Fluoride,nitrate and water hardness in groundwater supplied to the rural communities of Ensenada County,Baja California,Mexico 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
L. W. Daesslé L. Ruiz-Montoya H. J. Tobschall R. Chandrajith V. F. Camacho-Ibar L. G. Mendoza-Espinosa A. L. Quintanilla-Montoya K. C. Lugo-Ibarra 《Environmental Geology》2009,58(2):419-429
The hydrogeochemistry of 26 wells belonging to ten different aquifers in the county of Ensenada, Baja California, is studied.
These wells are all used to supply the rural communities in the region, which comprise ~37,000 inhabitants, excluding the
city of Ensenada. High total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations (maximum 7.35 g l−1) indicate that salt is a ubiquitous contaminant in the aquifers due to seawater intrusion. The aquifers that support extensive
agriculture activities (Maneadero, San Quintín, San Simón and El Rosario) are characterized by higher N–NO3 concentrations (maximum 20 mg l−1) derived from fertilizers. Fluoride concentrations exceed the 1.5 mg l−1 Mexican official limit in only four wells. The enrichments of F− in the southern aquifers are thought to be associated to water–rock interactions controlled mainly by Na–Ca equilibrium reactions
with fluorite, as suggested from high dissolved Na concentrations in these waters. In the northern aquifer of Maneadero, no
enrichment of Na is found and a geothermal source for F− is likely. Water is hard to moderately hard, with Ca/Mg ratios >1. Although drinking water directly from the tap is not a
common practice in these localities, most sources have concentrations of major ions and TDS that exceed the Mexican official
limits. 相似文献

Origin and distribution of saline groundwaters in the upper Miocene aquifer system, coastal Rhodope area, northeastern Greece 总被引:6,自引:3,他引:3
This paper describes the origins and distribution of saline groundwaters in the coastal area of Rhodope, Greece. The aquifer
system includes two aquifers within coarse-grained alluvial sediments in the coastal part of the study area. Two major water-quality
groups occur in the study area, namely Ca2+-rich saline groundwater and Ca2+-poor, almost fresh groundwater. The main process controlling the groundwater chemistry is the exchange of calcium and sodium
between the aquifer matrix and intruding seawater. The natural salt water in the study area is probably residual water that
infiltrated the aquifer system during repeated marine transgressions in late Pleistocene time. Seawater intrusion into the
coastal aquifer system occurs as a result of overpumping in two seawater wedges separated vertically by a low-permeability
layer. The rate of intrusion averages 0.8 m/d and is less than expected due to a decline of the aquifer's permeability at
the interface with the seawater. The application of several hydrochemical techniques (Piper and Durov diagrams; Na+/Cl–, Ca2+/Cl–, Mg2+/Cl–, and Br–/Cl– molar ratios; Ca2+/Mg2+ weight ratio; and chloride concentrations), combined with field observations, may lead to a better explanation of the origin
of the saline groundwater.

National scale evaluation of groundwater chemistry in Korea coastal aquifers: evidences of seawater intrusion 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Youngyun Park Jin-Yong Lee Jeong-Hee Kim Sung-Ho Song 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2012,66(3):707-718
Pollution of groundwater by seawater intrusion poses a threat to sustainable agriculture in the coastal areas of Korea. Therefore, seawater intrusion monitoring stations were installed in eastern, western, and southern coastal areas and have been operated since 1998. In this study, groundwater chemistry data obtained from the seawater intrusion monitoring stations during the period from 2007 to 2009 were analyzed and evaluated. Groundwater was classified into fresh (<1,500 μS/cm), brackish (1,500–3,000 μS/cm), and saline (>3,000 μS/cm) according to EC levels. Among groundwater samples (n = 233), 56, 7, and 37% were classified as the fresh, brackish, and saline, respectively. The major dissolved components of the brackish and saline groundwaters were enriched compared with those of the fresh groundwater. The enrichment of Na+ and Cl− was especially noticeable due to seawater intrusion. Thus, the brackish and saline groundwaters were classified as Ca–Cl and Na–Cl types, while the fresh groundwater was classified as Na–HCO3 and Ca–HCO3 types. The groundwater included in the Na–Cl types indicated the effects of seawater mixing. Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, SO4 2−, and Br− showed good correlations with Cl− of over r = 0.624. Of these components, the strong correlations of Mg2+, SO4 2−, and Br− with Cl− (r ≥ 0.823) indicated a distinct mixing between fresh groundwater and seawater. The Ca/Cl and HCO3/Cl ratios of the groundwaters gradually decreased and approached those of seawater. The Mg/Cl, Na/Cl, K/Cl, SO4/Cl, and Br/Cl ratios of the groundwaters gradually decreased, and were similar to or lower than those of seawater, indicating that Mg2+, Na+, K+, SO4 2−, and Br−, as well as Cl− in the saline groundwater can be enriched by seawater mixing, while Ca2+ and HCO3 − are mainly released by weathering processes. The influence of seawater intrusion was evaluated using threshold values of Cl− and Br−, which were estimated as 80.5 and 0.54 mg/L, respectively. According to these criteria, 41–50% of the groundwaters were affected by seawater mixing. 相似文献

