“…However, most of the knowledge about them needs to be improved; the least studied are those found in the Amazon, Orinoco, and Pacific regions [21,29]. Many of Colombia's aquifer systems have been overexploited and polluted [21,[34][35][36].…”

“…To know the true state of groundwater and the maintenance of ecosystems, it is important to characterize the aquifer recharge process [38]. Only some evaluations have been carried out, such as the aquifers of the Bogotá savannah, Cauca, and the Middle Magdalena Valley [21,35,39,43]. In addition to the IDEAM work, some research has been carried out on the dynamics between surface and groundwater [37][38][39].…”

Water is essential for life on Earth, playing fundamental roles in climate regulation, ecosystem maintenance, and domestic, agricultural, and industrial processes. A total of 70% of the planet is covered by water. However, only 2.5% is fresh water, and much of it is inaccessible. Groundwater is the main source of the planet’s available water resources. For that reason, groundwater is a critically important resource, and is increasingly vulnerable due to the climate crisis and contamination. These challenges threaten the availability of clean and safe water, necessitating an understanding of effective and sustainable management. This review presents an overview of the concepts of aquifers and groundwater. Also, it reflects on the importance of these resources in developing countries such as Colombia (South America). In addition, it considers the characteristics of mineral waters, their uses, and associated risks, as well as their exploration and control policies. Colombia is a country with immense water and biological wealth and is crucial to maintaining the climate and availability of global water resources. Nevertheless, managing Colombia’s aquifers is a challenge, as many have not yet been fully explored. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to study hydrogeochemistry through the application of advanced technologies to analyze the dynamics, distribution, and quality of groundwater, as well as its vulnerability to pollution and climate change. On the other hand, the consumption of mineral groundwater can have health benefits, such as positive cardiovascular and gastrointestinal effects. But geogenic, biogenic, or anthropogenic elements such as heavy metals and microplastics can pose a risk to human health. The need for proper management of water resources to prevent risks to human health and the environment is emphasized. Therefore, an integrated approach to water resource management will ensure conservation and sustainable use, secure a continuous supply of freshwater, and facilitate adaptation to climate change.

En el departamento de Antioquia, además de las unidades geológicas con porosidad primaria, la afectación tectoestructural presente en las rocas duras confiere a unidades metamórficas e ígneas propiedades de permeabilidad que permiten el flujo y almacenamiento de aguas subterráneas. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo sintetizar información útil para la identificación de potenciales zonas para la realización de nueva exploración hidrogeológica en Antioquia. El ensamble de la cartografía geológica oficial, escala 1:100 000, ajustado al mapa geológico de Antioquia 1:400 000, suministró el insumo base para separar los distintos tipos de roca y la afectación estructural que sobre ellos se ha registrado, para así imprimirles características de permeabilidad que se calificaron con rangos entre muy bajo y muy alto. La determinación del potencial hidrogeológico, a partir de criterios geológicos, parte de la idea según la cual la naturaleza y distribución de acuíferos y acuitardos en un sistema geológico están controlados por la litología, estratigrafía y estructuras de los depósitos y las formaciones geológicas. Como resultados, se encontró que la Dunita de Medellín, los depósitos de vertiente, la Formación Guineales, los aluviales del Terciario, la Formación Cerrito, el Grupo Sincelejo, la Formación Corpa, las terrazas y aluviones recientes, y la Formación Mesa tienen potencialidad acuífera muy alta (23,4 % del área departamental); el 5 % de la superficie del departamento tendría rocas con potencial acuífero alto, y el 35 %, medio; en el 37 % restante el potencial sería menor. A partir de estos hallazgos se concluye que el potencial de aguas subterráneas en Antioquia abarca unidades geológicas con porosidad y permeabilidad primaria y secundaria; en este sentido, la exploración de aguas subterráneas en el departamento es una tarea urgente en pro del conocimiento hidrogeológico y la búsqueda de fuentes complementarias de abastecimiento para la población.
