Resumen:
The aquifer of the coastal underground sub -Basin "Artemisa-Quivicán" was characterized by means of nuclear techniques (isotopic hydrology), in order to propose its best exploitation and contribute to the sustainable management of the water resources in the involved provinces. Four investigative stages were developed, which included the design and definition of the net optimized for isotopic and physiochemical monitoring in underground and surface waters; the isotopic and physical -chemistry characterization of waters and precipitations in the region; the identification of the possible co ntamination sources; and finally the obtaining of isotopic and physical -chemical criteria to evaluate the vulnerability to the contamination in the sub -basin. The results supported the effective solution of the environmental problems related to the sustainable management of hydrological resources in the basin. Such water resources sustain food production in the area and contribute to the water consumption.
