Abstract

Soil
 is
 the
 first
 natural
 barrier
 that
 has
 to
 be
 crossed
 by
 the
 compounds
 deposited
 on
 the
 Earth's
 surface
 to
 reach
 aquifers.
 Knowing
 about
 the
 physicochemical
 properties
 involved
 in
 the
 infiltration
 processes,
 as
 well
 as
 the
 soil
 type,
 are
 essential
 parameters
 which
 allows
 us
 to
 analyze
 the
 risk
 of
 contamination
 affecting
 the
 composition
 of
 groundwater.
 In
 this
 work,
 the
 environmental
 factors
 of
 the
 area
 around
 the
Balneario
de
Villavieja
Nules
(Castellón
de
la
 Plana)
are
described,
and
some
of
the
chemical,
 physical,
 and
 mineralogical
 characteristics
 of
 four
 soils
 are
 analyzed.
 Most
 particularly
 C,
 N,
 pH,
 CE,
 CIC
 y
 CO3
 2‐ ,
 as
 well
 as
 texture,
 bulk
 density,
 particle
 density,
 porosity,
 hydraulic
 parameters
 and
 clay
 fraction
 mineralogy
 were
 determined.
 The
 results
 showed
 that
 the
 environmental
 characteristics
 of
 the
 area,
 together
 with
 the
 types
 of
 soil
 analyzed
 slow
 down
the
water
flow
processes.
