Land subsidence in Tianjin,China 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Yi Lixin Zhang Fang Xu He Chen Shijie Wang Wei Yu Qiang 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2011,62(6):1151-1161
Land subsidence has been affecting Tianjin for the past 50 years. It leads to comprehensive detrimental effects on society,
the economy and natural environment. Overpumping of groundwater is the main cause. In 2008, the maximum cumulative subsidence
reached 3.22 m and the total affected area nearly 8,000 km2. The subsidence reached its most critical state in the early 1980s when it occurred at a rate as high as 110 mm/year. At
the same time, groundwater extraction had also reached a maximum of 1,200 million m3. By importing the Luan River to Tianjin and restricting exploitation of groundwater, hydraulic heads gradually recovered
after 1986 in all aquifers, and this has continued to the present in the second aquifer. The subsidence rate in urban areas
dropped to 10–15 mm/year. The area of groundwater extraction expanded to the suburban area with economic growth in the 1990s,
and it was shifted to the third and fourth aquifers. At present, with a subsidence rate of 30–40 mm/year, four new suburban
subsidence centers have been formed. Several measures were adopted to mitigate and prevent land subsidence disasters. These
included restricting groundwater exploitation, groundwater injection, prohibiting use in the specific zone, a pricing policy
for water resources, advocating water-saving technology, and strict enforcement of groundwater laws. Although the subsidence
area is still increasing slowly, the subsidence rate is being controlled. 相似文献

The degradation of groundwater quality, which has been noted in the recent years, is closely connected to the intensification
of agriculture, the unreasonable use of chemical fertilizers and the excess consumption of large volumes of irrigation water.
In the hilly region of central Thessaly in Greece, which suffers the consequences of intense agricultural use, a hydrogeological
study is carried out, taking groundwater samples from springs and boreholes in the Neogene aquifers. The aim of this study
is the investigation of irrigation management, water quality and suitability for various uses (water supply, irrigation),
the degradation degree and the spatial distribution of pollutants using GIS. The following hydrochemical types prevail in
the groundwater of the study area: Ca–Mg–HCO3, Mg–Ca–Na–HCO3 and Na–HCO3. In the above shallow aquifers, especially high values of NO3
− (31.7–299.0), NH4
+ (0.12–1.11), NO2
− (0.018–0.109), PO4
3− (0.07–0.55), SO4
2− (47.5–146.5) and Cl− (24.8–146.5) are found, particularly near inhabited areas (values are in mg L−1). The water of shallow aquifers is considered unsuitable for human use due to their high polluting load, while the water
of the deeper aquifers is suitable for human consumption. Regarding water suitability for irrigation, the evaluation of SAR
(0.153–7.397) and EC (481–1,680 μS cm−1) resulted in classification category ‘C3S1’, indicating high salinity and low sodium water which can be used for irrigation
in most soils and crops with little to medium danger of development of exchangeable sodium and salinity. The statistical data
analysis, the factor analysis and the GIS application have brought out the vulnerable-problematic zones in chemical compounds
of nitrogen and phosphates. The groundwater quality degradation is localized and related exclusively to human activities.
Based on 2005 and 2008 estimates, the annual safe yield of the region’s aquifers were nearly 41.95 MCM. However, the existing
situation is that 6.37 MCM of water is over extracted from these aquifers. 相似文献

