An integrated multidisciplinary approach will be adopted in order to carry out a broad characterisation of the groundwater in the Porto urban area and Serra da Estrela mountain region (Iberian Massif, Northern and Central Portugal). Such an approach will contribute to improve groundwater management and protection, under the sustainability framework. Research will include the following main tasks: a) presentatio...
The results of a preliminary hydrogeological study of the river Zêzere catchment upstream of Manteigas (Serra da Estrela Natural Park, Central Portugal) are presented. In this mountain region, different types of groundwater and surface water (used in several economic activities) occur. The methodology adopted in this study emphasizes the way how Geology, Geomorphology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, Soil Science and...
Understanding the role of geomorphology is essential to accurately assess hydrogeological systems and groundwater resources. Hard-rock watersheds provide a source of valuable water resources. They commonly exhibit complex geological bedrock and morphological features as well as distinctive gradients in rainfall and temperature. A comprehensive evaluation and integrated groundwater resources study has been carri...
O Norte e Centro do Maciço Antigo de Portugal são ocupados por rochas granitóides e metassedimentares onde estão instalados aquíferos descontínuos, utilizados no consumo humano, público e privado, e em actividades industriais e agrícolas. Ocorrem, também vários balneários termais, usando águas termominerais (temperaturas até 76 ºC) e oficinas de engarrafamento de águas minerais naturais e de nascente. Nalguns l...
