Eco-physiological and plant performance responses and acclimation of Populus euphratica Oliv. to water release of the lower reaches of Tarim River, China were investigated. Three representative areas and 15 transects
were selected along the lower reaches of the Tarim River. The groundwater level and salt content as well as plant performance
and the contents of proline, soluble sugar, and plant endogenous hormone (ABA, CTK) in leaves were monitored and analyzed
before- and after-water release. The groundwater level was raised in different areas and transects by the water release program.
The physiological stress to P. euphratica decreased after the water release. Our results suggested that the groundwater level in the studied region changed from −3.15
to −4.12 m, salt content of the groundwater from 67.15 to 72.65 mM, the proline content from 9.28 to 11.06 mM, the soluble
sugar content from 224.71 to 252.16 mM, the ABA content from 3.59 to 5.01 ng/(g FW), and the CK content from 4.01 to 4.56 ng/(g
FW)- for the optimum growth and recover of P. euphratica indicated by the plant performance parameters, and the efficiency of water release was the highest. 相似文献

Seasonal variations in foliar stable carbon composition (δ13C) and nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) concentrations of Populus euphratica Olivier and Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb, as well as correlations between foliar δ13C values and N, P and K concentrations were studied in the Ejina oasis in the lower reaches of the Heihe River, northwestern
China. Foliar δ13C values, and P and K concentrations significantly differed between species. Foliar δ13C signatures in T. ramosissima were significantly more enriched than those in P. euphratica, but P and K concentrations of P. euphratica were higher. The seasonal variations and patterns of these were similar. The total foliar δ13C values and N, P and K concentrations in both P. euphratica and T. ramosissima showed a descending trend. There were significantly positive correlations between foliar δ13C values and N and P concentration of both P. euphratica and T. ramosissima. For the relationship between foliar δ13C and K concentration, there appeared oppositely positive and negative correlations in P. euphratica and T. ramosissima, respectively, but they were not significant. The simple positive correlations of δ13C–P% and δ13C–N% suggested that N and P in P. euphratica and T. ramosissima behave in a similar manner. This study also showed that there were nutrient deficiencies; N and P nutriments were the co-limiting
factors in P. euphratica, while it was P nutriment in T. ramosissima. 相似文献

The drought and salt tolerance of two pioneer species, Populus euphratica and Tamarix ramosissima, were studied by monitoring the stem and leaf water potentials under various soil moisture and salinity at depths of 0–180 cm. The plants are naturally distributed in arid environment in the lower reaches of the Tarim River in Xinjiang, China. The results showed that P. euphratica can withhold water by prolonging dewatering and adapt to the dry desert weather by reducing water consumption. The lowest soil moisture that would unfavorably influence its growth was found to be 7% soil moisture. T. ramosissima was found to have low water potential and high transpiration efficiency. It is capable of absorbing water from the soil by keeping a low water potential, so there is no critical limit of soil moisture for T. ramosissima. In terms of salt resistance, P. euphratica was found to secrete salt from its body by discharging salty water through portals in its trunks and leaves. A soil salinity of 20% was the minimum concentration at which the salt secretion mechanism of P. euphratica was activated. T. ramosissima secreted salt by storing the accumulated salt in the vacuoles of its salt secretion glands for separation. Thus, it has no minimum soil salinity limit. T. ramosissima was found to have better resistance to drought and salt stress than P. euphratica. 相似文献