Hydrochemical data are presented for groundwater samples, collected from fractured aquifers in parts of northern Ghana. The
data was collected to assess the groundwater suitability for domestic and agricultural use. Results of the study reveal that
the pH of the groundwater in the area is slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. The electrical conductivity values, total dissolved
solids (TDS) values and calcium, magnesium and sodium concentrations in the groundwater are generally below the limit set
by the WHO for potable water supply. On the basis of activity diagrams, groundwater from the fractured aquifers appears to
be stable within the montmorillonite field, suggesting weathering of silicate minerals. An inverse distance weighting interpolator
with a power of 2 was applied to the data points to produce prediction maps for nitrate and fluoride. The distribution maps
show the presence of high nitrate concentrations (50–194 mg/l) in some of the boreholes in the western part of the study area
indicating anthropogenic impact on the groundwater. Elevated fluoride level (1.5–4 mg/l), higher than the WHO allowable fluoride
concentration of 1.5, is recorded in the groundwater underlying the northeastern part of the study area, more specifically
Bongo and its surrounding communities of the Upper East region. Results of this study suggest that groundwater from the fractured
aquifers in the area exhibit low sodicity–low salinity (S1–C1), low sodicity–medium salinity (S1–C2) characteristics [United
States Salinity Laboratory (USSL) classification scheme]. All data points from this study plot within the ‘Excellent to good’
category on a Wilcox diagram. Groundwater in this area thus appears to provide irrigation water of excellent quality. The
hydrochemical results indicate that, although nitrate and fluoride concentrations in some boreholes are high, the groundwater
in the study area, based on the parameters analyzed, is chemically potable and suitable for domestic and agricultural purposes. 相似文献

The supraregional GIS-supported stochastical model, WEKU, for the determination of groundwater residence times in the upper
aquifers of large groundwater provinces is presented. Using a two-dimensional analytical model of groundwater flow, groundwater
residence times are determined within two extreme cases. In the first case, maximal groundwater residence times are calculated,
representing the part of groundwater, that is drained by the main surface water of a groundwater catchment area. In the second
case, minimal groundwater residence times for drainage into the nearest surface water are determined. Using explicit distribution
functions of the input parameters, mean values as well as potential ranges of variations of the groundwater residence times
are derived. The WEKU model has been used for the determination of groundwater residence times throughout Germany. The model
results – mean values and deviations of the groundwater velocity and the maximal and minimal groundwater residence times in
the upper aquifers – are presented by general maps and discussed in detail. It is shown that the groundwater residence times
in the upper aquifer vary regionally, differentiated between less than 1 year and more than 2000 years. Using this information,
the time scales can be specified, until measures to remediate polluted groundwater resources may lead to a substantial groundwater
quality improvement in the different groundwater provinces of Germany. With respect to its supraregional scale of application,
the WEKU model may serve as a useful tool for the supraregional groundwater management on a state, federal or international
level.

Hydrochemical appraisal of groundwater and its suitability in the intensive agricultural area of Muzaffarnagar district,Uttar Pradesh,India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Muzaffarnagar is an economically rich district situated in the most fertile plains of two great rivers Ganga and Yamuna in
the Indo-gangetic plains, with agricultural land irrigated by both surface water as well as groundwater. An investigation
has been carried out to understand the hydrochemistry of the groundwater and its suitability for irrigation uses. Groundwater
in the study area is neutral to moderately alkaline in nature. Chemistry of groundwater suggests that alkaline earths (Ca + Mg)
significantly exceed the alkalis (Na + K) and weak acids exceed the strong acids (Cl + SO4), suggesting the dominance of carbonate weathering followed by silicate weathering. Majority of the groundwater samples (62%)
posses Ca–Mg–HCO3 type of hydrochemical species, followed by Ca–Na–Mg–HCO3, Na–Ca–Mg–HCO3, Ca–Mg–Na–HCO3–Cl and Na–Ca–HCO3–SO4 types. A positive high correlation (r
2 = 0.928) between Na and Cl suggests that the salinity of groundwater is due to intermixing of two or more groundwater bodies
with different hydrochemical compositions. Barring a few locations, most of the groundwater samples are suitable for irrigation
uses. Chemical fertilizers, sugar factories and anthropogenic activities are contributing to the sulphate and chloride concentrations
in the groundwater of the study area. Overexploitation of aquifers induced multi componential mixing of groundwater with agricultural
return flow waters is responsible for generating groundwater of various compositions in its lateral extent. 相似文献

