Resumen:
|
El Salt is an episodic waterfall located in the city of Alcoy (Spain), Alicante. The Barxell River Source, has calcium bicarbonate waters and an estimated flow rate of 17,000 m3 / day. It is a potential tufa generator, with an estimated generation capacity of up to 1,240 t / year. The tufa deposits located along Barxell River relates to the geomorphologic evolution of valley. Upstream the active waterfall it found a tufa river terrace T (+20 m). Downstream cascade, several types of tufa deposits links to two stages of geomorphologic evolution of the valley: a) The distal progradation tufa deposits related to a “non-effective to base-level change incision”, described as piedmont or progradation tufa build-ups T-1, T-2 and T-3; and b) The post "incisional base level change" tufa deposits, Font del Quinzet (T-4) tufa barrier, associated with back-lake sediments, and finally active tufa seeps on cliff (T-5).
