Análisis experimental de un acuífero en laboratorio empleando el equipo de hidrología P6530

Abstract

This research is based on the laboratory practices of an aquifer according to the instructions of the manual of the hydrology device P6530, equipment of the teaching laboratory of hydraulics. The research, according to its objective, consisted of modifying the pumping conditions and limits of the instrument to obtain measurements of water movement and interpret the results through flow networks and compare them with real aquifers. The management of the equipment, the changing conditions and the taking of measures are detailed in the methodology chapter. Comparing the flow networks of the laboratory practices with the flow networks of the aquifers collected in the state of the art, it is demonstrated that through the physical model of an aquifer under the modifications of the pumping conditions and limits, we can represent adequately hydraulic phenomena in the same way that occurs in nature. The comparison is made between flow networks with the same confinement conditions: free aquifer, confined aquifer. In addition, the practice guide is presented as a product which is a valuable tool for academic training and understanding of surface and groundwater phenomena.
