摘要

For mining activities in mountain areas, water availability and dewatering are critical issues; therefore the understanding of the hydrogeological processes that govern the occurrence of water at such environments is fundamental. However mountain hydrology is not totally understood because there are many uncertainties about the role of groundwater in hydrological processes. In fact, most of the research that has been conducted on mountain hydrology has focused on snow and glacier processes, but less attention has been given to groundwater processes. This is understandable, because snowmelt drives the streamflow generation in most semi-arid zones. However, recent studies have demonstrated that mountain-front recharge and fractured rock systems play an important role on water stores and release and therefore groundwater contributions to the water balance are significant in most mountain areas. This article presents the results of two research projects that study groundwater systems in mountain watersheds. The first study is located in the semi-arid region of Coquimbo and focuses on geological controls on the existence of water wells along the region. The second study was located at the volcanic watershed of the Diguillin river in the Biobio region. The results of the aforementioned research has led us to understand that groundwater systems at mountain zones are highly complex; important aquifer systems are formed by fractured rocks, which are recharged by direct infiltration from precipitation and snowmelt. Boundaries of mountain fractured-rock groundwater systems are frequently different than those of the surface hydrological watershed and are responsible for non-linear behavior of streamflow in several rivers, like the Diguillin and Renegado rivers, producing a minimum flow condition that provides essential ecosystem services in those rivers during the critical dry season.
