Abstract
This work presents the results of a hydrogeochemical study conducted in two galleries on the island of Tenerife: Fuente del Valle and San Fernando, during a 2-year period with weekly sampling (July 2016 to July 2018). Groundwater temperature, pH, and electrical conductivity exhibited stable values throughout the study period, while significant temporal variations were observed in the total alkalinity, SO42−/Cl− ratio (in meq·L−1), and isotopic composition (δ18O and δD). δ13CTDIC values showed an endogenous signature for both galleries, while δ18O and δD values indicated a meteoric origin with interaction with endogenous gases, mainly CO2. Changes in isotopic ratios coincided with variations observed in alkalinity and SO42−/Cl− ratio. On October 2, 2016, a seismic swarm of long-period events was recorded on Tenerife followed by a general increase of the seismic activity in and around the island. A correlation was observed between some hydrogeochemical parameters in the groundwaters of the galleries related to observed changes of the seismic activity.
