Abstract

Groundwater-surface water interactions are very complex and dependent on multiple factors. The mutual dependence of both water bodies create the need for treating them as a unique system. The Guadalfeo river is the main entrance of water to the Motril-Salobreña aquifer, and it relies on the anthropogenic activity and on the variable climate of the area. This study presents the detailed behavior of the river during an entire year, since November 2017 to October
2018. To that end, differential flow gaugings were made at 5 points of the river to finally analyze its effluent-influent behaviour by sections. Furthermore, the groundwater level measurements allowed to relate the gains or losses of the river flow with the aquifer behavior.
