The fluvial geochemistry of the Subarnarekha River and its major tributaries has been studied on a seasonal basis in order to assess the geochemical processes that explain the water composition and estimate solute fluxes. The analytical results show the mildly acidic to alkaline nature of the Subarnarekha River water and the dominance of \(\hbox {Ca}^{2+}\) and \(\hbox {Na}^{+}\) in cationic and \(\hbox {HCO}_{3}^{-}\) and \({\hbox {Cl}}^{-}\) in anionic composition. Minimum ionic concentration during the monsoon and maximum concentration in the pre-monsoon seasons reflect concentrating effects due to decrease in the river discharge and increase in the base flow contribution during the pre-monsoon and dilution effects of atmospheric precipitation in the monsoon season. The solute acquisition processes are mainly controlled by weathering of rocks, with minor contribution from marine and anthropogenic sources. Higher contribution of alkaline earth \((\hbox {Ca}^{2+}{+}\,\hbox {Mg}^{2+})\) to the total cations \((\hbox {TZ}^{+})\) and high \((\hbox {Na}^{+}+\hbox {K}^{+})/\hbox {Cl}^{-}\), \((\hbox {Na}^{+}+\hbox {K}^{+})/\hbox {TZ}^{+}\), \(\hbox {HCO}_{3}^{-}/(\hbox {SO}_{4}^{2-}+\hbox {Cl}^{-})\) and low \((\hbox {Ca}^{2+}+\hbox {Mg}^{2+})/(\hbox {Na}^{+}+\hbox {K}^{+})\) equivalent ratios suggest that the Subarnarekha River water is under the combined influence of carbonate and silicate weathering. The river water is undersaturated with respect to dolomite and calcite during the post-monsoon and monsoon seasons and oversaturated in the pre-monsoon season. The pH–log \(\hbox {H}_{4}\hbox {SiO}_{4}\) stability diagram demonstrates that the water chemistry is in equilibrium with the kaolinite. The Subarnarekha River annually delivered \(1.477\times 10^{6}\) ton of dissolved loads to the Bay of Bengal, with an estimated chemical denudation rate of \(77\hbox { ton km}^{-2}\hbox { yr}^{-1}\). Sodium adsorption ratio, residual sodium carbonate and per cent sodium values placed the studied river water in the ‘excellent to good quality’ category and it can be safely used for irrigation. 相似文献

This investigation is intended to evaluate the surface water quality of Brahmani River in order to determine its uses for different purposes. The water samples were collected from the strategic locations of the river from February 2014 to July 2015 and analyzed for physicochemical parameters such as water temperature; pH; electrical conductivity (EC); dissolved oxygen (DO); total dissolved solids (TDS); major cations, e.g., Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+; and major anions, e.g., F?, Cl?, \( {\mathrm{SO}}_4^{2-} \), \( {\mathrm{NO}}_3^{-} \), \( {\mathrm{PO}}_4^{2-} \), and alkalinity. The water quality index (WQI) being a valuable and unique rating scale to depict the overall water quality status in a single term has been employed to determine the feasibility of using the river water as a source for various activities. The parameters with higher impact on water quality were selected to derive WQI of each selected sampling station. Results showed significant deterioration in quality of water at some of the sampling stations. WQI of Brahmani River ranged from 37.87 to 62.36 which falls in the range of good to poor quality of water. Pearson’s correlation matrix was derived to find possible interrelations among water quality parameters. 相似文献