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

Analysis of an oasis microclimate in China’s hyperarid zone 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The microclimate of a desert oasis in China’s hyperarid zone was monitored, analysed and compared to that of nearby forested
lands. Factors associated with differences in photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) between clear, cloudy and dust storm
days are discussed. Desert oases were shown to fulfill ecological functions such as altering solar radiation, adjusting near-ground
and land surface temperatures, reducing temperature differences, lowering wind velocity, and increasing soil and atmospheric
humidity. Total solar radiation within the oasis was roughly half that above the forest canopy. During the growing season,
air temperatures in Populus euphratica Olivier and Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. woodlands were, on average, 1.62 and 0.83°C lower, respectively, than that in surrounding woodlands. The greater the
forest cover, the greater was the difference in temperature. Air temperature was higher at the upper storey than that at the
lower storey of the community, i.e., air temperature increased with increasing height above the soil surface. During the growing
season, relative humidity was higher in woodlands than in surrounding areas: relative humidity in P. euphratica and T. ramosissima woodlands were, on average, 8.5 and 4.2% higher, respectively, than that in the surrounding area. Mean wind velocity in the
P. euphratica forest land was 0.33 m/s, 2.31 m/s lower than that in the surrounding area. On dust storm days PAR and total radiation, Q, were significantly lower than that on cloudy or clear days. Their ratio, η
Q
= PAR/Q, was larger and much more variable on dust storm days than that on clear or cloudy days. 相似文献

This study applied a comprehensive quantitative approach including statistical, principal component and gray relation analyses
to assess the groundwater chemistry based on monitored data from 840 samples collected from the lower reaches of Tarim River
from 2000 to 2009. The main findings were: (1) there were six types of groundwater chemistry in the lower reaches of Tarim
River where Cl·SO4–Na·Mg was the dominant type accounting for 73.57% in all samples. There were linear relationships among chemical parameters,
where TDS had significant multiple correlations with Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and Cl−, respectively. (2) Three principal components (PC1, PC2 and PC3) were extracted. They included comprehensive measurements
for salinization, alkalinity and pH, respectively. Most parameters showed decreasing trends during the period of 2000–2009,
as well as the scores on PC1, because the concentrations of various chemical substances were diluted due to the uplift of
the groundwater table in the lower reaches and the implementation of the ecological water delivery project in 2000. (3) HCO3
− was the most sensitive chemical parameter affected by the groundwater table followed by TA, Mg2+, TH, SO42−, K+, TDS and TS. PC2 was the most sensitive principal component to the change of the groundwater table followed by PC1 and PC3. 相似文献

The effects of human activities on oasis climate and hydrologic environment in the Aksu River Basin,Xinjiang, China 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Guoya Wang Yongping Shen Jiangang Zhang Shunde Wang Weiyi Mao 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2010,59(8):1759-1769
Under the influence of human activities, the differences in climate changes emerged obviously in the Aksu Oasis. The summer
air temperature in Aksu City increased at a rate of 0.20°C·(10 annum)−1, while the air temperature in Aler in summer decreased at a rate of −0.27°C·(10 annum)−1. Human intervention has become the dominant factor in the the changes of water resources in the Aksu Oasis. Compared with
the Xidaqiao hydrological station, which is located on the upper reaches of the Aksu River, the runoff ratio at the Aler hydrological
station increased in summer and decreased in spring. Though the natural water inflow has increased in the last 50 years, irrigation
diversion and water consumption for human activities have increased unceasingly due to the increased reclamation of land and
the development of extensive agriculture. The water quality at the Xidaqiao station is in Grade I at different periods, and
the water quality at the Aler station of the Tarim River is good because the river did not suffer from human disturbance before
the large-scale development of oasis agriculture; but the salinity of river water increased from 0.67 g L−1 in 1960 to 5.27 g L−1 in 2000 at the Aler station after farmland development, reclamation and salt washing in the oasis. The geographic distribution
of surface water resources has changed due to human activities and in turn affected groundwater replenishment, bringing about
changes to groundwater table and quality. 相似文献

