Abstract
Los acuíferos volcánicos son los más importantes en Guatemala,
porque sobre ellos se asientan las principales ciudades, que tienen
mayor población y demandan agua principalmente para uso doméstico. Los resultados demuestran que las rocas volcánicas constituyen acuíferos con permeabilidad primaria y secundaria, además son
áreas de recarga hídrica importante, con una precipitación pluvial
que varía de 920 a 1,500 mm/año. Los depósitos piroclásticos de
pómez, constituyen acuíferos superficiales libres en ciudad Guatemala,
Antigua, Quetzaltenango y San Marcos. Las rocas fisuradas
forman acuíferos profundos y confinados en ciudad Guatemala,
Chimaltenango, Antigua, Sololá, Quetzaltenango, Totonicapán,
San Marcos, Cuilapa, Jalapa y Jutiapa.
The volcanic aquifers are the most important in Guatemala, because over those are the principal cities, that have the mayor population and demand water for domestic use mainly. The results show that the volcanic rocks constitute aquifers with primary and secondary permeability. Also, are important the hydric recharge areas, with pluvial precipitation in a range between 920 to 1,500 mm/ year. The pumice¿s pyroclastic deposits constitute superficial free aquifers in Guatemala City, Antigua, Quetzaltenango y San Marcos. The fissured rocks form deep aquifers and confined, located in Guatemala City, Chimaltenango, Antigua, Sololá, Quetzaltenango, Totonicapán, San Marcos, Cuilapa, Jalapa y Jutiapa.
