Quantifying regional groundwater flow between Continental Intercalaire and Djeffara aquifers in southern Tunisia using isotope methods 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Large-scale interaction between the Continental Intercalaire and the Djeffara aquifer systems in the southeast of Tunisia
has been investigated with the aid of chemical and isotopic tracers. Two distinct groundwater types have been identified:
(1) the Continental Intercalaire groundwater characterized by elevated temperatures (50–61.4°C), low δ18O (−8.4 to−7.87) and δ2H (−67.2 to−59) values and negligible radiocarbon content, both testifying its great age dating from the late Pleistocene
period, and (2) the Djeffara groundwater with distinctly heavier isotopic composition (δ18O = −8.31 to −5.80, δ2H = −65.9 to −31.9). The Djeffara groundwaters reveal a distinct changes of physico-chemical and isotopic parameters near
El Hamma Faults in the northwestern part of the Djeffara basin. These changes could possibly be explained by a vertical leakage
from the Continental Intercalaire aquifer through El Hamma Faults. The mixing proportions inferred from stable isotope mass
balance prove that the contribution of the Continental Intercalaire to the recharge of Djeffara aquifer is very significant
and may reach 100% in the El Hamma region and in the northern part of Gabes. Isotope tracers strongly suggest that recent
recharge to the Djeffara aquifer system is very limited. Its current yield, particularly in its central and northern parts
can be maintained only thanks to large-scale underground inflow from the Continental Intercalaire aquifer system, which carries
late Pleistocene palaeowater. Consequently, current exploitation of groundwater resources of the Djeffara aquifer has non-sustainable
character. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine geochemical properties of groundwater and thermal water in the Misli Basin and to assess
thermal water intrusion into shallow groundwater due to over-extraction. According to isotope and hydrochemical analyses results,
sampled waters can be divided into three groups: cold, thermal, and mixed waters. Only a few waters reach water–rock chemical
equilibrium. Thermal waters in the area are characterized by Na+–Cl−–HCO3−, while the cold waters by CaHCO3 facies. On the basis of isotope results, thermal waters in the Misli basin are meteoric origin. In particular, δ18O and δ2H values of shallow groundwater vary from −10.2 to −12.2‰ and −71.2 to −82‰, while those of thermal waters range from −7.8
to −10.1‰ and from −67 to −74‰, respectively. The tritium values of shallow groundwater having short circulation as young
waters coming from wells that range from 30 to 70 m in depth vary from 10 to 14 TU. The average tritium activity of groundwater
in depths more than 100 m is 1.59 ± 1.16, which indicates long circulation. The rapid infiltration of the precipitation, the
recycling of the evaporated irrigation water, the influence of thermal fluids and the heterogeneity of the aquifer make it
difficult to determine groundwater quality changes in the Misli Basin. Obtained results show that further lowering of the
groundwater table by over-consumption will cause further intrusion of thermal water which resulted in high mineral content
into the fresh groundwater aquifer. Because of this phenomenon, the concentrations of some chemical components which impairs
water quality in terms of irrigation purposes in shallow groundwaters, such as Na+, B, and Cl−, are highy probably expected to increase in time. 相似文献

Geochemical assessment of groundwater quality in vicinity of Bhalswa landfill,Delhi, India,using graphical and multivariate statistical methods 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A geochemical assessment of groundwater quality and possible contamination in the vicinity of the Bhalswa landfill site was
carried out by using a hydrochemical approach with graphical and multivariate statistical methods with the objective of identifying
the occurrence of various geochemical processes and understanding the impact of landfill leachates on groundwater quality.
Results indicate that nitrate, fluoride and heavy-metal pollution are in an alarming state with respect to the use of groundwater
for drinking purposes. Various graphical plots and statistical analyses have been applied to the chemical data based on the
ionic constituents, water types, and hydrochemical facies to infer the impact of the landfill on groundwater quality. The
statistical analysis and spatial and temporal variations indicate the leaching of contaminants from the landfill to the groundwater
aquifer system. The concentrations of heavy metals in the landfill leachates are as follows: Fe (22 mg/l), Mn (~20 mg/l),
Cu (~10 mg/l), Pb (~2 mg/l), Ni (0.25 mg/l), Zn (~10 mg/l), Cd (~0.2 mg/l), Cl− (~4,000 mg/l), SO42− (~3,320 mg/l), PO43− (~4 mg/l), NO3− (30 mg/l) and fluoride (~50 mg/l); all were much higher than the standards. The study reveals that the landfill is in a depleted
phase and is affecting groundwater quality in its vicinity and the surrounding area due to leaching of contaminants. 相似文献

