Abstract

In the surroundings of the locality of El Oso in the region of the Moraña (Ávila), there are many wetlands. The most important is El Hoyo lake. The Miocene and Quaternary sands constitute good aquifers with northward groundwater flow. In the vicinity of El Oso the groundwater table is very shallow and groundwater shows an ascendant vertical component. Groundwaters are fresh and have a bicarbonate-calcium-sodic composition. The natural regime of El Hoyo lake has been modified by the groundwater inputs from nearby boreholes. El Hoyo is a recharge lake during the winter, fed mainly by direct precipitation, but during the summer it can receive groundwater inputs.
