Purapurani Aquifer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Purapurani Aquifer is a natural reservoir of underground water extending across the Bolivian municipalities of El Alto, Laja, Pucarani and Viacha in the Altiplano.[1] The aquifer has its recharge area in its northern fringes.[2] The water supply of La Paz, El Alto and Viacha depends on the aquifer.[3] Some of its shallow waters in the north are contaminated.[3]