Response of groundwater chemistry to water deliveries in the lower reaches of Tarim River,Northwest China 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Yongjin Chen Kefa Zhou Yaning Chen Weihong Li Jiazhen Liu Tao Wang 《Environmental Geology》2008,53(6):1365-1373
In this paper, we analysed the monitored data from nine groundwater-monitoring transects in the lower reaches of Tarim River
during the five times of stream water deliveries to the river transect where the stream flow ceased. The results showed that
the groundwater depth in the lower reaches of Tarim River rose from −9.30 m before the conveyances to −8.17 and −6.50 m after
the first and second conveyances, −5.81 and −6.00 m after the third and fourth the conveyance, and −4.73 m after the fifth.
The horizontal extent of groundwater recharge was gradually enlarged along both sides of the channel of conveyance, i.e.,
from 250 m in width after the first conveyance to 1,050 m away from the channel after the fourth delivery. With the rising
groundwater level, the concentrations of major anions Cl−, SO42− and cations Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, as well as total dissolved solids (TDS) in groundwater underwent a significant change. The spatial variations in groundwater
chemistry indicated that the groundwater chemistry at the transect near Daxihaizi Reservoir changed earlier than that farther
from it. In the same transect, the chemical variations were earlier in the monitoring well close to watercourse than that
farther away from the stream. In general, the concentration of the major ions and TDS at each monitoring well increased remarkably
when the water delivery started, and decreased with the continued water delivery, and then increased once again at the end
of the study period. Hence, the whole study period may be divided into three stages: the initial stage, the intermediate stage
and the later stage. According to the three stages of groundwater chemistry reaction to water delivery and the relationships
between groundwater chemical properties and groundwater depths, we educe that under the situation of water delivery, the optimum
groundwater depth in the lower reaches of the Tarim River should be −5 m. 相似文献

Hydrogeochemical processes in the groundwater environment of Heihe River Basin,northwest China 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Zhu Gaofeng Su Yonghong Huang Chunlin Feng Qi Liu Zhiguang 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2010,60(1):139-153
The Heihe River Basin is a typical arid inland river basin for examining stress on groundwater resources in northwest China.
The basin is composed of large volumes of unconsolidated Quaternary sediments of widely differing grain size, and during the
past half century, rapid socio-economic development has created an increased demand for groundwater resources. Understanding
the hydrogeochemical processes of groundwater and water quality is important for sustainable development and effective management
of groundwater resources in the Heihe River basin. To this end, a total of 30 representative groundwater samples were collected
from different wells to monitor the water chemistry of various ions and its quality for irrigation. Chemical analysis shows
that water presents a large spatial variability of chemical facies (SO4
2−–HCO3−, SO4
2−–Cl−, and Cl−–SO4
2−) as groundwater flow from recharge area to discharge area. The ionic ratio indicates positive correlation between the flowing
pairs of parameters: Cl− and Na+(r = 0.95), SO4
2− and Na+ (r = 0.84), HCO3
− and Mg2+(r = 0.86), and SO4
2− and Ca2+ (r = 0.91). Dissolution of minerals, such as halite, gypsum, dolomite, silicate, and Mirabilite (Na2SO4·10H2O) in the sediments results in the Cl−, SO4
2−, HCO3
−, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ content in the groundwater. Other reactions, such as evaporation, ion exchange, and deposition also influence the water composition.
The suitability of the groundwater for irrigation was assessed based on the US Salinity Laboratory salinity classification
and the Wilcox diagram. The results show that most of the groundwater samples are suitable for irrigation uses barring a few
locations in the dessert region in the northern sub-basin. 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

Fish school swimming speeds is essential for ecological and management studies. The multibeam sonar in horizontal beaming
provided dynamic echo traces of mobile fish schools. We used two school swimming speed indicators: the average of a series
of instantaneous speed values, and the exploratory speed. These swimming speeds were estimated for each fish school observed
on the basis of their Euclidian position within the sonar beams. The average ISS values per school ranged from 0.15 m s−1 to 4.46 m s−1, while the ESS values per school were lower, ranging from 0.04 m s−1 to 3.77 m s−1. Multibeam sonar technology makes it possible to measure fish school swimming speeds in their natural habitat at small spatio-temporal
scales. This methodology can therefore be used to analyse in situ their movements, and has a wide range of applications in
behavioural studies and management purposes. 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

