HYDROGEOLOGICAL STUDY IN THE SECTION COCU, ROMANIA
Abstract
The long-going petroleum exploitation in the Section Cocu determined the increase of chloride concentrations in groundwater. The aquifer system in this area comprises four aquifers, with different extensions, separated by semipervious units. The third and the fourth aquifer are more extended. The third aquifer is in direct relationship with potential pollution sources, such as oil wells and oil pipelines and it is drained by the River Cotmeana. Several monitoring wells were drilled for the purpose of this study, providing data concerning the lithology and the groundwater heads in the aquifer system. Vertical electric soundings were carried out in order to delineate the zones with different pollution degrees. A numerical flow model synthesizes the available data and provides useful information for establishing a program for monitoring the groundwater quality.
