dc.description.abstractThe coastal plain of Rio Grande do Sul state, in Brazil, is highly vulnerable to expected changes in sea level, while having an increasing population and consequently increasing water demands. Adequate management is essential to restrain contamination, depletion and salinization of the region’s aquifers considering current and future challenges, but geologic knowledge is essential to guide groundwater sustainable practices. To contribute to this discussion, this work integrated existing geological data from the northern coast of Rio Grande do Sul state to create a three-dimensional representation of the main hydrostratigraphical units of the region and its relation to the basement rocks, expanding the current knowledge of the coastal aquifer system. A review of existing data was carried out, consisting of 307 borehole logs from 13 municipalities inside the area of interest, as well as 19 vertical electrical soundings and 37 logs from oil and coal exploratory drillings, that resulted in 315 input points for the model. This work builds up on the conceptual model previously developed for the area, that defined four hydrostratigraphical units for the region, and was able to constrain the geometries of the main aquifers (unit 1 and 3) and aquitards (unit 2 and 4) and their relation to the basement rocks, showing them to be more heterogeneous in thicknesses and extent than previously thought. In addition, this work was able to model what could be a fifth hydrostratigraphical unit, that strongly differs from the other four and could be an indication of the alluvial fans previously described in the literature.en