To assess the effects of river damming on dissolved inorganic carbon in the Jialing River, a total of 40 water samples, including inflow, outflow, and stratified water in four cascade reservoirs (Tingzikou, Xinzheng, Dongxiguan, Caojie) were collected in January and July, 2016. The major cations, anions, and δ13CDIC values were analyzed. It was found that the dissolved compositions are dominated by carbonate weathering, while sulfuric acids may play a relatively important role during carbonate weathering and increasing DIC concentration. Different reservoirs had variable characteristics of water physiochemical stratification. The DIC concentrations of reservoir water were lower in summer than those in winter due to the dilute effects and intensive aquatic photosynthesis, as well as imported tributaries. The δ13CDIC values in Tingzikou Reservoir were higher during summer than those in winter, which indicated that intensive photosynthesis increased the δ13CDIC values in residual water, but a similar trend was not obvious in other reservoirs. Except for in Xinzheng Reservoir, the δ13CDIC values in inflow and outflow reservoir water were lower than those in the surface water of stratified sampling in summer. For stratified sampling, it could be found that, in summer, the Tingzikou Reservoir δ13CDIC values significantly decreased with water depth due to the anaerobic breakdown of organic matter. The significant correlation (p < 0.01 or 0.05) between the DIC concentrations, the δ13CDIC values and anthropogenic species (Na++K+, Cl–, \({\text{SO}}_{4}^{2 - }\)and \({\text{NO}}_{3}^{ - }\)) showed that the isotope composition of DIC can be a useful tracer of contaminants. In total, Tingzikou Reservoir showed lacustrine features, Xinzheng Reservoir and Dongxiguan Reservoir had “transitional” features, and Caojie Reservoir had a total of “fluvial” features. Generally, cascade reservoirs in the Jialing River exhibited natural river features rather than typical lake features due to characteristics of reservoir water in physiochemical stratification, spatiotemporal variations of DIC concentrations and isotopic compositions. It is evident that the dissolved inorganic carbon dynamics of natural rivers had been partly remolded by dam building. 相似文献

Oxygen isotope ratios in streamflow of the Missouri River basin vary geographically due to differences in source precipitation and the integration of waters from upstream regions. Average '18O values in the Missouri River main stem systematically increase from less than -17 in the headwaters to about -9 in the lower basin. Seasonal variations at a given location result from fluctuations in meteoric precipitation, residence time in reservoirs and groundwater systems, evaporation, and snowmelt. Average water chemistry values are successfully predicted for the upstream stations of two reaches on the lower Missouri River based on changes in discharge along each reach and water quality measurements collected at the downstream stations. Source regions for some dissolved ions found in the lower Missouri River are also identified. Sodium and sulfate originate predominantly from the basin above Sioux City, Iowa, while nitrate is largely derived from agricultural regions below Sioux City. 相似文献

Water and sediment samples collected from the Gomti River, a tributary of the Ganges River system, during the postmonsoon season have been analyzed to estimate major elemental chemistry. Water chemistry of the River Gomti shows almost monotonous spatial distribution of various chemical species, especially because of uniform presence of alluvium Dun gravels throughout the basin. The river annually transports 0.34×106 tonnes of total suspended material (TSM) and 3.0×106 tonnes of total dissolved solids (TDS), 69 percent of which is accounted for by bicarbonate ions only. Samples collected downstream of the city of Lucknow show the influence of anthropogenic loadings for a considerable distance in the river water. Na+, Cl–, and SO4
2– concentrations build up downstream. The bed sediment chemistry is dominated by Si (36 percent), reflecting a high percentage of detrital quartz, which makes up about 74 percent of the mineralogy of the bed sediments in the River Gomti. The average Kjeldahl nitrogen concentration (234 g/g) indicates indirectly the amount of organic matter in the sediments. The Hg concentration in sediments has been found to be higher (average 904 ppb) than the background value. The suspended sediments are well sorted, very finely skewed, and extremely leptokurtic, indicating a low energy condition of flow in the Gomti River. The influence of chemical loads in the Gomti has been found to be small or nonexistent on the Ganges River, perhaps because the water discharge of the Gomti (1.57 percent) to the Ganges is quite low. 相似文献

