Sources of leakages at AL-Jumine Dam, NW Tunis, Tunisia
Al-Jumine Dam (90 m high, 600 m long and 60 km NW of Tunis, Tunisia) is constructed on a nonperennial stream, which is storing more than 130 million cubic meters of water (irrigation and drinking for Tunis and Bizerte). Collected data from two drains, piezometers, injected tracers and environmental...

| Tartalmi kivonat: | Al-Jumine Dam (90 m high, 600 m long and 60 km NW of Tunis, Tunisia) is constructed on a nonperennial stream, which is storing more than 130 million cubic meters of water (irrigation and drinking for Tunis and Bizerte). Collected data from two drains, piezometers, injected tracers and environmental isotopes were interpreted to determine the possibility and extent of leakage (from the dam) as well as the different types of groundwater intercepted at varying distances from the site. The interpretation of the aforementioned data showed a sizable front of water leaking (at a rate decreasing away from the dam site) and that this fresh water front is being mixed with a local groundwater of higher salinity .The water seepage might constitute a potential risk threatening the integrity of Al-Jumine Dam. |
