ABSTRACT. – Geological and hydrogeological considerations on the phreatic
aquifer of the Târnava Mică river flood plain and terraces. The project
„Enhancement of Water Resources Management in Mureş River Basin" target is the
development of an instruments set and of a methodology on a sustainable
management of surface and groundwater resources from the Mureş river basin.
Thus, there has been selected as a pilot area, the Târnava Mică river basin (as
sub-basin of the Mureş river basin), for which it was developed a mathematical
hydrological integrated model.The phreatic aquifer located in the flood plain
and terraces alluvial deposits of the Târnava Mică river basin represents a
source for the localities water supplies (fountains) and for the economic agents
(wells) from the area. Because of this reason, the groundwater from this aquifer
is an important element in the balance of water, and also for the integrated
management of the water resources from the study area.The paper presents some
geological features (lithology, facies variations) and hydrogeological
(hydrostatic level variation, dynamics, etc.) of the phreatic aquifer, as
elements of a better knowledge of the phreatic aquifer from the Tarnava Mica
flood plain and terraces.
Keywords: lithology, facies variations, hydrostatic level variation.
