Abstract
The Charca de Suárez Nature Reserve is a coastal wetland located in the south of Spain. The wetland complex is composed of 8 lakes in a lowland area of the Motril-Salobreña aquifer, where the watertable is near to the surface topography. The hydrodynamic of this system was analyzed in 4 of the 8 lagoons based on water table elevation, seepage meter measurements, surficial flow and climatic conditions. The results showed differences in the interaction with groundwater for each of the lakes conforming the wetland. Also, seasonal and event related changes can be observed, which indicates the necessity of continuous measurements in the wetland.