Bays, lagoons, and estuaries are sites where normal physicochemical processes result in accumulations of sediment and certain chemicals. Changes in water velocity and chemistry, and chemical interactions of sediment, biota, and water are factors that contribute to concentrating trace metals in coastal and lake sediments. To evaluate whether lead concentration is affected by mineralogy, kaolinite, illite, montmorillonite, and a zeolitic tuff were suspended in 10 and 20 mg/l concentrations of lead solutions [Pb(NO3)2] which were pH-adjusted incrementally through a range of 2.5 to 11.0. Samples were centrifuged after 24 hours to separate liquid from suspended sediment. Sediment-free solutions were run as controls. Lead concentrations were determined by atomic adsorption spectrophotometry. Results indicate that montmorillonite (Wyoming Bentonite) particles serve as lead adsorption nuclei over a broad pH range. Maximum sorption occurs as the solution reaches a pH of about 7.5. The kaolinite clay from Georgia strongly adsorbs trace amounts of lead at pH ranging from 3.0 to 4.5, where up to 95 percent of the lead is adsorbed by the clay. Little adsorption difference was found between the Fithian illite clay and zeolitic tuff from the Nevada Test Site in comparison to sediment-free solutions which were pH-adjusted. In concentrations of 10 to 20 mg/l montmorillonite and kaolinite clays serve as nucleation sites capable of adsorbing up to 95 percent of trace concentrations of lead within 24 hours. It appears that accumulations of lead in coastal lake and estuarine sediments are significantly influenced by:
- pH changes which occur as river and coastal waters mix resulting in precipitation of lead, and
- sorption of lead by suspended clays.

The objective of this study was to examine the interaction between the Atchafalaya River and the Atchafalaya Delta estuarine complex. Measurements of suspended sediments, inorganic nutrients (NO3 ?, NH4 +, PO4 3?), chlorophylla (chla), and-salinity were taken monthly from December 1996 to January 1998. These data were compiled by season, and the Atchafalaya River plume data were also analyzed using the Generalized Additive Model technique. There were significant decreases in NO3 ? concentrations during summer, fall, and winter as river water passed through the estuary, that were attributable to chemical and biological processes rather than dilution with ambient water. In some regions there were higher chla concentrations during summer and fall compared to winter and spring, when river discharge and the introduction of inorganic nutrients were highest, suggesting biological processes were active during this study. The presence of NH4 +, as a percentage of available dissolved inorganic nitrogen, increased with distance from the Atchafalaya River, indicative of remineralization processes and NO3 ? reduction. Mean PO4 3? concentrations were often higher in the estuarine regions compared to the Atchafalaya River. During summer total suspended solid (TSS) concentrations increased with distance from the river mouth, suggesting a turbidity maximum. Highest chla concentrations were found in the bayous and shallow water bodies of the Terrebonne marshes, as were the lowest TSS concentrations. The low chla concentrations found in other areas of this study, despite high inorganic nutrient concentrations, suggest light limitation as the major control of phytoplankton growth. Salinity reached near seawater concentrations at the outer edge of the Atchafalaya River plume, but much lower salinities (<10 psu) were observed at all other regions. The Atchafalaya Delta estuarine complex buffers the impact of the Atchafalaya River on the Louisiana coastal shelf zone, with a 41% of 47% decrease in Atchafalaya River NO3 ? concentrations before reaching Gulf waters. 相似文献

Conditional simulation with data subject to measurement error has received little attention in the geostatistical literature. The treatment of measurement error in simulation must be different from its treatment in estimation. Two approaches are examined: pre- and post-simulation filtering of data measurement error. The pre-simulation filtering is shown to be inefficient. The post-simulation filtering performs best. It is done by factorial kriging and a modified version of factorial kriging which ensures predetermined theoretical variance for the filtered data. It also is shown that the theoretical variogram of the filtered data reproduces the underlying variogram (i.e., without noise) almost perfectly. A simulation with a high level of correlated noise is used for validation and comparison. The post-simulation filtered values show an experimental variogram in agreement with the previously identified underlying variogram. Moreover, the filtered image compares well with the true image. The theoretical variogram corresponding to the post-simulation filter can be computed beforehand. Thus, the size of the simulation grid and of the filter neighborhood can be adjusted to ensure good reproduction of the underlying variogram. 相似文献

