RT Journal Article T1 A method to estimate the artificial recharge capacity of the Crestatx aquifer (Majorca, Spain) A1 Martínez Santos, Pedro A1 Martínez Alfaro, Pedro Emilio A1 Murillo, J. M. AB This paper presents a method for the feasibility of an artificial recharge scheme in a limestone aquifer. A 3D digital groundwater flow model was developed and calibrated to gain a better understanding of the aquifer dynamics and to estimate its capacity for artificial recharge. Several scenarios, based on different pumping alternatives, were tested over a 30 year period. The results were then analysed by yearly input-output balances. Worst case scenario model output suggests that implementing the scheme might ensure a sustainable use of the aquifer in the future.
