A partir de la interpretación de propiedades físicas medidas en el subsuelo por medio de diferentes técnicas geofísicas, podemos localizar y delimitar la distribución de los diferentes cuerpos de agua subterráneos, el espesor y distribución de los estratos, el tipo de roca, además de estructuras geológicas como diaclasas, fallas o pliegues. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de los datos adquiridos durante la aplicación de estudios de tomografía de resistividad eléctrica y sísmica de refracción, así como del levantamiento geológico de la zona de estudio, realizados en el municipio de Jalcomulco, estado de Veracruz. Después de la interpretación y constricción de los diferentes métodos, se llegó a la conclusión de que existe la presencia de un volumen de agua libre de contaminación a los 16 metros de profundidad. Además, se identifican al menos tres estratos con características geofísicas distintas, correspondientes a la capa de suelo reciente, depósitos fluviales y de lahares. Esta información puede ser de utilidad para futuros proyectos de excavación de pozos. Geophysical studies for the detection of groundwater in the municipality of Jalcomulco, Veracruz, Mexico Abstract From the interpretation of physical properties, measured in the subsoil by means of different geophysical techniques, we can locate and delimit the distribution of the different underground water bodies, the thickness and distribution of the strata, the type of rock, as well as structures geological features such as joints, faults or folds. This paper presents the results of the data acquired during the application of tomography studies of electrical resistivity and seismic refraction, as well as the geological survey of the study area, carried out in the municipality of Jalcomulco, state of Veracruz. After the interpretation and constraint of the different methods, it was concluded that there is the presence of a volume of water free of contamination at a depth of 16 meters. In addition, at least three strata with different geophysical characteristics are identified, corresponding to the recent soil layer, fluvial and lahar deposits. This information may be useful for future well drilling projects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