在土工织物反滤排水工程中,织物滤层在应力、渗流实际工况下的反滤特性是保证工程安全的关键问题。为揭示无纺土工织物过滤黏土的反滤机制,采用自主研制的可施加法向压应力的梯度比渗透仪试验装置测定黏土−无纺土工织物滤层体系的渗透系数kT、各分层土的渗透系数kj、梯度比RG和试验前后土工织物试样的质量变化情况,研究在不同水力梯度、应力水平下无纺土工织物过滤黏土的反滤特性。结果表明：黏土−无纺土工织物滤层体系的渗透系数kT和梯度比RG随着时间的增加而减小,并最终趋于一个稳定值;增大水力梯度可以改善黏土−无纺土工织物滤层的透水性,增加应力水平会降低土工织物滤层的透水性且提高其保土性;渗流作用下,被保护土层表现为靠近无纺土工织物的底层土渗透系数最小,远离无纺土工织物的最上层土的渗透系数最大;堵塞系数与黏土−无纺土工织物滤层体系的渗透系数kT、梯度比RG存在内在的关系,在特定的应力−渗流作用下可能存在一个临界堵塞系数,大于该值时将造成无纺土工织物滤层的反滤失效。 相似文献

Textural characteristics — mean, dispersion, and skewness — and heavy metal concentrations — Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Hg — were determined for 41 bottom grab samples collected during July, 1973, at the mouth of the Fox River proximate to a coal-fired electric generating plant. The principal sediment types identified were very fine sand \((\bar x = 3.08\phi )\) and medium silt \((\bar x = 5.54\phi )\) . Irregular sediment distribution patterns along the western bank of the river reflect the complex interaction of the river currents and the orthogonally injected thermal effluent. Beyond the influence of the discharge plume, a more regular trend of sediment dispersal was identified. Sedimentary processes operative within this shallow environment are subject to considerable modification by wind-induced turbulence. The levels of Cr, Cu, Zn, and Cd were two to four times more concentrated in the Recent sediments than in the underlying glaciolacustrine deposits of red (Valders) clay. Ni concentrations were generally low while Hg was 15 to 35 times higher than background levels. Heavy metals were more concentrated in the fine-grained sediments of the river and shipping channel than in the coarser fractions along the river banks and nearshore environments of the lower Bay. The thermal effluent of the power plant has local but significant physical effects on the sediments in the vicinity of the discharge outlet. The chemical character of the sediments is established principally through upstream sources in the Fox River. 相似文献

Weathering of rocks that regulate the water chemistry of the river has been used to evaluate the CO2 consumption rate which exerts a strong influence on the global climate. The foremost objective of the present research is to estimate the chemical weathering rate (CWR) of the continental water in the entire stretch of Brahmaputra River from upstream to downstream and their associated CO2 consumption rate. To establish the link between the rapid chemical weathering and thereby enhance CO2 drawdown from the atmosphere, the major ion composition of the Brahmaputra River that drains the Himalaya has been obtained. Major ion chemistry of the Brahmaputra River was resolved on samples collected from nine locations in pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon seasons for two cycles: cycle I (2011–2012) and cycle II (2013–2014). The physico-chemical parameters of water samples were analysed by employing standard methods. The Brahmaputra River was characterized by alkalinity, high concentration of Ca2+ and HCO3 ? along with significant temporal variation in major ion composition. In general, it was found that water chemistry of the river was mainly controlled by rock weathering with minor contributions from atmospheric and anthropogenic sources. The effective CO2 pressure (log\({{\text{P}}_{{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}}}\)) for pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon has been estimated. The question of rates of chemical weathering (carbonate and silicate) was addressed by using TDS and run-off (mm year?1). It has been found that the extent of CWR is directly dependent on the CO2 consumption rate which may be further evaluated from the perspective of climate change mitigation The average annual CO2 consumption rate of the Brahmaputra River due to silicate and carbonate weathering was found to be 0.52 (×106 mol Km?2 year?1) and 0.55 (×106 mol Km?2 year?1) for cycle I and 0.49 (×106 mol Km?2 year?1) and 0.52 (×106 mol Km?2 year?1) for cycle II, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of other Himalayan rivers. Estimation of CWR of the Brahmaputra River indicates that carbonate weathering largely dominates the water chemistry of the Brahmaputra River. 相似文献

