Resumo(s)
The chemical features of the ground water in the Lower Tagus Cenozoic deposits are strongly influenced by lithology, by the
velocity and direction of the water movement as well as by the localization of the recharge and discharge zones.
The mineralization varies between 80 and 900 mg/l. It is minimal in the recharge zones and in the Pliocene sand and maximum
in the Miocene carbonated and along the alluvial valley. Mineralization always reflects the time of permanence, the temperature and the pressure.
The natural process of water mineralization is disturbed in agricultural areas because the saline concentration of the infiltration
water exceeds that of the infiltrated rainwater.
In the discharge zones, the rise of the more mineralized, some times thermal deep waters related to tectonic accidents give rise to
anomalies in the distribution of the aquiferous system mineralization model.
The diversity of the hydrochemical facies of the ground water may be related to several factors whose identification is some times difficult.