The dissolved fluoride (F−) in the Lower Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) river system, Bengal basin, Bangladesh, was studied during 1991–1993 to determine
its distribution and source in the basin, and its annual flux to the Bay of Bengal. The concentration of dissolved F− varied between 2 and 11 μmol l−1 with statistically significant variations both spatially and temporally in the basin. Such variations are attributable to
the geology of the individual subbasins (Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna), dilution by rainwater during monsoon and groundwater
contribution to the river systems during dry season. Correlation coefficients among F− and major cations and anions suggest diverse inorganic processes responsible for regulating the concentration of F− in these river systems. However, fluorite seems to be one of the major sources of dissolved F−. The concentration of F− in the Lower GBM river system is low compared to the rivers draining Deccan Plateau and arid regions of the subcontinent,
for example, Yamuna and its tributaries. However, it is within the range of most of the other Peninsular and Himalayan rivers.
The GBM system contributes about 115×103 tonnes year−1 of dissolved F− into the Bay of Bengal, and thus accounts for about 3% of the global F− flux to the oceans annually.

Drinking water quality in villages of southwestern Haryana,India: assessing human health risks associated with hydrochemistry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Vinod K. Garg Surindra Suthar Sushma Singh Aleenjeet Sheoran Garima Meenakshi Sandeep Jain 《Environmental Geology》2009,58(6):1329-1340
The chemical quality of groundwater of western Haryana, India was assessed for its suitability for drinking purposes. A total
of 275 water samples were collected from deep aquifer based hand-pumps situated in 37 different villages/towns of Bhiwani
region. The water samples were analyzed for different physico-chemical properties, e.g., pH, total dissolved solids (TDS),
total harness (TH), total alkalinity (TA), calcium, magnesium, carbonate, bicarbonate, sulphate, chloride and fluoride concentrations.
In this study, the average TDS content was greater ranging 1,692 (Bhiwani block) to 2,560 mg l−1 (Siwani block), and other important parameters of water, e.g., TA (442–1,232 mg l−1), TH (437–864 mg l−1) and bicarbonate (554–672 mg l−1), were also higher than maximum permissible limit by WHO or BIS. The fluoride appeared as a major problem of safe drinking
water in this region. We recorded greater fluoride concentration, i.e., 86.0 mg l−1 from Motipura village that is highest fluoride level ever recorded for Haryana state. The average fluoride concentration ranged between
7.1 and 0.8 mg l−1 in different blocks of western Haryana. On the basis of fluoride concentration, Siwani block showed the maximum number of water samples (84% of total collected samples) unsuitable for drinking purposes (containing
fluoride >1.5 mg l−1) followed by Charki Dadri block (58%), Bhiwani block (52%), Bawani Khera block (33%) and Loharu block (14%). This study clearly suggest that some health deteriorating chemicals in drinking water were at dangerous level and;
therefore, water quality could be a major health threat for local residents of western Haryana. The high fluoride level in
drinking water has posed some serious dental health risks in local residents. 相似文献