Zakynthos, an island of 408 km2 in the Ionian Sea, is completely dependent on its groundwater resources for fulfilling the demands of the water supplies.
The use of groundwater resources has become particularly intensive during the last decades because of the intense urbanization,
the tourist development and the irrigated land expansion that took place. The main aquifers are developed in limestones (karstic),
sandstones of neogene deposits (confined) and alluvial deposits (phreatic). This paper focuses on the assessment of their
hydrogeological characteristics and the groundwater quality. For this investigation, groundwater level measurements, drilling
data, pumping tests and chemical analyses of groundwater samples were used. The average annual consumption that is abstracted
from the aquifer systems, is 4.9 × 106 m3 year−1. The exploitable groundwater reserves were estimated to be 3.3 × 106 m3 year−1. In the last decades, the total abstractions exceed the natural recharge, due to the tourist development; therefore the aquifer
systems are not used safely. The results of chemical analyses showed a deterioration of the groundwater quality. According
to the analyses the shallow alluvial aquifer and the confined aquifer are polluted by nitrates at concentrations in excess
of 25 mg L−1. High sulphate concentrations might be related to the dissolution of gypsum. Seawater intrusion phenomena are recorded in
coastal parts of aquifer systems. The increased Cl− concentrations in karstic aquifer indicate signs of overexploitation. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT)
analysis was applied in order to evaluate the SWOT of the groundwater resources. Moreover, some recommendations are made to
assist the rational management that aim at improving the sustainability of the groundwater resources of Zakynthos Island. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to investigate the quality and usage possibility of groundwater in the Çavuşçayı basin and suggest the best water structure for the groundwater use. Results from hydrochemical analyses reveal that groundwater is mostly affected by salty (Na+–Cl−) waters of the Incik Formation and brackish (Ca2+, Mg2+–SO
4
2−
) waters of the Bayındır Formation. The Alibaba saltpan discharged (2 l/s) from the Incik Formation is used for salt production. In the basin, salinity risk increases with depth and along the groundwater flow direction. Therefore, shallow water and trenches opened in the alluvium aquifer at the east of the basin were determined to yield suitable water with no Na+ and Cl− contamination. Following the heavy rainy period, waters of less salinity and conductivity are possibly used for agriculture. 相似文献

Spatio-temporal characterization of the Pliocene aquifer conditions in Wadi El-Natrun area,Egypt 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Wadi El-Natrun area has recently undergone extensive urban and agricultural expansion. Due to the absence of natural surface
irrigation supplies, the only source of water in the area is the Pliocene groundwater aquifer. As a result, secondary salinization
from increased abstractions is the major threat to the groundwater aquifer. There is a dire need for efficient strategies
to ensure long-term sustainability of the area’s productive agriculture. These strategies should be based on scientific spatio-temporal
monitoring and analysis of the groundwater conditions that is also lacking. To capture the spatio-temporal variability in
groundwater conditions, field measurements of total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, pH, temperature, and water
level as well as lab-based ionic composition were performed on 47 groundwater samples collected during 2006 and 2007. Determinations
of the hydrochemical characteristics, water types, salt assemblages, and the sodium adsorption ratio were carried out on the
samples. Reference data sets recorded in 1973 and 1997 were available for the area and were used to monitor the changes occurred
in these periods. Geographic information system (GIS) was appraised for mapping and for integrated analysis of the different
layers. Remotely sensed change detection techniques were applied to the Landsat TM and the ETM + imageries and used to highlight
the extensive reclamation and urbanization and to find key trends for the alterations in the groundwater conditions and their
spatial association with land covers. Results revealed a topographic depression-induced flow pattern, predominance of leaching
and dissolution processes, the presence of saline lakes, over-pumping from the Pliocene aquifer, and temporal changes in land
uses are the main factors combined to control the spatio-temporal variability in the groundwater. Results also clarified the
presence of two: northwestern and southeastern zones that varied distinctively in their hydrodynamic and hydrochemical characteristics.
The northwestern zone showed an average water level decline of 15 m, the water of which is brackish (av. 2,037 mg/l) with dominant Na+, Cl− and SO4
2− ions. The groundwater of this zone is characterized by high to very high salinity hazard and high to very high alkali hazard
and is not recommended for irrigation on soils with poor drainage and without proper management for salinity control. The
southeastern zone showed water level decline less than 2 m, the water of which is fresh (av. 424 mg/l) with major Na+, HCO3
−, Cl−, and SO4
2− ions, and quality suitable for irrigation with medium to high salinity and low to medium alkali hazards. The article represents
the first step towards an integrated management of Wadi El-Natrun groundwater resources within a GIS framework. 相似文献

Hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater in the Zhangye Basin, Northwestern China 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The Zhangye Basin, located in arid northwest China, is an important agricultural and industrial center. In recent years rapid
development has created an increased demand for water, which is increasingly being fulfilled by groundwater abstraction. Detailed
knowledge of the geochemical evolution of groundwater and water quality can enhance understanding of the hydrochemical system,
promoting sustainable development and effective management of groundwater resources. To this end, a hydrochemical investigation
was conducted in the Zhangye Basin. Types of shallow groundwater in the Zhangye Basin were found to be HCO3
−, HCO3
−–SO4
2−, SO4
2−–HCO3
−, SO4
2−–Cl−, Cl−–SO4
2− and Cl− . The deep aquifer groundwater type was found to be HCO3−–SO42− throughout the entire area. Ionic ratio and saturation index calculations suggest that silicate rock weathering and evaporation
deposition are the main processes that determine the ionic composition in the study area. The suitability of the groundwater
for irrigation was assessed based on the US Salinity Laboratory salinity classification and the Wilcox diagram. In the study
area, the compositions of the stable isotopes δ18O and δD in groundwater samples were found to range from −4.00 to −9.28‰ and from −34.0 to −65.0‰, respectively. These values
indicate that precipitation is the main recharge source for the groundwater system; some local values indicate high levels
of evaporation. Tritium analysis was used to estimate the ages of the different groundwaters; the tritium values of the groundwater
samples varied from 3.13 to 36.62 TU. The age of the groundwater at depths of less than 30 m is about 5–10 years. The age
of the groundwater at depths of 30–50 m is about 10–23 years. The age of the groundwater at depths of 50–100 m is about 12–29 years.
For groundwater samples at depths of greater than 100 m, the renewal time is about 40 years. 相似文献

Hydrochemical investigations in the Kalambaina Formation have been initiated to determine potability and suitability of the shallow groundwater for domestic and agricultural uses. This limestone formation is an extensive aquifer supplying water to livestock and domestic wells in its outcrop areas. The aquifer is recharged by rainfall and discharges mainly into the Sokoto–Rima River system and lakes at Kware, Gwadabawa and Kalmalo in Nigeria. Because recharge to the aquifer is mainly from rainfall, the quality of the groundwater is controlled essentially by chemical processes in the vadose zone and locally by human activities. Water samples were taken at 11 sites comprising boreholes, dug wells and a spring and were chemically analysed for their major ion components. Hydrochemical results show water of fairly good quality. It is, however, hard and generally of moderate dissolved solids content. Concentration of the total dissolved solids is between 130 and 2,340 mg/l. Concentrations of ions vary widely but a high concentration of K+ is found in places. NO3− is on the higher side of the World Health Organization (WHO) permissible limits, indicating pollution in such areas. Groundwater chemistry is predominantly of two facies, namely the calcium–magnesium–bicarbonate and calcium–magnesium–sulphate–chloride facies. These facies probably evolved primarily as a result of dissolution of calcium and magnesium carbonates as well as some human/land-use activities. 相似文献

