This paper deals with the relationship between the physical characteristics of the Rharb-Mamora basin (Northern Morocco) and the distribution of hydraulic conductivity values in the Plio-Quaternary aquifer. A steady state groundwater model has been calibrated using these values. The distribution of hydraulic conductivity corresponds to a hydrodynamic partition with permeabilities of 2×10^–3 to 5×10^–2 ms^–1 (in the coastal part). A numerical modeling process shows a relative error map between calculated and measured piezometric surfaces, in order to facilitate calibration in steady state.The distribution of hydraulic conductivity values, and the lateral variation of sequences (deduced from engineering geology methods e.g. hydrogeological drilling data, seismic reflection interpretation, and geostatistical analysis), are controlled by synsedimentary fault activity, which deepened the Mio-Pliocene basement resulting in a thickening of overlying permeable rocks.

Resumen Esta nota trata la relación existente entre las características físicas y la distribución de la conductividad hidráulica de los acuíferos subyacentes de la cuenca del Rharb-Mamora (norte de Marruecos). Para la simulación del flujo del agua subterránea se ha establecido un modelo en régimen permanente. La distribución de la conductividad hidráulica corresponde a un reparto hidrodinámico cuyo grado de permeabilidad es generalmente alto: desde 2×10^–3 hasta 5×10^–2 ms^–1 (zona costera). Con el objetivo de facilitar la calibración del modelo en régimen permanente, el proceso numérico realizado mostró errores relativos entre la piezometría calculada y medida. La distribución de los valores de permeabilidad y la variación lateral de las unidades permeables ha sido deducida a partir de métodos de geología aplicada (análisis de los sondeos hidrogeológicos, interpretación de los perfiles de sísmica de reflexión y aplicación de métodos geoestadísticos), y están controlados por la actividad de las fallas sinsedimentarias que influyen sobre la topografía del basamento mio-plioceno y el grosor de las unidades acuíferas.

Résumé Cette note traite la relation entre les caractéristiques physique du bassin Rharb-Mamora (Nord du Maroc) et la répartition de la conductivité hydraulique du réseau aquifère. Le modèle de simulation des écoulements souterrains a été établi en régime permanent. La distribution de la conductivité hydraulique correspond à un découpage hydrodynamique dont le degré de perméabilité est généralement bon entre 2×10^–3 to 5×10^–2 ms^–1 (zone côtière). Afin de faciliter le calage en régime permanent, le code numérique établi permet de mettre en évidence les erreurs relatives entre la piézométrie calculée et mesurée.La distribution des valeurs de perméabilité et la variation latérale des unités perméables, déduites des méthodes de la géologie appliquée (analyse des forages hydrogéologiques, interprétation des profils sismique réflexion et analyse géostatistique), sont contrôlées par lactivité des failles synsédimentaires qui influencent lapprofondissement du substratum hydrogéologique mio-pliocène et lépaississement des corps perméables.

Optimizing a piezometric network in the estimation of the groundwater budget: a case study from a crystalline-rock watershed in southern India   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

An estimate of the groundwater budget at the catchment scale is extremely important for the sustainable management of available water resources. Water resources are generally subjected to over-exploitation for agricultural and domestic purposes in agrarian economies like India. The double water-table fluctuation method is a reliable method for calculating the water budget in semi-arid crystalline rock areas. Extensive measurements of water levels from a dense network before and after the monsoon rainfall were made in a 53 km² watershed in southern India and various components of the water balance were then calculated. Later, water level data underwent geostatistical analyses to determine the priority and/or redundancy of each measurement point using a cross-validation method. An optimal network evolved from these analyses. The network was then used in re-calculation of the water-balance components. It was established that such an optimized network provides far fewer measurement points without considerably changing the conclusions regarding groundwater budget. This exercise is helpful in reducing the time and expenditure involved in exhaustive piezometric surveys and also in determining the water budget for large watersheds (watersheds greater than 50 km²).  相似文献   

The behavior of shape preferred orientations in metamorphic rocks: amphiboles and jadeites from the Monte Mucrone area (Sesia-Lanzo zone, Italian Western Alps)     

Benoit Ildefonse  Jean-Marc Lardeaux  Jean-Michel Caron 《Journal of Structural Geology》1990,12(8)

In the eclogitic micaschists of the Monte Mucrone area (Sesia-Lanzo zone, Italian Western Alps), we have measured in detail the eclogitic lineation at several outcrops. We present observations at the markers scale, this scale allowing the whole range of progressive deformations to be described. Populations of glaucophanes and jadeites show different statistical features which must be, at least for a part, produced by the distinct mechanical behavior for these markers during the alpine history. The glaucophanes show a positive correlation between the intensity of preferred orientation and their aspect ratio, due to a mainly rigid behavior. The observed differences in shape and orientation of jadeites also show different behavior, related to different retromorphic overprints. We briefly discuss the implications of these observations on the significance of metamorphic lineations.  相似文献

