Abstract

The Sancho Dam was built in 1962 and is fed by the Meca River, which in turn, receives water from subsidiary tributaries affected by AMD, mostly generated by the abandoned Tharsis mining complex. The stored water is used for industrial purposes, supplying a pulp mill located 15 km downstream, in San Juan del Puerto (SW-Spain). The Tharsis mining complex is responsible for the maximum levels of contamination by AMD recorded in the Odiel basin. In the present work it has been done a literature review and compilation of state of the art for this reservoir, regarding issues, such as the hydrochemical characterization, the hydrodynamic relationships and the processes of dissolution-precipitation that take place in.