The Guadalupe Valley aquifer is the only water source for one of the most important wine industries in Mexico, and also the main public water supply for the nearby city of Ensenada. This groundwater is monitored for major ion, N-NO3, P-PO4, Fe, As, Se, Mo, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn and Sb concentrations, as well as TDS, pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature. High concentrations of N-NO3 (26 mg l−1), Se (70 μg l−1), Mo (18 μg l−1) and Cu (4.3 μg l−1) suggest that groundwater is being polluted by the use of fertilizers only in the western section of the aquifer, known as El Porvenir graben. Unlike the sites located near the main recharge area to the East of the aquifer, the water in El Porvenir graben has low tritium concentrations (<1.9 TU), indicating a pre-modern age, and thus longer water residence time. No significant variations in water quality (generally <10%) were detected throughout 2001–2002 in the aquifer, suggesting that reduced rainfall and recharge during this dry period did not significantly affect water quality. However, the wells nearest to the main recharge area in the Eastern aquifer show a slight but constant increase in TDS with time, probably as a result of the high (∼200 L S−1) uninterrupted extraction of water at this specific recharge site. Relatively high As concentrations for the aquifer (10.5 μg l−1) are only found near the northern limit of the basin associated with a geological fault. 相似文献

Geochemical study of arsenic and other trace elements in groundwater and sediments of the Old Brahmaputra River Plain,Bangladesh 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

The geochemical study of groundwaters and core sediments from the Old Brahmaputra plain of Bangladesh was conducted to investigate
the distribution of arsenic and related trace elements. Groundwaters from tube wells are characterized by pH of 6.4–7.4, dissolved
oxygen (DO) of 0.8–1.8 mg/l, Ca contents of 5–50 mg/l, and Fe contents of 0.2–12.9 mg/l. Arsenic concentrations ranged from
8 to 251 μg/l, with an average value of 63 μg/l. A strong positive correlation exists between As and Fe (r
2 = 0.802; p = 0.001) concentrations in groundwater. The stratigraphic sequences in the cores consist of yellowish silty clays at top,
passing downward into grayish to yellowish clays and sands. The uppermost 3 m and lower parts (from 13 to 31 m) of the core
sediments are oxidized (average oxidation reduction potential (ORP) +170 and +220 mV, respectively), and the ORP values gradually
become negative from 3 to 13 m depths (−35 to −180 mV), indicating that anoxic conditions prevail in the shallow aquifers
of the Brahmaputra plain. Age determinations suggest that clay horizons at ~10 m depth were deposited at around 2,000 and
5,000 years BP (14C ages) during the transgressive phase of sea-level change. Elevated concentrations of As, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, and V are present
in the silts and clays, probably due to adsorption onto clay particles. Significant concentrations of As occur in black peat
and peaty sediments at depths between 9 and 13 m. A strong positive correlation between As and Fe was found in the sediments,
indicating As may be adsorbed onto Fe oxides in aquifer sediments. 相似文献

Venice Lagoon, Italy, rests on a series of aquifers that are 1,000 m thick. Measurements of submarine groundwater discharge
(SGD) were made in Venice Lagoon using benthic chambers vented to a plastic collection bag. Two hundred measurements taken
in a pristine northern lagoon site (Isola la Cura) revealed flow rates as high as 200 cm d−1 with an average of 30 cm d−1. Over 100 measurements taken adjacent to a bulkhead shoreline in the Porto Marghera industrial zone (Fusina) showed flow
rates as high as 30 cm d−1 and averaging 6 cm d−1. These flow rates, if representative of even a fraction of the lagoon floor, are easily able to account for the 15% deficit
previously calculated between precipitation and runoff for the entire Venice Lagoon drainage basin. Land elevation surrounding
the Venice Lagoon is < 10 m within 20 km of the shoreline and is unable to support any substantial onshore water table. Submarine
groundwater discharge most likely represents upward artesian discharge from deeper partially confined aquifers. Over 60 samples
were collected in total from both sites for nutrient analysis. Ammonium concentration was found to be 2–8 fold higher in the
device water than in the lagoon water at the northern site depending on season, and 10–30 times higher at the industrial zone
site. These numbers suggest that SGD may be the primary pathway for nutrients and perhaps other contaminants to enter Venice
Lagoon. 相似文献

