Hydrogeological data support this interpretation since a hydraulic connection exists between the two areas occupied by marbles (Sierra Tejeda and Rodaderos sectors). Both areas has been previously considered as belonging to two different tectonic units not directly connected. In the Robledal unit, gneisses in the lower part of the lithologic sequence correlate with other units of the Guajares-Jubrique/Los Reales group (upper group of Alpujarride units). Extensional deformations are superposed over these tectonic units, but, according to field observations, they have not the enormous importance attributed to them in previous models, as they do not differentiate new tectonic units, at least in this area.

However, the water shortage resulting from many successive drought periods has led to a significant degradation of the various industrial, tourist and agricultural activities in this region. Groundwater exploitation can alleviate this situation, but it requires a better characterization of aquifers. In this context, the present study aims to provide precisions on the Bir M’Chergua hydrogeological scheme by determining the subsurface structures from gravimetric data interpretation. \u0000Residual anomaly, vertical derivative and total horizontal gradient maps are calculated from the Bouguer anomaly to identify and delimit the causative sources. The Euler deconvolution technique is also applied to estimate these sources depth. \u0000The structural map resulting from gravimetric interpretation highlights buried structures and discontinuities of different direction and depth that can greatly influence the Bir M’Chergua aquifer system geometry and functioning. In fact, the highlighting of tectonic features at more than 1500 m depth around the Jebel Oust dome explains the origin and the high salinity of the thermal waters in this sector; such tectonic accidents have favored a deep penetration of the recharge water as well as their contact with the Triassic terrains.","PeriodicalId":50496,"journal":{"name":"Estudios Geologicos-Madrid","volume":"139 1","pages":"075"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2018-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86567978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The δ13C reached less negative values near the monzogranite, caused by devolatilization; the graphite present just in contact with the pluton experienced retrograde recrystallization, which causes a shift towards more negative values. The calculated degree of graphitization intervals (GD = 53–80) corresponds to a well-structured mineral with ordered packaging. The peak metamorphic temperature at the contact was calculated from crystallographic (XRD) and spectroscopic (Raman) parameters with great agreement in both techniques, registering the 528 ± 16 and 526 ± 20 oC respectively. The metapelitic rocks reached the Cordierite Zone (cordierite + biotite + muscovite) in the contact aureole where the graphite is well ordered and in hexagonal microtexture.