This study characterizes the major ion chemistry for river water in the upper reaches of Bengbu Sluice in the Huai River Basin in wet and dry seasons, and assessed the suitability of water quality for irrigation and human consumption. It is found that sodium and calcium are the dominant cations and bicarbonate is the dominant anion in most river water samples. River water in Zhoukou of the Ying River and Bozhou of the Guo River is characterized as a Na–Cl water type, whereas river water from the upper reaches and the lower reaches of the two cities is characterized as a Na-HCO3 water type, which may be attributed by anthropogenic influences in these cities. The river water types vary from the upstream to the downstream of the Fuyang sluice, which indicates that the sluices play a critical role in determining the water type. The water chemistry of these rivers clearly shows that the second group of rivers is affected more severely by waste effluent than is the first group. Calculated values of sodium adsorption ratio, %Na, and residual sodium carbonate indicate that, in general, most of the river water is of acceptable irrigation quality. The river water in Zhoukou section of the Ying River and the Bozhou section of the Guo River cannot be used as drinking water; pollution control should be further improved and enhanced across the river. 相似文献

The results reported in the present paper are a by-product of a detailed study of the heavy metals (Zn, Pb, Cu, Cd, Co, Ni, Cr, Fe, Mn) carried by the Upper Neckar River, Germany. The purpose was to determine the pollution by industrial waste of the river waters (Abadian 1976). In order to elucidate the various mechanisms of heavy-metal transport in the river, the clay of the bottom sediments and that carried in suspension was analysed for the metals at a number of locations and subjected to X-ray diffraction for the determination of the clay minerals present. The bottom sediments consist of kaolinite, illite, random interstratification (of mica and expandable layers) and quartz. In some samples chlorite and calcite were detected as well. The mineral content of the suspended load was collected by pressure filtration on porous ceramic plates. The clay minerals determined by subjecting the plates plus filtered residue to X-ray diffraction were the same as in the sediments. In addition to the clay-mineral reflections, three of the samples obtained from suspension (locations 2, 3, and 5 in the map, Fig. 1) showed the strongest diffraction line of the mineral brushite, CaHPO4·2H2O, at 7.6 Å. In one sample (location 2) three more lines of brushite were observed. The occurrence of brushite in the Neckar may be taken as a mineralogical indicator of the pollution of the river, because the following materials may be possible sources of the phosphate: artificial fertilizers, liquid manure, water softeners, detergents, and industrial waste waters. 相似文献

The Carson River flows in a closed basin system and the total flow of the river water decreases downstream due to both evaporation and consumptive uses. This river system is fed primarily by snow pack in the Sierra Nevada during the winter, which flows down gradient following melting in spring and summer. Water loss through evaporation in the Carson River results in a downstream buildup of conservative elements such as Cl− and certain oxyanion forming elements including Se, Mo and W, which are known to interfere with the transformation of Hg within the S cycle. In addition to these naturally occurring hydrologic processes and the resulting affects on water chemistry, the Carson River Basin has been historically impacted by Au and Ag mining that used Hg amalgamation techniques. Contamination of Hg in the Carson River system is now well documented and published Hg concentrations in different environmental compartments are extremely high. In this study, hydrologically driven changes in water chemistry of the river system and the resulting effects on Hg cycling were examined. Results show that periods of low water flow correspond to high water pH (up to 8.3), relatively high concentrations of oxyanion forming elements (e.g., As, Se, Mo and W), and low Hg methylation potential in sediment. In contrast, periods of high flow bring about dilution, which results in lower pH (∼7), lower concentrations of oxyanion forming elements, but higher Hg methylation potential. Overall, changes in flow regimes likely affect rates of methyl-Hg (MeHg) production through a combination of factors such as high pH, which favors MeHg demethylation, and the occurrence of relatively high concentrations of Group VI oxyanions that could interfere with microbial SO4 reduction and MeHg production. 相似文献