Nitrate pollution of groundwater in Toyserkan,western Iran 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
Mohsen Jalali 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2011,62(5):907-913
A total of 95 groundwater samples were collected from Toyserkan, western Iran to assess the chemical composition and nitrate
(NO3
−) status of groundwater. The most prevalent water type is Ca–HCO3 followed by water types Ca–Mg–HCO3. In comparison with the World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water guideline of 50 mg l−1 for NO3
−, a total of nine wells (9.5%) showed higher concentrations. In 36% of samples (34) NO3
− concentration was low (<20 mg l−1), and in 53.7% of samples (51), in the range of 20–50 mg l−1. The samples were classified into four groups based on NO3
− and chloride (Cl−) concentrations. Of the samples, 40% were classified as group 4 and were relatively high in Cl− and NO3
− (Cl− > 47 mg l−1, NO3
− > 27 mg l−1). The high correlation between NO3
− and Cl− (r = 0.86, p < 0.01) is consistent with a manure source, resulting from the practice of adding salt to animal feed. Pollution of groundwaters
appeared to be affected by the application of inorganic fertilizer at greater than agronomic rates, Cl-salt inputs, and irrigation
practice. 相似文献

The Alto Guadalentín detrital aquifer is both overexploited and polluted. Water conductivity ranges between 1200 and 4900
μS cm–1, HCO3
– between 1000 and 1990 mg l–1, and PCO2 between 0.041 and 1.497 bars. The temperature and chemical composition of the water show a positive thermal anomaly directly
attributable to the neotectonic activity in the area. The high CO2 content has caused the abandonment of numerous wells due to water corrosiveness which attacks pumping equipment.

Twenty-six groundwater samples were collected from the Eastern Thessaly region and analysed by ICP-ES for these elements: Al, As, P, Pb, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cr, Sb, Cu, Na, Br, Cl, Si, Mg, Ag, Be, Bi, Dy, Er, Eu, Au, Ge, Ho, In, Ir, Os, Pt, Re, Rh, Ru, Lu, Hf, Hg, Tm, Zr and Nb. The objectives of the study were to assess the level of water contamination with respect to the EC and the USEPA health-based drinking water criteria. The geology of the studied area includes schists, amphibolites, marbles of Palaeozoic age, ophiolites, limestones of Triassic and Cretaceous age, Neogene and Quaternary deposits. The element ranges for groundwater samples are: Al 7–56 μg l−1, As 1–125 μg l−1, Br 6–60 μg l−1, Cl 500–25,000 μg l−1, Cr 1–6 μg l−1, Cu 1–15 μg l−1, Fe 10–352 μg l−1, Mg 2,940–40,100 μg l−1, Mn 0–8 μg l−1, Na 3,650–13,740 μg l−1, P 20–48 μg l−1, Pb 0–7 μg l−1, Sb 0–21 μg l−1, Si 3,310–13,240 μg l−1 and Zn 7–994 μg l−1. The results of groundwater analyses from the region of Eastern Thessaly showed elevated concentrations of As and Sb. Factor analysis explained 77.8% of the total variance of the data through five factors. Concentration of Br, Cl, Mg, Na and Si is directly related to the presence of saltwater in the aquifer, so grouping of these variables in factor 1 probably reflects the seawater intrusion. Al, As and Sb are known to form complexes in the environment, so grouping of these elements in factor 2 indicates their similar geochemical behaviour in the environment. The high negative loading of Mn in factor 2 indicates the presence of manganese oxides–hydroxides in the study area. Pb and Zn are associated together in sulphide mineralisation; so grouping of these elements in factor 3 reflects the sulphide mineralization paragenesis in the Melivoia area. P and Cu are associated together in phosphate fertilizers; so grouping of these variables in factor 4 could be related to agricultural practices. Cr, Fe, Mn and Mg are associated together in iron and manganese oxides–hydroxides and the weathering products of the olivine of the ultrabasic rocks; so grouping of these elements in factor 5 reflects the lithology of the area. There is a natural contamination of groundwaters with elevated concentrations of As and Sb due to the presence of the arsenopyrite and stibnite mineralisation in the Melivoia, Sotiritsa and Ano Polydendri areas. Contamination over the health-based drinking water guidelines given by EC and EPA has been investigated from nine sampling sites out of 26 of Eastern Thessaly region. 相似文献

