Potencial Hidrogeológico Del Sinclinal Suesca-Teusacá (Sector Central) Como Fuente De Abastecimiento En El Municipio De Tocancipá, Cundinamarca (Colombia)

Abstract

The municipality of Tocancipá is located in the zone denominated as Sabana Centro of the upper basin of Bogotá river, it has become a spot of agricultural and industrial development in the region. The sustainability of this growth requires foreseeing the identification of new sources for the supply of water that guarantee the amount in the face of demand, in this sense, the underground water resource emerges as a viable alternative for this purpose. Geological, hydrological, hydraulic and hydrogeochemical studies support the proposed conceptual hydrogeological model, which concludes that the Suesca - Teusacá syncline offers favorable conditions for the storage of water in the Sabana, Cacho, Arenisca Sabana and Tierna, Arenisca Dura formations.