Two of the main problems encountered during the digital filtering of large two-dimensional arrays of data are those of core storage and excessive computational time. Recursive filters appear to offer a means of overcoming these difficulties. However, the recursive filtering technique has not been very popular for applications involving the typically large arrays common to earth science because of the filter stability design problem. Recently it was shown that if the rotated filter concept is used, stable circularly symmetrical two-dimensional recursive filters can be generated quickly and easily. The operators produced in this way can be applied as component cascades of complex bilinear filters in a two-dimensional difference equation. To test the effectiveness of this type of filter, a data set consisting of point determinations of ore grade in a major Canadian open pit copper mine was obtained and filtered by both the nonrecursive and the rotated filter method. The results showed that the rotated recursive filter compared very favorably in performance to, and required less storage than, the nonrecursive filter. 相似文献

在对1958—2000年期间黄河水系100个站点水质监测资料进行统计分析的基础上,研究了黄河主要离子的地球化学。结果表明,黄河流域各区河水总溶解性固体(TDS)含量的差异达2~3个数量级,TDS的总平均值为452mg/L,是全球河流均值的4倍。Na+、K+、SO42-和Cl-的含量是世界河流均值的10~20倍。相比之下,河水TDS含量的季节差异却不大,远不及与此呈反比关系的流量的季节差异。黄河洪水期的水量通常是枯水期的4~5倍,但枯水期河水的TDS通常只是洪水期的2倍,完全不同于世界其他大河。黄河的离子化学主要受沉积岩(尤其是富含碳酸盐矿物的黄土)化学风化作用和在干旱气候影响下水中溶解盐的蒸发浓缩和结晶作用的控制。近半个世纪来黄河河道径流量有显著减少的趋势,这与新修建的众多水库的蓄水有关,与此相适应,近半个世纪来黄河水质表现出明显的盐渍化过程,这一过程主要由含盐量高的农田灌溉回水所引起。 相似文献

The study was done to assess the effect of the river Sutlej on arsenic (As) contamination. Sampling was done from the alluvial plain with increasing distance from the river Sutlej in district Vehari and compared with the study done in the proximity of River Sutlej. Sixty (60) groundwater samples mostly from shallow depths were collected and analyzed for As concentrations. Multivariate statistical tools (PCA and CA), saturation index, piper plots and Gibbs diagrams were used to detect evidence about the interrelationship and sources of As and other water quality variables responsible for groundwater contamination. Results revealed that As concentration ranged from below detection limit to 156 µg/L indicating that 50% samples exceeding the WHO guidelines (10 µg/L) and 17% exceeding the Pakistan National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) limits (50 µg/L) Sutlej. The piper plot revealed that water chemistry of the study area was Ca–HCO3?, Ca–Mg–Cl, type. Correlations between As and HCO3? (r2?=?0.433) was positive, while negative correlations were observed between As–Mn2+ and As–Fe2+ (r2?=???0.102), (r2?=?0.107) respectively. Geochemical signatures of the groundwater in the study area showed that the As could be released by oxidative dissolution to some extent and elevated evaporation in the arid environment of the study area under the stimulus of alkaline water and high pH (range 7.1–8.4). Although the concentrations are exceeding the WHO limit in 50% of the water samples but, are less than the previous study done in Mailsi near River Sutlej. Further, the concentrations decreased as the distance from the River increased which shows the probable role of sediments deposited by the River Sutlej. 相似文献