Nitrate contamination of groundwater in an agroecosystem in Zhangye Oasis,Northwest China 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
In order to assess the extent of groundwater contamination by nitrate (NO3
−–N) and to provide information about the deterioration of the groundwater quality in Zhangye Oasis, Northwest China, a study
was conducted in this area. The mean value of NO3
−–N concentrations in groundwater samples was 10.66 ± 0.19 mg l−1. NO3
−–N concentrations exceeding 10 mg l−1 (the threshold for drinking water set by the World Health Organization) were found in 32.4% of 71 wells, and were 13, 33.3,
52.4 and 50.0% in the groundwater samples from drinking wells, irrigation wells, hand-pumping wells and groundwater table
observation wells, respectively. The result showed that the groundwater samples that had NO3
−–N concentrations exceeding the threshold for drinking water were mostly collected from a depth of less than 20 m. Groundwater
NO3
−–N concentrations in areas used for the cultivation of vegetables, seed maize and intercropped maize were significantly higher
than those in urban or paddy areas. NO3
−–N contamination of groundwater in areas with sandy soil was more severe than in those with loam soil. 相似文献

Hydrogeologic data of 455 water wells comprising geologic logs, water qualities, and aquifer test results are analyzed to
determine hydrogeological characteristics, water quality, and sustainable yield of the groundwater resources of Cheju volcanic
island. The groundwater of the island occurs in unconsolidated pyroclastic deposits and clinkers interbedded in highly jointed
basaltic and andesitic rocks as high-level, basal, and parabasal groundwater under unconfined conditions. The total storage
of groundwater is estimated at about 44 billion m3. The average transmissivity and specific yield of the aquifer are at about 0.34 m2 s–1(29300 m2 day–1) and 0.12, respectively. The average annual precipitation is about 3.39 billion m3, of which 1.49 billion m3– equivalent to 44.0% of the total annual precipitation – is recharged into aquifers, with 0.638 billion m3 year–1 of runoff and 1.26 billion m3 year–1 of evapotranspiration. Based on a groundwater budget analysis, the sustainable yield is estimated at about 0.62 billion m3 year–1, equivalent to 41.6% of annual recharge. A low-permeability marine sedimentary formation (Sehwari formation), composed of
loosely cemented sandy silt, was recently found to be situated at 120±68 m below mean sea level. If the said marine sediment
is distributed as a basal formation of the freshwater zone of the island, most of its groundwater will be of parabasal type.
So the marine sediment is one of the most important hydrogeological boundaries and groundwater occurrences in the area.

Simulation of seawater intrusion into the Khan Yunis area of the Gaza Strip coastal aquifer 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1
The Gaza Strip coastal aquifer is under severe hydrological stress due to over-exploitation. Excessive pumping during the
past decades in the Gaza region has caused a significant lowering of groundwater levels, altering in some regions the normal
transport of salts into the sea and reversing the gradient of groundwater flow. The sharp increase in chloride concentrations
in groundwater indicates intrusion of seawater and/or brines from the western part of the aquifer near the sea.
Simulations of salt-water intrusion were carried out using a two-dimensional density-dependent flow and transport model SUTRA
(Voss 1984). This model was applied to the Khan Yunis section of the Gaza Strip aquifer. Simulations were done under an assumption
that pumping rates increase according to the rate of population growth, or about 3.8% a year. Model parameters were estimated
using available field observations. Numerical simulations show that the rate of seawater intrusion during 1997–2006 is expected
to be 20–45 m/yr. The results lead to a better understanding of aquifer salinization due to seawater intrusion and give some
estimate of the rate of deterioration of groundwater.

The groundwater B concentration in Mesozoic karst, Neogene and alluvial aquifers in the West part of Chalkidiki province in Central Macedonia, Greece reaches 6.45 mg L−1, which exceeds the limit of 1 mg L−1, set by the European Union for drinking water. The high B contents have been detected in this area, not only near the shoreline, where seawater intrusion occurs, but also in the inland part of the basin. Multi isotope (2H, 18O, 34S, 18O(SO4), 11B, 87Sr/86Sr) data from borehole and thermal water springs allow identification of the possible B sources. The B dissolved in groundwater in the Chalkidiki area is mainly geogenic. The low δ11B values, 0–1‰, similar to those of thermal fluids from continental geothermal fields, and the low Cl/B ratio compared to seawater both indicate a geothermal origin for B and reflect deep circulation and interaction with igneous rocks. The 87Sr/86Sr ratio also indicates that the deep-aquifer granodiorite is the predominant rock source of Sr, while the shallow limestone unit has negligible effects on the dissolved Sr budget in these thermal karst waters which O and H isotopes show to be of meteoric origin. The main source of high B in borehole water is mainly mixing with B-rich geothermal water. The mixing between geothermal water and water from the Neogene aquifer is also reflected by isotopic contents of SO4. 相似文献