The sea level rise has its own-bearing on the coastal recession and hydro-environmental degradation of the River Nile Delta.
Attempts are made here to use remote sensing to detect the coastal recession in some selected parts and delineating the chemistry
of groundwater aquifers and surface water, which lie along south-mid-northern and coastal zone of the Nile Delta. Eight water
samples from groundwater monitoring wells and 13 water samples from surface water were collected and analyzed for various
hydrochemical parameters. The groundwater samples are classified into five hydrochemical facies on Hill-Piper trilinear diagram
based on the dominance of different cations and anions: facies 1: Ca–Mg–Na–HCO3–Cl–SO4 type I; facies 2: Na–Cl–HCO3 type II; facies 3: Na–Ca–Mg–Cl type III, facies 4: Ca–Na–Mg–Cl–HCO3 type IV and facies 5: Na–Mg–Cl type V. The hydrochemical facies showed that the majority of samples were enriched in sodium,
bicarbonate and chloride types and, which reflected that the sea water and tidal channel play a major role in controlling
the groundwater chemical composition in the Quaternary shallow aquifers, with a severe degradation going north of Nile Delta.
Also, the relationship between the dissolved chloride (Cl, mmol/l), as a variable, and other major ion combinations (in mmol/l)
were considered as another criterion for chemical classification system. The low and medium chloride groundwater occurs in
southern and mid Nile Delta (Classes A and B), whereas the high and very high chloride (classes D and C) almost covers the
northern parts of the Nile Delta indicating the severe effect of sea water intrusion. Other facets of hydro-environmental
degradation are reflected through monitoring the soil degradation process within the last two decades in the northern part
of Nile Delta. Land degradation was assessed by adopting new approach through the integration of GLASOD/FAO approach and Remote
Sensing/GIS techniques. The main types of human induced soil degradation observed in the studied area are salinity, alkalinity
(sodicity), compaction and water logging. On the other hand, water erosion because of sea rise is assessed. Multi-dates satellite
data from Landsat TM and ETM+ images dated 1983 and 2003 were used to detect the changes of shoreline during the last two
decades. The obtained results showed that, the eroded areas were determined as 568.20 acre; meanwhile the accreted areas were
detected as 494.61 acre during the 20-year period. 相似文献

Groundwater recharge in arid areas induced by tropical cyclones: lessons learned from Gonu 2007 in Sultanate of Oman 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
Younger groundwater found in some Omani aquifers is a result of recent recharge from cyclonic and storm events [Weyhenmeyer
et al. (Science 287:842–845, 2000); Young et al. (J Appl Geophys 57:43–61, 2004)]. The analysis of the meteorological data in Oman indicates an anomalous rainfall on a decadal interval whereas cyclones
frequency is expected to increase due to global climatic changes. The cyclone Gonu has severely struck the eastern Omani coasts
in 2007 resulting in devastating floods. Huge volume of water (3,672 mm3) spread over the coastal plain calling for an assessment of potential groundwater recharge subsequent to this event. The
present study evaluates groundwater recharge with respect to Gonu 2007 to assess the potential of recharge induced by such
cyclones in the arid zones. The hydrographs of several piezometers sited along the coastal plain in Muscat Province have been
studied and variation in water table rise has been analyzed. Significant water table rise is indicated for areas with geological
and structural settings favoring rapid infiltration of water yielding considerable groundwater mound, whereas piezometers
located in less favorable zones show minimum rise of water table. However, soon after the floods the aquifer hydrodynamics
has readjusted to attain equilibrium and the groundwater mound dissipated. The cumulative rise of the water table on an areal
extent does not exceed a few centimeters indicating lesser volume of recharge. Comparatively, recharge from frequent precipitation
along favorable zones produces more significant recharge compared with cyclonic events where surface water residence time
is shorter to allow for efficient infiltration. 相似文献

