Dualidad del agua superficial y subterránea en la restauración hidrológica de humedales

Abstract

Wetland conservation is a high priority since these ecosystems have disappeared at an accelerated rate. During the 20th century more than 50% were lost. These natural spaces, besides being a biodiversity reserve, are sinks of greenhouse gases, and therefore are one of the most effective tools in the fight against climate change. Frequently, water resources are reallocated to ensure the minimum environmental water requirements of the wetland. The water supplied should reproduce as much as possible the natural hydrogeological functioning. Groundwater and surface water flows to the Tablas de Daimiel wetland are analyzed, taking into account the representative hydrochemical facies of both the wetland and the water sources proposed for hydrological restoration.