A novel method to infer historical DDT use on Cape Cod,Massachusetts (USA), based on ΣDDT degradation and <Superscript>210</Superscript>Pb dating in lake sediment cores

Glacier shrinkage and melting of snow patches caused by the current phase of warming is having a profound impact on lake ecosystems located in glacierized environments at high altitude and/or latitude because it alters the hydrology and the physico-chemistry of the river discharges and catchment runoff. These changes, in turn, have a major impact on the biota of these lakes. In this study, we combined geochemical and diatom analyses of a sediment core retrieved from Lake Kanas (N.W. China) to assess how climate change has affected this ecosystem over the past ~ 100 years. Our results show that the aquatic ecosystem of Lake Kanas was sensitive to changes in the regional climate over that period of time. The lake has been affected by change in hydrology (e.g. influx of glacier meltwater, variations in precipitation) and change in hydrodynamics (water column stability). The variations in abundance and composition of the diatom assemblages observed in the sedimentary record have been subtle and are complex to interpret. The principal changes in the diatom community were: (1) a rise in diatom accumulation rates starting in the AD 1970s that is coeval with changes observed in temperate lakes of the Northern Hemisphere and (2) an increase in species diversity and assemblage turnover and a faster rate-of-change since ~ AD 2000. The diatom community is expected to change further with the projected melting of the Kanas glacier throughout the twenty-first century.  相似文献

The hesitant emergence of maximum sustainable yield (MSY) in fisheries policies in Europe     

Benoit Mesnil 《Marine Policy》2012,36(2):473-480

The dismal record of fisheries management worldwide is often blamed on managers' and scientists' bigoted pursuit of the flawed Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) objective. This paper aims at clarifying that MSY has never been a key element in the EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), and has not been for several decades the basis of scientific advice provided in support of that policy. The recent emergence of MSY in debates about the CFP might be a rhetoric response to international pressure rather than a willing change in policy. The major danger of assigning the notorious failure of the CFP to a wrong culprit, MSY, is to distract research efforts away from investigating the real causes that likely lay in the institutional set-up. Many objections against the reference points associated with MSY, as targets or limits, are well-founded but controversies among experts, when left unbridled, just provide the opportune climate for politicians to delay actions in the direction of reduced fishing impacts on fish stocks and marine ecosystems.  相似文献   

Pre-1991 sulfur transfer between mafic injections and dacite magma in the Mt. Pinatubo reservoir     

Andrea Di Muro  John Pallister  Benoit Villemant  Chris Newhall  Michel Semet  Mylene Martinez  Clarisse Mariet 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》2008

Before the 1991–1992 activity, a large andesite lava dome belonging to the penultimate Pinatubo eruptive period (Buag ∼ 500 BP) formed the volcano summit. Buag porphyritic andesite contains abundant amphibole-bearing microgranular enclaves of basaltic–andesite composition. Buag enclaves have lower K₂O and incompatible trace element (LREE, U, Th) contents than mafic pulses injected in the Pinatubo reservoir during the 1991–1992 eruptive cycle. This study shows that Buag andesite formed by mingling of a hot, water-poor and reduced mafic magma with cold, hydrous and oxidized dacite. Depending on their size, enclaves experienced variable re-equilibration during mixing/mingling. Re-equilibration resulted in hydration, oxidation and transfer of mobile elements (LILE, Cu) from the dacite to the mafic melts and prompted massive amphibole crystallization. In Buag enclaves, S-bearing phases (sulfides, apatite) and melt inclusions in amphibole and plagioclase record the evolution of sulfur partition among melt, crystal and fluid phases during magma cooling and oxidation. At high temperature, sulfur is partitioned between andesitic melt and sulfides (Ni-pyrrhotite). Magma cooling, oxidation and hydration resulted in exsolution of a S–Cl–H₂O vapor phase at the S-solubility minimum near the sulfide–sulfate redox boundary. Primary magmatic sulfide (pyrrhotite) and xenocrystic sulfide grains (pyrite), recycled together with olivines and pyroxenes from old mafic intrusives, were replaced by Cu-rich phases (chalcopyrite, cubanite) and, partially, by Ba–Sr sulfate. Sulfides degassed and transformed into residual spongy magnetite in response to fS₂ drop during final magma ascent and decompression. Our research suggests that a complete evaluation of the sulfur budget at Pinatubo must take into account the en route S assimilation from the country rocks. Moreover, this study shows that the efficiency of sulfur transfer between mafic recharges and injected magmas is controlled by the extent and rate of mingling, hydrous flushing and melt oxidation. Vigorous mixing/mingling and transformation of the magmatic recharge into a spray of small enclaves is required in order to efficiently strip their primary S-content that otherwise remains locked in the sulfides. Hydrous flushing increases the magma oxidation state of the recharges and modifies their primary volatile concentrations that cannot be recovered by the study of late-formed mineral phases and melt inclusions. Conversely, S stored in both late-formed Cu-rich sulfides and interstitial rhyolitic melt represents the pre-eruptive sulfur budget immediately available for release from mafic enclaves during their decompression.  相似文献