Hydraulic changes caused by tunneling at the Aspo Hard Rock Laboratory (HRL) in Sweden have been investigated over a period of 2a using different hydrochemical approaches, i.e. noble gas content, isotopic measurements and major ion concentrations. The dissolved noble gases (4He and Ne contents, and the ratio of 3He/4He, 40Ar/36Ar), stable isotopes, chemical concentrations of major ions, and 36Cl/Cl ratios, were determined in groundwater samples collected in the tunnel from borehole sections isolated by inflated packers. Groundwater was categorized into 3 groups based on 4He and Cl− contents: undisturbed groundwater (i.e. prior to tunnel construction) with high 4He and Cl− contents, groundwater that has been gradually changed by mixing with Baltic seawater and whose 4He and Cl− contents have gradually increased with increasing depth, and groundwater that has been totally changed due to a rapid mixing of Baltic seawater and/or shallow groundwater and whose 4He and Cl− contents are extremely low compared with other samples collected at the same surrounding depth. The oldest groundwater with a high salinity of more than 14,000 mg l−1 of Cl− is estimated to be more than 1.8 Ma old. The groundwater residence time ranges from 0.9 to 900 Ka in the mixing-zone. Groundwater in the disturbed zone where rapid mixing has occurred is hard to date reliably and its primary hydrochemical character has already been lost. 相似文献

The Yellow River (Huanghe) is the second largest river in China and is known for its high turbidity. It also has remarkably
high levels of dissolved uranium (U) concentrations (up to 38 nmol 1-1). To examine the mixing behavior of dissolved U between river water and seawater, surface water samples were collected along
a salinity gradient from the Yellow River plume during September 2004 and were measured for dissolved U concentration,234U:238U activity ratio, phosphate (PO4
3–), and suspended particulate matter. Laboratory experiments were also conducted to simulate the mixing process in the Yellow
River plume using unfiltered Yellow River water and filtered seawater. The results showed a nonconservative behavior for dissolved
U at salinities < 20 with an addition of U to the plume waters estimated at about 1.4 X 105 mol yr–1. A similarity between variations in dissolved U and PO4
3– with salinity was also found. There are two major mechanisms, desorption from suspended sediments and diffusion from interstitial
waters of bottom sediments, that may cause the elevated concentrations of dissolved U and PO4
3– in mid-salinity waters. Mixing experiments indicate that desorption seems more responsible for the elevated dissolved U concentrations,
whereas diffusion influences more the enrichment of PO4

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

An unusual phytoplankton bloom dominated by unidentified green coloured spherical algal cells (∼5μm diameter) and dinoflagellates
(Heterocapsa, Scripsiella and Gymnodinium) was encountered along the coast of Goa, India during 27 and 29 January, 2005. Pigment analysis was carried out using both
fluorometric and HPLC methods. Seawater samples collected from various depths within the intense bloom area showed high concentrations
of Chl a (up to 106 mg m − 3) associated with low bacterial production (0.31 to 0.52 mg C m − 3 h − 1) and mesozooplankton biomass (0.03 ml m − 3). Pigment analyses of the seawater samples were done using HPLC detected marker pigments corresponding to prasinophytes,
dinoflagellates and diatoms. Chlorophyll b (36–56%) followed by peridinin (15–30%), prasinoxanthin (11–17%) and fucoxanthin (7–15%) were the major diagnostic pigments
while pigments of cryptophytes and cyanobacteria including alloxanthin and zeaxanthin formed <10%. Although microscopic analysis
indicated a decline in the bloom, pheaophytin concentrations in the water column measured by both techniques were very low,
presumably due to fast recycling and/or settling rate. The unique composition of the bloom and its probable causes are discussed
in this paper. 相似文献