Influence of hydrogeochemical processes on temporal changes in groundwater quality in a part of Nalgonda district, Andhra Pradesh, India 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1
Geochemical processes that take place in the aquifer have played a major role in spatial and temporal variations of groundwater
quality. This study was carried out with an objective of identifying the hydrogeochemical processes that controls the groundwater
quality in a weathered hard rock aquifer in a part of Nalgonda district, Andhra Pradesh, India. Groundwater samples were collected
from 45 wells once every 2 months from March 2008 to September 2009. Chemical parameters of groundwater such as groundwater
level, EC and pH were measured insitu. The major ion concentrations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cl−, and SO4
2− were analyzed using ion chromatograph. CO3
− and HCO3
− concentration was determined by acid–base titration. The abundance of major cation concentration in groundwater is as Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+ while that of anions is HCO3
− > SO4
2− > Cl− > CO3
−. Ca–HCO3, Na–Cl, Ca–Na–HCO3 and Ca–Mg–Cl are the dominant groundwater types in this area. Relation between temporal variation in groundwater level and
saturation index of minerals reveals the evaporation process. The ion-exchange process controls the concentration of ions
such as calcium, magnesium and sodium. The ionic ratio of Ca/Mg explains the contribution of calcite and dolomite to groundwater.
In general, the geochemical processes and temporal variation of groundwater in this area are influenced by evaporation processes,
ion exchange and dissolution of minerals. 相似文献

Industrial wastewater is characterised by the presence of a great quantity of metallic micro-pollutants, among which chromium
by its mobility, contaminates the surface and groundwater. The study of different aquifers within the area of Annaba (Algeria)
shows extremely variable chromium concentrations in the unconfined aquifer (0–0.22 mg l−1), which becomes practically null in dry period; on the other hand, they remain relatively constant in the deep confined aquifer
(about 0.04 mg l−1). To specify the mechanisms of chromium migration in the aquifer system, a study of space–time evolution of chromium concentrations
in unconfined aquifer was undertaken, while considering the kinetics of diffusion in the deeper aquifer. Chromium, indirectly
reduced microbiologically by sulphate-reducer bacteria in the upper aquifer, is likely to anticipate the auto-depuration capacity
of the ground and to reduce the quality of groundwater. 相似文献

Groundwater salinization processes in shallow coastal aquifer of Djeffara plain of Medenine, Southeastern Tunisia 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

Urban and industrial development and the expansion of irrigated agriculture have led to a drastic increase in the exploitation
of groundwater resources. The over-exploitation of coastal aquifers has caused a seawater intrusion and has seriously degraded
groundwater quality. The shallow coastal aquifer of the Djeffara plain, southeastern Tunisia constitutes an example of water
resource suffering an intensive and uncontrolled pumping for irrigation. Intensive exploitation of the aquifer and climate
aridity caused a decrease in piezometric level and an increase in salinity. According to the hydrochemical data (Cl−, SO4
2−, NO3
−, HCO3
−, Br−, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+) and the stable isotope composition (oxygen-18 and deuterium content), groundwater salinization in the investigated system
is caused by three main processes: (i) salts dissolution especially in the central part of Jerba and around Medenine plain;
(ii) evaporation process; and (iii) seawater intrusion which caused the increase in salinity in the peninsula of El Jorf,
in Jerba and in the North of Ben Gardane. 相似文献

Groundwater in Sfax City (Tunisia) has been known since the beginning of the century for its deterioration in quality, as
a result of wastewater recharge into the aquifer. An average value of 12 × 106 m3 of untreated wastewater reaches the groundwater aquifer each year. This would result not only in a chemical and biological
contamination of the groundwater, but also in an increase of the aquifer piezometric level. Quantitative impacts were evaluated
by examining the groundwater piezometric level at 57 surface wells and piezometers. The survey showed that, during the last
two decades, the groundwater level was ever increasing in the urban area with values reaching 7 m in part; and decreasing
in Sidi Abid (agricultural area) with values exceeding −3 m. Groundwater samples for chemical and microbial analysis were
collected from 41 wells spread throughout the study area. Results showed significantly elevated levels of sodium, chlorides,
nitrates and coliform bacteria all over the urban area. High levels (NO3: 56–254 mg/l; Na >1,500 mg/l; Coliforms >30/100 ml) can be related to more densely populated areas with a higher density
of pit latrine and recharge wells. Alternatively results showed a very variable chemical composition of groundwater, e.g.
electrical conductivity ranges from 4,040 to19,620 μs/cm and the dry residual varies between 1.4 and 14 g/l with concentrations
increasing downstream. Furthermore a softening of groundwater in Set Ezzit (highly populated sector) was observed. 相似文献