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

The 18O and 2H (HDO) compositions are summarized for sampled springs (n = 81) within the Elwha watershed (≈692 km2) on the northern Olympic Peninsula. Samples, collected during 2001–2009, of springs (n = 158), precipitation (n = 520), streams (n = 176), and firn (n = 3) assisted the determinations for meteoric composition of recharge waters. The local mean water line (LMWL) is defined
as δ2H = 8.2δ18O − 9.3 for the watershed. Recharge history is surmised from groundwater ages ranging from 5 ± 3 years (apparent 85Kr) to 9,490 ± 420 14C cal years BP. About 56% of the springs were recharged over the last 1,000 years while 13% of springs were recharged over
5,000 years ago. Spring HDO values fluctuate between −11.8 to −15.6‰ δ18O and −90.9 to −119.4‰ δ2H. Deuterium excess values predominate around 4–6‰. The HDO proxy records from springs suggest a pronounced paleoclimate shift
in air masses near 5,000 year BP on the Peninsula. 相似文献

Geochemical mixing models were used to decipher the dominant source of freshwater (rainfall, canal discharge, or groundwater
discharge) to Biscayne Bay, an estuary in south Florida. Discrete samples of precipitation, canal water, groundwater, and
bay surface water were collected monthly for 2 years and analyzed for salinity, stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen, and
Sr2+/Ca2+ concentrations. These geochemical tracers were used in three separate mixing models and then combined to trace the magnitude
and timing of the freshwater inputs to the estuary. Fresh groundwater had an isotopic signature (δ
18O = −2.66‰, δD −7.60‰) similar to rainfall (δ
18O = −2.86‰, δD = −4.78‰). Canal water had a heavy isotopic signature (δ
18O = −0.46‰, δD = −2.48‰) due to evaporation. This made it possible to use stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen to separate canal water
from precipitation and groundwater as a source of freshwater into the bay. A second model using Sr2+/Ca2+ ratios was developed to discern fresh groundwater inputs from precipitation inputs. Groundwater had a Sr2+/Ca2+ ratio of 0.07, while precipitation had a dissimilar ratio of 0.89. When combined, these models showed a freshwater input
ratio of canal/precipitation/groundwater of 37%:53%:10% in the wet season and 40%:55%:5% in the dry season with an error of
±25%. For a bay-wide water budget that includes saltwater and freshwater mixing, fresh groundwater accounts for 1–2% of the
total fresh and saline water input. 相似文献

Based on data obtained from field investigations, this paper aims to analyze the influence of the river overflow on the desert
riparian vegetation and discuss the function of the river overflow on the vegetation restoration at the lower Tarim River.
The results show that (1) there are only 17 species, 13 genera and 9 families in the study areas before river overflow, while
there are 34 species, 26 genera and 12 families after the overflowing in which 18 species emerged newly; (2) judging by the
biodiversity indices, the species diversity and species richness in the river overflowed area increase more significantly
than those in the un-overflow area; (3) judging by the importance of different species after years of river overflowing, the
annual herbs germinate quickly at first, while the perennial herbs with deep roots or root clones become dominant in the plant
community; (4) after several times of river overflowing, some arbors and shrubs such as Populus euphratica and Tamarix ramosissima germinate easily and can dominate gradually in the plant community. The results indicate that the river overflowing restores
the severely degraded ecosystem in the lower Tarim River and the function is connected with restoration of eco-hydrological
processes in the study areas. The results suggest that experimental overflowing has initiated a process of restoring ecosystem
function within the riparian forest. 相似文献