Unplanned exploitation of groundwater constitutes emerging water-related threats to MayoTsanaga River Basin. Shallow groundwater
from crystalline and detrital sediment aquifers, together with rain, dams, springs, and rivers were chemically and isotopically
investigated to appraise its evolution, recharge source and mechanisms, flow direction, and age which were used to evaluate
the groundwater susceptibility to contamination and the basin’s stage of salinization. The groundwater which is Ca–Na–HCO3 type is a chemically evolved equivalent of surface waters and rain water with Ca–Mg–Cl–SO4 chemistry. The monsoon rain recharged the groundwater preferentially at an average rate of 74 mm/year, while surface waters
recharge upon evaporation. Altitude effect of rain and springs show a similar variation of −0.4‰ for δ18O/100 m, but the springs which were recharged at 452, 679, and 773 m asl show enrichment of δ18O through evaporation by 0.8‰ corresponding to 3% of water loss during recharge. The groundwater which shows both local and
regional flow regimes gets older towards the basins` margin with coeval enrichment in F− and depletion in NO3
−. Incidentally, younger groundwaters are susceptible to anthropogenic contamination and older groundwaters are sinks of lithologenic
fluoride. The basins salinization is still at an early stage. 相似文献

The present study has examined the relationship of groundwater arsenic (As) levels in alluvial aquifers with topographic elevation,
slope, and groundwater level on a large basinal-scale using high-resolution (90 m × 90 m) Shuttle Radar Topography Mission
(SRTM) digital elevation model and water-table data in Bangladesh. Results show that high As (>50 μg/l) tubewells are located
in low-lying areas, where mean surface elevation is approximately 10 m. Similarly, high As concentrations are found within
extremely low slopes (<0.7°) in the country. Groundwater elevation (weekly measured by Bangladesh Water Development Board)
was mapped using water-table data from 950 shallow (depth <100 m) piezometers distributed over the entire country. The minimum,
maximum and mean groundwater elevation maps for 2003 were generated using Universal Kriging interpolation method. High As
tubewells are located mainly in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna delta, Sylhet Trough, and recent floodplains, where groundwater
elevation in shallow aquifers is low with a mean value of 4.5 m above the Public Works Datum (PWD) level. Extremely low groundwater
gradients (0.01–0.001 m/km) within the GBM delta complex hinder groundwater flow and cause slow flushing of aquifers. Low
elevation and gentle slope favor accumulation of finer sediments, As-carrying iron-oxyhydroxide minerals, and abundant organic
matter within floodplains and alluvial deposits. At low horizontal hydraulic gradients and under reducing conditions, As is
released in groundwater by microbial activity, causing widespread contamination in the low-lying deltaic and floodplain areas,
where As is being recycled with time due to complex biogeochemical processes. 相似文献

In this case study, silica concentration, oxygen and strontium isotopes of water samples were used to study surface water–groundwater
interaction at the Xin’an karst water system. The silica concentration in rain water is commonly less than 1 mg/l. In the
areas around the south tributary of the Zhuozhang River, silica concentrations in the groundwater in Quaternary aquifers range
between 4.04 and 7.66 mg/l while that of the surface water varies from 1.49 to 6.9 mg/l. Silica concentrations of most surface
water samples increase with TDS, indicating the effect of groundwater recharge on river water chemistry. On the contour map
of silica concentration of groundwater in Quaternary aquifers, samples located close to surface water often have lower silica
concentrations as a result of surface water recharge. Both overland flow and surface water have impact on karst water according
to our hydrogeochemical study of stable oxygen isotope, Sr isotope and strontium contents. Calculation results of three end
member mixing model show that the contribution of karst water, surface water and overland flow water is 45, 28 and 27%, respectively. 相似文献

Groundwater depletion and quality deterioration due to environmental impacts in Maheshwaram watershed of R.R. district,AP (India) 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Maheshwaram watershed is situated in Ranga Reddy district of Andhra Pradesh at a distance of about 30 km south of Hyderabad,
capital of Andhra Pradesh. The watershed has an area of 60 km2 and has hard rock aquifers with semi-arid climate. The study area has been expanding at a fast pace and now has the distinction
of being one of the fastest growing urban centers facing the problem of groundwater depletion and quality deterioration due
to the absence of perennial source of surface water and also due to over exploitation. Human activities involving industrial
and agricultural development and the inadequate management of land and water resources have, directly or indirectly resulted
in the degradation of environment viz. water and soil. In the present study chemical analysis of groundwater samples of the
study area, collected during pre- and post-monsoon seasons of 2007–2008 has been carried out. The analyzed data are utilized
to characterize the hydro chemical process dominant in the area. Various classification methods such as Piper, Back and Hanshaw,
Wilcox, USA. Salinity Laboratory are employed to critically study the geochemical characteristics of groundwater of the study
area. Finally, principal component analysis (PCA) is also employed to the chemical variables of groundwater to characterize
the hydro chemical process that is dominant in the area. In the analysis four principal components emerged as significant
contributors to the groundwater quality. The total contribution of these four components is about 85–87%. The contribution
of the first component is about 49–50% and has significant positive loadings of Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and Cl− ions. The second, third, and fourth principal components have significant positive loadings of F−, NO3
−, SO4
2+, and HCO3
− ions. 相似文献