Present study is an effort to distinguish between the contributions of natural weathering and anthropogenic inputs towards
high salinity and nutrient concentrations in the groundwater of National Capital Territory (NCT) Delhi, India. Apart from
the source identification, the aquifer of entire territory has been characterized and mapped on the basis of salinity in space
and water suitability with its depth. Major element chemistry, conventional graphical plots and specific ionic ratio of Na+/Cl−, SO4
2−/Cl−, Mg2+/Ca2+ and Ca2+/(HCO3
− + SO4
2−) are conjointly used to distinguish different salinization sources. Results suggest that leaching from the various unlined
landfill sites and drains is the prime cause of NO3
− contamination while study area is highly affected with inland salinity which is geogenic in origin. The seasonal water level
fluctuation and rising water level increases nutrients concentration in groundwater. Mixing with old saline sub-surface groundwater
and dissolution of surface salts in the salt affected soil areas were identified as the principle processes controlling groundwater
salinity through comparison of ionic ratio. Only minor increase of salinity is the result of evaporation effect and pollution
inflows. The entire territory has characterized into four groups as fresh, freshening, near freshening and saline with respect
to salinity in groundwater. The salinity mapping suggests that in general, for drinking needs, groundwater in the fresh, freshening
and near freshening zone is suitable up to a depth of 45, 20 and 12 m, respectively, while the saline zones are unsuitable
for any domestic use. In the consideration of increasing demand of drinking water in the area; present study is vital and
recommends further isotopic investigations and highlights the need of immediate management action for landfill sites and unlined
drains. 相似文献

An integrated study has been carried out to elucidate the distribution and occurrence of arsenic in selected groundwater samples
in the area of Sherajdikhan, Bangladesh. Arsenic and other parameters (T, pH, EC, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl−, NO3
−, SO4
2−, HCO3
−, PO4
3−, Fe, Mn and DOC) have been measured in groundwater samples collected from shallow/deep tube wells at different depths. Hydrogeochemical
data suggest that the groundwaters are generally Ca–Mg–HCO3 and Mg–Ca–HCO3 types with bicarbonate (HCO3
−) as the dominant anion, though the other type of water has also been observed. Dissolved arsenic in groundwater ranged from
0.006 to 0.461 mg/l, with 69% groundwater samples exceeded the Bangladesh limit for safe drinking water (0.05 mg/l). Correlation
and principal component analysis have been performed to find out possible relationships among the examined parameters in groundwater.
Low concentrations of NO3
− and SO4
2−, and high concentrations of DOC, HCO3
− and PO4
3− indicate the reducing condition of subsurface aquifer where sediments are deposited with abundant organic matter. Distinct
relationship of As with Fe and Mn, and strong correlation with DOC suggests that the biodegradation of organic matter along
with reductive dissolution of Fe–Mn oxyhydroxides has being considered the dominant process to release As in the aquifers