A hydrogeochemical survey was conducted on Pico Island (Azores archipelago) in order to evaluate the groundwater chemistry
patterns and the main mineralization processes. Samples were from cold waters and corresponded mainly to sodium chloride type.
Conductivity measurements were ∼82–9790 μS/cm and suggest the existence of highly mineralized waters. In fact, 18% had a conductivity
>5130 μS/cm and the total dissolved solid (TDS) value for two of the wells was from the brackish water range. The changes
in groundwater composition are because of two main processes: (1) silicate mineral dissolution, especially in a few springs
located at high altitude and (2) water salinization in the coastal area, as a result of saltwater intrusion and sea-salt spraying.
The salinization process corresponds to a binary mixing system, as suggested by the chloride and δ18O data, and explains the sharp concentration increase in major and minor species detected in several wells.

Water quality of two streams near Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, following the 1988 Clover-Mist wildfire
In 1988, wildfire burned over 50% of the Jones Creek watershed near Yellowstone Park, Wyoming. Crow Creek, an adjacent watershed,
was unburned. Water quality data collected from 1989–1993 may show the fire's effect on weathering and nutrient transport.
Jones Creek had 25–75% larger concentrations of dissolved solids than Crow Creek during the sampling period. Both streams
revealed molar ratios consistent with the stoichiometry of andesine and pyroxene hydrolysis in the trachyandesites that underlie
the basins. During 1989, nitrate transported from the unburned Crow Creek basin peaked at 2 mmol ha–1 s–1. This was twice as much as Jones Creek, possibly indicating a source from ash fallout. By 1992 these rates diminished to
0.1 mmol ha–1 s–1 in Crow Creek and increased to 1.8 mmol ha–1 s–1 in Jones Creek, suggesting later nitrate mobilization in the burned watershed. Phosphorus transported from Jones Creek basin
averaged 0.011 mmol ha–1 s–1 during summer 1989, but fell to 0.004 mg ha–1 s–1 in subsequent years.

In this study, 92 groundwater samples were collected from the Attica region (Greece). Moreover, geographical information system
database, geochemistry of groundwater samples and statistics were applied. These were used for studying the chemical parameters
(NO3
−, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl−, and Na+) and conductivity spatial distribution and for assessing their environmental impact. The ranges of chemical parameters of
the water samples (in mg L−1) are: NO3
− 1–306, Mg2+ 2–293, Ca2+ 3–453, Cl− 5–1,988, and Na+ 4–475. The elevated concentrations of sodium, Mg2+, Cl− are attributed to natural contamination (seawater intrusion). On the other hand, NO3
− elevated concentrations are attributed to anthropogenic contamination (nitrate fertilizers). The results of the GIS analysis
showed that elevated values of Na+, Mg2+, Cl− are related to shrubby and sparsely vegetated areas, while elevated values of NO3
− are connected with urban and agricultural areas. 相似文献

Evaluation of groundwater quality in coastal areas: implications for sustainable agriculture 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:4
Seawater intrusion is a problem in the coastal areas of Korea. Most productive agricultural fields are in the western and
southern coastal areas of the country where irrigation predominantly relies on groundwater. Seawater intrusion has affected
agricultural productivity. To evaluate progressive encroachment of saline water, the Korean government established a seawater
intrusion monitoring well network, especially in the western and southern part of the peninsula. Automatic water levels and
EC monitoring and periodic chemical analysis of groundwater help track salinization. Salinization of fresh groundwater is
highly associated with groundwater withdrawal. A large proportion of the groundwaters are classified as Na–Cl and Ca–Cl types.
The Na–Cl types represent effects of seawater intrusion. The highest EC level was over 1.6 km inland and high Cl values were
observed up to 1.2 km inland. Lower ratios of Na/Cl and SO4/Cl than seawater values indicate the seawater encroachment. A linear relation between Na and Cl represents simple mixing
of the fresh groundwater with the seawater. The saline Na–Cl typed groundwaters showed Br/Cl ratios similar to or less than
seawater values. The Ca–HCO3 type groundwaters had the highest Br/Cl ratios. Substantial proportions of the groundwaters showed potential for salinity
and should be better managed for sustainable agriculture. 相似文献