The San Antonio-El Triunfo mining district, located at a mountainous region 45 km south-east of La Paz, Baja California,
has been worked since the late 1700s. Mine waste material produced during 200 years of mineral extraction area poses a risk
of local groundwater pollution and eventually, regional pollution to the Carrizal (west basin) and the Los Planes (east basin)
aquifers. There are different types of deposits in the mining area. These are dominated by epithermal veins, in which arsenopyrite
is an important component. Carrillo and Drever (1998a) concluded that, even though the amount of mine waste is relatively
small in comparison to the large scale area, significant As in groundwater derived from the mine waste piles is found locally
in the groundwater. This paper shows the results of geochemical analyses of groundwater samples from the San Antonio-El Triunfo
area and the Carrizal and Los Planes aquifers during several years of monitoring (1993–1997). The highest values of total
dissolved solids (TDS) and As are in the mineralized area where the mining operations occurred (∼1500 ppm TDS and 0.41 ppm
As). The lowest concentrations of TDS and As are, in general, away from the mineralized area (∼500 ppm TDS and 0.01 ppm As).
Sulfate and bicarbonate (alkalinity) are, in general, high near the mineralized area and low away from it. The arsenic concentrations
vary seasonally, especially after the heavy summer thunderstorms. Geochemical modeling (MINTEQA2 and NETPATH) and analysis
of the regional geochemical evolution of the groundwater from the mining area towards the aquifer of Los Planes shows that
the most likely hydrochemical processes include: dilution, precipitation of calcite, and adsorption of As onto surfaces of
iron oxyhydroxides (ferrihydrite). These processes act as natural controls to the extent and amount of As pollution in the
Carrizal and Los Planes aquifers.

This study explains the impact of sand–gravel mining and over-abstraction, and the response of the groundwater system in the
Kazan Plain, Turkey. The plain used to be known for its fresh groundwater potential, valuable agricultural lands and natural
beauty until the 1980s. According to the estimation in 1975, there was 15.5 million m3 annual useable freshwater in the Quaternary sand–gravel aquifer. Groundwater level ranged between 0 and 5 m from the surface
of the plain in the 1970s. Because of the large and deep excavations by the sand–gravel pits during the past 25–30 years,
the aquifer has thinned and removed entirely in some places. In addition, over-abstraction has accelerated the decline of
the groundwater level, particularly in the middle and the upper part of the plain in recent years. As of 2009, about 12% of
the total volume of the aquifer area removed by the pits and groundwater table has been reduced to between 5 and 20 m. The
decline of the water table reaches 15–20 m in the regions where over-abstraction has taken place. To reduce the hazards to
the groundwater system, the sand–gravel pits have to be banned immediately, a reclamation project applied and abstraction
must be reduced. 相似文献

Evaluation of hydrogeochemical processes in arsenic-contaminated alluvial aquifers in parts of Mid-Ganga Basin,Bihar, Eastern India 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