Recharge source and hydrogeochemical evolution of shallow groundwater in a complex alluvial fan system,southwest of North China Plain 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Fadong Li Guoying Pan Changyuan Tang Qiuying Zhang Jingjie Yu 《Environmental Geology》2008,55(5):1109-1122
Many cities around the world are developed at alluvial fans. With economic and industrial development and increase in population,
quality and quantity of groundwater are often damaged by over-exploitation in these areas. In order to realistically assess
these groundwater resources and their sustainability, it is vital to understand the recharge sources and hydrogeochemical
evolution of groundwater in alluvial fans. In March 2006, groundwater and surface water were sampled for major element analysis
and stable isotope (oxygen-18 and deuterium) compositions in Xinxiang, which is located at a complex alluvial fan system composed
of a mountainous area, Taihang Mt. alluvial fan and Yellow River alluvial fan. In the Taihang mountainous area, the groundwater
was recharged by precipitation and was characterized by Ca–HCO3 type water with depleted δ18O and δD (mean value of −8.8‰ δ18O). Along the flow path from the mountainous area to Taihang Mt. alluvial fan, the groundwater became geochemically complex
(Ca–Na–Mg–HCO3–Cl–SO4 type), and heavier δ18O and δD were observed (around −8‰ δ18O). Before the surface water with mean δ18O of −8.7‰ recharged to groundwater, it underwent isotopic enrichment in Taihang Mt. alluvial fan. Chemical mixture and ion
exchange are expected to be responsible for the chemical evolution of groundwater in Yellow River alluvial fan. Transferred
water from the Yellow River is the main source of the groundwater in the Yellow River alluvial fan in the south of the study
area, and stable isotopic compositions of the groundwater (mean value of −8.8‰ δ18O) were similar to those of transferred water (−8.9‰), increasing from the southern boundary of the study area to the distal
end of the fan. The groundwater underwent chemical evolution from Ca–HCO3, Na–HCO3, to Na–SO4. A conceptual model, integrating stiff diagrams, is used to describe the spatial variation of recharge sources, chemical
evolution, and groundwater flow paths in the complex alluvial fan aquifer system. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine the possible natural sources of fluorides and boron in Silurian–Ordovician (S–O)
aquifer system, as the anomaly of these elements has been distinguished in groundwater of western Estonia. Water–rock interactions,
such as dissolution and leaching of the host rock, are considered to be the main source of high fluoride and boron concentrations
in groundwater. Altogether 91 rock samples were analysed to determine if high F− and B levels in groundwater could be attributed to certain aquifer forming rock types. Fluorine and boron contents in limestones
and dolomites vary from 100 to 500 mg/kg and 5 to 20 mg/kg, reaching up to 1,000 and 150 mg/kg in marlstones, respectively.
K-bentonites, altered volcanic ash beds, are rich in fluorine (400–4,500 mg/kg) and boron (50–1,000 mg/kg). Thus, clay-rich
sediments, providing ion-exchange and adsorption sites for F− and B, are the probable sources of both elements in S–O aquifer system in western Estonia. 相似文献

Geologic framework and isotope tracing of the arsenious Quaternary Aquifer of the southwestern North Bengal Plain,West Bengal,India 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
The aim of the paper is to understand the geological control of groundwater, the recharge sources, the relative age of groundwater
and the interaction between surface water and groundwater of the southwestern part of North Bengal Plain in the alluvium filled
gap between the Rajmahal hills on the west and the Garo hills on the east. The area is covered by Quaternary alluvia of two
different ages, viz. the Older Alluvium and the Newer Alluvium. The Older Alluvium of Pleistocene age is made up of argillaceous
bed reddish brown in color and interspread with ‘kankar’ and laterite debris and the Newer Alluvium is dark, loosely compacted
and has a high moisture content. A hydrostarigraphic model of the top 120 m geological column has been built by direct field
observation, constructing Fence diagram, lithofacies and isotope analyses. The model indicates an oscillating environment
of deposition of sediments from bottom to top with oxidizing at the bottom followed by reducing and then oxidizing environment
at the top. The hydrogeochemistry of groundwater also suggests a predominantly reducing condition of the aquifer with high
HCO3
−, low SO4
2− and NO3
− concentrations. The shallow groundwater at places contains heavy metals such as copper, cadmium, manganese, iron, chromium
and arsenic. The δ18O and tritium values of groundwater are within the range of monsoon precipitation composition which indicates that groundwater
is probably recharged primarily from precipitation. The plots of δ18O and δD show slight deviation from the Local Mean Water Lines suggesting that some evaporation of rainfall occurs prior to
or during infiltration. Therefore groundwater occurs under unconfined condition. Lithofacies analysis indicates that the sediments
below the depth of 40 m are the potential water bearing formation. Depletion or enrichment of δ18O and δD with depth was not observed and tritium content is also similar at various depths indicating possibility of mixing
of groundwater from various depths due to pumping which may lead to contamination of the deeper aquifer by heavy metals and
arsenic. 相似文献