Sensitivity of high-resolution tropical cyclone intensity forecasts to surface flux parameterization
Chi-Sann Liou 《Natural Hazards》2007,41(3):387-399
Surface flux parameterization schemes used in current dynamic models are primarily based upon measurements at low and moderate
wind speeds. Recent studies show that these parameterization schemes may be incorrect at high wind speeds (e.g., tropical
cyclone forecasts). Five high-resolution numerical model experiments are designed to assess the sensitivity of tropical cyclone
intensity forecasts to changes in the surface flux parameterization. The sensitivity experiments are conducted by running
48 h forecasts of the Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) for six selected tropical cyclones with
individual modifications to surface flux calculation that include: (1) limiting the surface stress for wind speeds greater
than 33 m s−1, or 64 knots (kt); (2) computing the stress at the top of the model bottom grid layer (MBGL) by averaging results from surface
layer similarity and turbulence mixing parameterization for wind speeds greater than 33 m s−1; (3) increasing the roughness lengths for heat and moisture transfer by a factor of ten; (4) setting the roughness lengths
for heat and moisture transfer to 1/10 of the momentum roughness length; and (5) cooling the sea surface temperature (SST)
by a prescribed rate at high winds. Averaged responses for the six storms to these sensitivity tests show that: (i) the limit
on surface stress at high winds significantly increases the cyclone intensity in 48 h forecasts; (ii) the averaged surface
layer stress at high winds increases the cyclone intensity but to a much lesser degree than limiting the surface stress; (iii)
large increases in the roughness lengths for heat and moisture transfer are needed to significantly impact the intensity forecast;
(iv) the different roughness length formula for surface transfer coefficients notably increases C
h/C
d ratio from 0.59 to 0.79 for 25 m s−1 and 0.41 to 0.75 for 50 m s−1 that significantly increases the predicted cyclone intensity; and (v) cooling of the SST by −5.8°C in 48 h reduces the maximum
surface wind speed by −32 kt, or 16.5 m s−1, at 48 h forecast. These results suggest that a surface flux parameterization scheme suitable for tropical cyclone intensity
forecast must correctly model the leveling-off character of surface stress and C
h/C
d ratio at high winds. All modifications to surface flux calculation have little influence on 48 h track forecasts, even though
they may significantly impact the intensity forecasts.

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

Growing season evapotranspiration from Tamarix ramosissima stands under extreme arid conditions in northwest China 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Given the increasing threat of water shortages in the extremely arid regions (rainfall<50 mm year−1) of northwestern China, growing season evapotranspiration (ET) associated with native species such as Tamarix ramosissima is of particular interest. Consequently, this study sought to evaluate the accuracy of daily ET estimates using Bowen ratio
data, as well as measuring seasonal ET and development of an energy balance for a stand of T. ramosissima. Bowen ratio apparatus measurements of ET were carried out on a stand of T. ramosissima in a 2.04 km2 field, which are all covered with T. ramosissima near Erdaoqiao, Ejina Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. Soil moisture content and green area index were
also monitored. Daily ET could be accurately estimated from Bowen ratio data on a continuous basis over the 153-day growing
season. The mean daily T. ramosissima ET over this period was 1.62 mm day−1, for a seasonal total of 248.20 mm. In this extremely arid locale, the great majority of available energy dissipated over
the growing season was a result of sensible rather than latent heat fluxes. While the heat storage term was the main source
of energy at night and a considerable sink of energy during the daytime, the magnitude of the daily mean soil heat flux was
small. Such a determination of temporal and ecosystem-specific ET patterns allows an improved prediction of ET in the desert
riparian zone. 相似文献

Twenty groundwater samples were collected from two different areas in Satkhira Sadar Upazila to identify the source of salinity
in deep groundwater aquifer. Most of the analyzed groundwater is of Na–Cl–HCO3 type water. The trends of anion and cation are Cl− > HCO3
− > NO3
− > SO4
2− and Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+, respectively. Groundwater chemistry in the study area is mainly governed by rock dissolution and ion exchange. The dissolved
minerals in groundwater mainly come from silicate weathering. The salinity of groundwater samples varies from ~1 to ~5%, and
its source is possibly the paleo-brackish water which may be entrapped during past geologic periods. 相似文献