The study region covers 1,650 km2 of the Mid-Ganga Basin in Bihar, experiencing intensive groundwater draft. The area forms a part of the Gangetic alluvial
plain where high incidence of arsenic groundwater contamination (>50 μg/l) has recently been detected. Seventy-seven groundwater
samples have been collected and analysed for major ions, iron and arsenic. Arsenic contamination (max 620 μg/l) is confined
in hand pump zones (15–35 m) within the newer alluvium deposited during Middle Holocene to Recent age. The older alluvial
aquifers are arsenic-safe and recorded maximum concentration as 9 μg/l. Out of 12 hydrochemical facies identified, four have
been found arsenic-affected: Ca–HCO3, Mg–HCO3, Ca–Mg–HCO3 and Mg–Ca–HCO3. The geochemical evolution of groundwater, as investigated by graphical interpretation and statistical techniques (correlation,
principal component analysis) revealed that dissolution of detrital calcite, dolomite and infiltration of rainwater are the
major processes shaping the groundwater chemistry in the newer alluvium. Arsenic and iron showed strong positive correlation.
Rainfall infiltration, carrying organic matter from recently accumulated biomass from this flood-prone belt, plays a critical
role in releasing arsenic and iron present in the sediments. Geochemical evolution of groundwater in older alluvium follows
a different path, where cation-exchange has been identified as a significant process. 相似文献

The distribution of several minor and trace elements mainly in fresh (dominating TDS 160–400 mg/l) groundwater of Latvia have
been investigated by the Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique. An evaluation of results of about
700 analyses leads to the conclusion that concentrations of these elements is influenced by: pH–Eh conditions, groundwater
residence time and diffuse contamination, whereas the role of water-bearing sediments is of secondary importance. Most trace
elements are characterised by low mobility under alkaline and reducing conditions; concentrations in confined aquifers are
much smaller than the Maximum Permissible Values for drinking water. The strongest anomalies of REE, Al and P were found in
shallow groundwater around the former agrochemical storehouses. 相似文献

Numerical modeling the role of rubber dams on groundwater recharge and phreatic evaporation loss in riparian zones 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Rubber dams have been widely built for their advantages in increase of flooding resources utilization in the north arid and
semiarid plain regions of China. Rise in river water stage by the dams, particularly during the drought periods, increases
lateral seepage of river water into groundwater, and thus groundwater table and phreatic evaporation loss in the riparian
zones. In this study, a riparian area of the Baihe River in Nanyang of Henan Province, China was selected for investigation
of influences of the river dams on the groundwater recharge and evaporation loss. A hydraulic model, HEC-RAS, was used for
simulation of the river stage variations along the Baihe River, and a numerical groundwater model, MODFLOW, was applied for
simulation of groundwater dynamics and estimation of river flow seepage into aquifer and evaporation loss. The results show
that the dams increase river stages of 2–3 m during January 2000–December 2002. The increase in the captured groundwater recharge
was 7.15–34.06 million m3/a and the increased phreatic evaporation loss occupies 10% of the increased recharge when four rubber dams were built. 相似文献

High arsenic (As) groundwater is widely distributed in northwestern Hetao Plain, an arid region with sluggish groundwater
flow. Observed As concentration in groundwater from wells ranges from 76 to 1,093 μg/l. Most water samples have high total
dissolved solids, with Cl and HCO3 as the dominant anions and Na as the dominant cation. The major hydrochemical types of most saline groundwaters are Na–Mg–Cl–HCO3 and Na–Mg–Cl. By contrast, fresh groundwaters generally belong to the Na–Mg–HCO3 type. High concentrations of arsenic in shallow aquifers are associated with strongly reducing conditions, as evidenced by
high concentrations of dissolved organic carbon, ammonium, as well as dissolved sulfide and Fe, dominance of arsenite, relatively
low concentrations of nitrate and sulfate, and occasionally high content of dissolved methane (CH4). High As groundwaters from different places at Hetao Plain experienced different redox processes. Fluoride is also present
in high As groundwater, ranging between 0.40 and 3.36 mg/l. Although fluorosis poses an additional health problem in the region,
it does not correlate well with As in spatial distribution. Geochemical analysis indicates that evapotranspiration is an important
process controlling the enrichment of Na and Cl, as well as trace elements such as As, B, and Br in groundwater.

