an important role in groundwater flow and aquifer salinization. This study reconstructs the Baton Rouge aquifer-fault system architecture for a Miocene-Pliocene depth interval that consists of the 1,200-foot sand to the 2,000-foot sand. The results show the spatial extent of sand units, their interconnections, and flow paths within each sand unit. The regional-scale formation dip, the sand unit offset on the faults, and the volumetric spatial extent of individual sand units are quantified. The study reveals the complexity of the Baton Rouge aquifer-fault system where the sand deposition is non-uniform, different sand units are interconnected, the sand unit displacement on the faults is significant, and the spatial distribution of flow pathways through the faults is sporadic. The identified locations of flow pathways through the Baton Rouge fault provide useful information on possible windows for saltwater intrusion from the south.Le système aquifère détritique siliceux complexe se trouvant sous Bâton Rouge, Louisiane (USA) a une origine alluviale et est caractérisé par deux hydro faciès hétérogènes, une unité de sable et une unité d’argilite. La faille Est-Ouest de Bâton Rouge, et la faille de Denham Springs- Scotlandville recoupent l’Est de la paroisse de Bâton Rouge et jouent un rôle important dans l’écoulement souterrain et la salinisation de l’aquifère. Cette étude reconstitue l’architecture du système aquifère faillé sur l’intervalle de temps Miocène-Pliocène représentant 1200 à 2000 pieds de sable. Les résultats montre l’extension spatiale des unités de sable, leurs interconnections, et chenaux d’écoulement à l’intérieur de chaque unité. Le pendage de la formation à l’échelle régionale, le rejet des failles de l’unité sableuse et l’extension volumétrique spatiale de chaque unité sableuse sont évalués. L’étude révèle la complexité du système aquifère faillé de Bâton Rouge où la disposition du sable n’est pas uniforme. Différentes unités de sable sont interconnectées, le rejet de l’unité de sable sur la faille est important, et la distribution des chenaux d’écoulement à travers la faille est discontinue. La localisation des chenaux d’écoulement identifiés à travers la faille de Bâton Rouge fournit une information utile sur les fenêtres d’intrusion possibles d’eau salée depuis le Sud.El sistema acuífero silicoclástico complejo por debajo del área de Baton Rouge, Louisiana (EEUU), es de origen fluvial y está caracterizado por una fuerte heterogeneidad binaria de las unidades de arenas y fangolitas como hidrofacies permeables e impermeables. El rumbo este–oeste de la falla de Baton Rouge y la falla Denham Springs -Scotlandville atraviesa a la East Baton Rouge Parish y juega un rol importante en el flujo de agua subterránea y la salinización del acuífero. Este estudio reconstruye la arquitectura del sistema acuífero fallado de Baton Rouge para un intervalo de profundidad Mioceno-Plioceno que comprende 1,200-pies de arena a 2,000-pies de arena. Los resultados muestran la extensión espacial de las unidades de arenas, sus interconexiones, y las trayectorias de flujo dentro de cada unidad de arena. Se cuantificaron la inclinación de la formación en la escala regional, las unidades de arena sobrepuestas a las fallas, y la extensión volumétrica espacial de las unidades individuales de arena. El estudio revela la complejidad del sistema acuífero fallado de Baton Rouge donde la depositación de arena es no uniforme, distintas unidades de arenas están interconectadas, el desplazamiento de las unidades de arena sobre las fallas es significativo, y la distribución espacial de las trayectorias de flujo a través de las fallas es esporádica. Las ubicaciones identificadas de las trayectorias de flujo a través de la falla de Baton Rouge proporcionan información útil sobre posibles ventanas para la intrusión de agua salada desde el sur.美国路易斯安那州Baton Rouge地区 之下的复杂硅质碎屑含水层系统是河流成因的,作为渗透的和非渗透的水相砂岩单元和泥岩具有强烈的二元不均匀性特征。东--西向的Baton Rouge断层和Denham Springs –Scotlandville断层穿过东Baton Rouge Parish,在地下水流和含水层盐化中发挥重要作用。本研究 重建了Baton Rouge 含水层-断层系统架构,中新世—上新世深度间隔由1200英尺到 2000英尺的沙组成。结果显示了每个沙单元之内的沙单元空间范围、相互连接及水流通道。区域尺度的地层下沉,沙单元偏移到断层 上,对各自沙单元的空间分布进行了量化。研究揭示了Baton Rouge含水层—断层系统的复杂性,在Baton Rouge含水层—断层系统中,沙沉积是非均一的,不同的沙单元相互连通,断层上的沙单元位移很小,通过断层的水流通道的空间分布是零星的。通过Baton Rouge断层确定的水流通道位置提供了来自南部的海水入侵的有用信息。O complexo sistema aquífero siliciclástico sobrejacente à área de Baton Rouge, no Louisiana (EUA), é de origem fluvial, e é caraterizado por fortes heterogeneidades binárias das unidades arenosas e de argilito que constituem respetivamente hidrofácies permeáveis e impermeáveis. A falha este–oeste de Baton Rouge e a falha de Denham Springs-Scotlandville, que intersetam a Paróquia de East Baton Rouge, têm um papel fundamental na circulação das águas subterrâneas e na salinização do aquífero. Este estudo reconstitui a arquitetura do sistema aquífero-falha de Baton Rouge para profundidades do Mio-Pliocénico que consistem no intervalo entre a areia à profundidade de 1,200-pés e a areia à profundidade de 2,000-pés. Para cada unidade de areia, os resultados mostram a sua extensão, as suas interconexões e os caminhos de escoamento. Quantificaram-se os declives das unidades regionais, a deslocação das camadas de areia pelas falhas e a volumetria e extensão de cada camada individual. O estudo revela o grau de complexidade do sistema aquífero-falha de Baton Rouge, onde a deposição de areia não é uniforme, onde há interconexões das diferentes camadas de areia, onde o deslocamento das camadas de areia nas falhas é importante e onde a distribuição espacial dos caminhos de escoamento através das falhas é casuístico. A identificação da localização dos caminhos de escoamento através da falha de Baton Rouge fornece informação útil sobre potenciais janelas para intrusão salina proveniente do sul. |
