“…Its first appearance seems to be in the 1970's in documents such as IUREP (1977).

Synonymy: The Pesé Formation is differentiated from the Tonosí Formation in Ministerio de Comercio e Industrias (1991) (APP-B3; APP-B4) and in Instituto Geografico Nacional (IGN) "Tommy Guardia" (1996) (APP-B1; APP-B2); however, it is later described as part of "Late Eocene or?…”

Nonetheless, the term keeps being used after 2011 by several authors specializing in the field of archeology rather than geology (Iizuka (2013(Iizuka ( & 2017; Castrellon- Romero et al (2019)).

“…The lapilli tuffs of the Pesé Formation are rather compact, so they are expected to have a low hydraulic conductivity, however the tuffs usually have a high specific yield, which favors groundwater storage. Castrellon- Romero et al (2019) Thickness: The formation is at least 300 meters deep within the Macaracas Valley, near the town of Macaracas. Castrellon et al 2019Macro Fossils: Fossil woods lie on the surface, associated with volcanic tuffs.…”

The stratigraphic knowledge of Panama was, until now, spread over hundreds of scientific/geologic publications written during the past 120 years. The construction of the Panama Canal during the early twentieth century helped galvanizing the engineering and geological disciplines to understand the tectonic, sedimentation and biodiversity of the Cenozoic Era in this part of the world. Later, few petroleum companies arrived on the scene and contributed to our knowledge of the sub-surface. The past thirty years saw a surge of studies by many institutions in areas away from the Canal, such as in Darien, Azuero Peninsula, Bocas del Toro, and the Burica Peninsula near the Costa Rica Border. Our most recent knowledge came from the widening of the Panama Canal between 2007 and 2016. It is from all these older and recent studies that the present Lexicon draws its content. It provides the historical background of all described geological units in Panama and summarizes the lithological and paleontological knowledge of each units in an easy-to-search format.

“…Los acuíferos presentes en esta región son de porosidad secundaria, extensión local y de baja a media productividad. En la subcuenca del río Estibaná, localizada en la península de Azuero, se identificaron seis (6) diferentes unidades hidrogeológicas basadas en las diferentes formaciones geológicas existentes en la zona de estudio: Playa Venado, Quema, Valleriquito, Pesé, Santiago, y Changuinola-Ocú [6].…”

El Arco Seco de Panamá está ubicado en las provincias de Herrera, Los Santos y Coclé. Tiene la precipitación anual más baja del país, con un máximo de 400 mm (temporada seca) y 1600 mm (temporada lluviosa). La deforestación y la construcción descontrolada de pozos afecta el suelo y la disponibilidad de aguas subterráneas. Investigaciones hidrogeológicas y pedológicas son la base para el desarrollo de planes de uso de suelo y de manejo del recurso hídrico. Dos proyectos se llevan a cabo en esta región, uno en la subcuenca del río Estibaná (SRE), y otro en la subcuenca del río Zaratí (SRZ), en Los Santos y Coclé, respectivamente. Datos geológicos, incluyendo mapas y registros de perforación se utilizaron para identificar las principales unidades hidrogeológicas del área de estudio. La interacción entre aguas superficiales y subterráneas se evaluó a partir de mediciones de caudales en ríos y niveles piezométricos en pozos. Los resultados indican que el nivel piezométrico es somero (~10 m) para ambas subcuencas y los ríos ganan agua del acuífero. Los suelos de la subcuenca del río Zaratí se clasificaron usando técnicas de prospección de barreno en 136 puntos. Los suelos Ultisoles de la parte alta tienen una conductividad hidráulica lenta mientras que en la parte media son más antiguos con una baja infiltración. Los suelos Entisoles e Inceptisoles, con alto contenido orgánico, predominan en la cuenca alta.