Hydrogeological conditions and quality of ground waters in northern Banat,Pannonian basin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Geological relationships, hydrogeology and chemical composition of ground water in northern Banat were studied through the
period 2000–2004 using the available background data from published and unpublished sources. Northern Banat is the extreme
northeastern part of the Republic of Serbia and a geotectonic part of the vast Pannonian depression. The source of domestic
and industrial water supply is only groundwater from artesian and subartesian aquifers of Lower Pleistocene (Q11) and Upper Pleistocene (Pl32) sand deposits. The ground water, “peculiar” in chemical composition, is the only source of drinking water in the arid area.
A notable variation in the chemical composition of artesian waters within the same geotectonic unit (Pannonian basin), abstracted
for municipal water supplies of Kikinda, Novi Knezevac and Djala, has attracted attention of these authors. Our paper attempts
to interpret the variation in the chemical composition of ground water and the cause of the variation by the interaction of
ground water and rocks forming the aquifers on the case example of the water supply sources for the three mentioned towns.
With respect to the depth and lithology of the aquifers, we interpret the varied chemical compositions of waters in the mentioned
sources as a consequence of natural factors (geological environment), geological relationships and hydrogeological conditions. 相似文献

Alternative water resources in granitic rock: a case study from Kinmen Island,Taiwan 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Kinmen Island is a small, tectonically stable, granitic island that has been suffering from a scarcity of fresh water resources
due to excessive annual evapotranspiration over annual precipitation. Recent studies further indicate that shallow (0–70 m)
sedimentary aquifers, the major sources of groundwater supply, have already been over-exploited. Therefore, this preliminary
study is to investigate the existence of exploitable water resources that can balance the shortage of fresh water on this
island. Site characterization data are obtained from island-wide geophysical surveys as well as small-scale tests performed
in a study area formed by three deep (maximum depth to 560 m) vertical boreholes installed in mid-east Kinmen northeast to
Taiwu Mountain. Vertical fracture frequency data indicate that the rock body is fractured with a spatially correlated pattern,
from which three major fracture zones (depths 0–70, 330–360, and below 450 m) can be identified. Geologic investigations indicate
that the deepest fracture zone is caused by the large-scale, steeply dipping Taiwushan fault. This fault may have caused a
laterally extensive low-resistivity zone, a potential fractured aquifer, near Taiwu Mountain. The middle fracture zone is
induced by the Taiwushan fault and intersects the fault approximately 21 m southeast of the study area below a depth of 350 m.
Slug testing results yield fracture transmissivity varying from 4.8 × 10−7 to 2.2 × 10−4 m2/s. Cross-hole tests have confirmed that hydraulic connectivity of the deeper rock body is controlled by the Taiwushan fault
and the middle fracture zone. This connectivity may extend vertically to the sedimentary aquifers through high-angle joint
sets. Despite the presence of a flow barrier formed by doleritic dike at about 300 m depth, the existence of fresh as well
as meteoric water in the deeper rock body manifests that certain flow paths must exist through which the deeper fractured
aquifers can be connected to the upper rock body. Therefore, groundwater stored within the Taiwushan fault and the associated
low-resistivity zone can be considered as additional fresh water resources for future exploitation. 相似文献

Arsenic contamination in groundwater affecting West Bengal (India) and Bangladesh is a serious environmental problem. Contamination
is extensive in the low-lying areas of Bhagirathi–Ganga delta, located mainly to the east of the Bhagirathi River. A few isolated
As-contaminated areas occur west of the Bhagirathi River and over the lower parts of the Damodar river fan-delta. The Damodar
being a Peninsular Indian river, the arsenic problem is not restricted to Himalayan rivers alone. Arsenic contamination in
the Bengal Delta is confined to the Holocene Younger Delta Plain and the alluvium that was deposited around 10,000–7,000 years
bp, under combined influence of the Holocene sea-level rise and rapid erosion in the Himalaya. Further, contaminated areas are
often located close to distribution of abandoned or existing channels, swamps, which are areas of surface water and biomass
accumulation. Extensive extraction of groundwater mainly from shallow aquifers cause recharge from nearby surface water bodies.
Infiltration of recharge water enriched in dissolved organic matter derived either from recently accumulated biomass and/or
from sediment organic matter enhanced reductive dissolution of hydrated iron oxide that are present mainly as sediment grain
coatings in the aquifers enhancing release of sorbed arsenic to groundwater. 相似文献
