The Begnas Lake in the Pokhara Valley is one of the threatened habitats in Nepal. The major ion chemistry explains the status of most of the inorganic nutrients and their possible sources. However, the earlier studies mostly cover limnological investigations, and phytoplankton and zooplankton diversity. Thus, the present study has been conducted to investigate the geochemical processes and to examine the seasonal variation of chemical composition within Begnas Lake. The results showed that SO 4 2- , PO 4 3- , and NO 3 - increased compared with the previous values. The domination of Ca2+, Mg2+, and HCO 3 - explains the influence of carbonate weathering on the major ion concentration. In general, pH and dissolved oxygen decreased with the depth of water-column, while electric conductivity, total dissolved solids, HCO 3 - , Cl-, H4SiO4, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, and Fe increased. Among the cations, the predominance of Ca2+ and Mg2+ as characterized by high (>0.6) (Ca2+ + Mg2+)/(Tz+) and (>0.8) (Ca2+ + Mg2+)/(Na+ + K+) equivalent ratios, also suggests prevalence of carbonate weathering. The low value of (Na+ + K+)/Tz+ ratio shows deficiency of Na+ and K+, suggesting low contribution of cations via aluminosilicate weathering. The C-ratio suggests a proton source derived both from oxidation of sulfide and dissolution and dissociation of atmospheric CO2 during different seasons. Though the major hydro-chemical parameters are within permissible limit, the increase in trophic state of the lake suggests that inherent biogeochemical processes make the limiting nutrients available, rendering eutrophic effect. Therefore, further comprehensive studies incorporating sediment–water interaction ought to be carried out to explain the ongoing phenomena and curb the eutrophication process in the lake.  相似文献

In this study, the physicochemical parameters (Conductivity, pH, Cl?, HCO 3 ? , PO 4 3? , SO 4 2? , NO 3 ? , NO 2 ? , F?, TH, Ca2+, K+, Mg2+, Na+, and DS) were determined for 41 samples collected from fourteen places in Algeria. The temperature of the thermal water samples at collection sites varied from 26°C to 86°C. pH values varied from 6.5 to 8.5 (i.e., from slightly acidic to moderately alkaline); 90.24% of the samples exhibited relatively high salinity (DS?=?550–5,500 mg L?1). Total hardness measurements indicated these waters to be moderately hard. Forty-six percent of the samples are Na–Cl in character. The ratios Na+/Ca2+, Na+/Mg2+, and (Na+ + K+)/(Ca2+ + Mg2+) were high in 90.24% of the samples. This indicates the ion exchange process is important, which indicates that most of the Algerian thermal waters had developed over a long period at a depth sufficient to react with the rock. Statistical analyses of the physicochemical data gave positive correlation values, thereby enabling good interpretation of the results and revealing the composition of ions present in the thermal waters, as well as some information about their origin. The therapeutic properties associated with thermal waters encourage people at spas to drink the water they bathe in. Therefore, we examined the drinkability of these thermal waters. World Health Organization (WHO 1993) standards were used to evaluate the thermal water quality for drinking. With respect to hardness, the samples were classified as moderately hard (58.54% of the samples), very hard (36.58% of the samples), and soft (4.88% of the samples). The drinkability study shows that only 16 samples of the investigated waters were drinkable and thus could be consumed without special precaution.  相似文献

Assessment of groundwater quality is essential to ensure sustainable use of it for drinking, agricultural, and industrial purposes. The chemical quality of groundwater of Gaya region has been studied in detail in this work to delineate the potable groundwater zones. A total of 30 groundwater samples and 2 surface water samples were collected in and around Gaya district of Bihar. The major cations follow the trend: Ca2+?>?Mg2+?>?Na+?>?K+. The domination of calcium ions in the groundwater is due to weathering of rocks. The K+ ranged between 0.2 and 47.95 ppm, suggesting its abundance the below desired limit; but some samples were found to be above permissible limit. K+ weathering of potash silicate and the use of potash fertilizer could be the source. The major anions abundance followed the order HCO 3 ? ?>?Cl??>?SO 4 2? ?>?NO 3 ? ?>?PO 4 3? . Dissolution of carbonates and reaction of silicates with carbonic acid accounts for the addition of HCO 3 ? to the groundwater and oxidation of sulphite may be the source of SO 4 2? . Principal component analysis was utilized to reflect those chemical data with the greatest correlation and seven major principal components (PCs) representing >80 % of cumulative variance were able to interpret the most information contained in the data. PC1, PC2 and PC3 reflect the hydrogeochemical processes like mineral dissolution, weathering and anthropogenic sources. PC4, PC5, PC6 and PC7 show monotonic, random and independent relationships.  相似文献

Hydrogeochemical studies have been carried out in a coastal region, using multivariate statistical model, for better understanding the controlling processes that influence the aquifer chemistry. Two principal components (PC1 and PC2) are extracted from the data set of chemical variables (pH, TDS, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, HCO 3 ? , Cl?, SO 4 2? , NO 3 ? and F?), which account for 79% of the total variation in the quality of groundwater. The PC1 (salinity controlled process) includes the concentrations of TDS, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cl?, SO 4 2? and NO 3 ? , while the PC2 (alkalinity controlled process) comprises the concentrations of pH, HCO 3 ? and F?. The spatial distribution of PC scores identifies the locations of high salinity and alkalinity processes. The first process corresponds to the influences of geogenic, anthropogenic and marine sources, and the second one to the influence of water-soil-rock interaction. Thus, the present study shows the usefulness of multivariate statistical model as an effective means of interpretation of spatial controlling processes of groundwater chemistry.  相似文献

Thirumanimuttar sub-basin is of particular importance in the study of groundwater quality due to the release of effluents from industries, agricultural, sewage and urban runoff, brining considerable change in water quality. An investigation was carried out by collecting a total of 194 groundwater samples for two seasons to decipher hydrogeochemistry and groundwater quality for determining its suitability for agricultural purposes. The water is neutral to alkaline in nature with pH ranging from 6.78 to 9.22 with an average of 7.37. Higher electrical conductivity (EC) was noted in NW and mid-downstream parts of the study area. Higher NO 3 ? was observed during post-monsoon (POM) due to the action of leaching and anthropogenic process. The piper plot reveals the dominance of Na+?CCl? and Na+?CHCO 3 ? , mixed Ca2+?CNa+?CHCO 3 ? , mixed Ca2+?CMg2+?CHCO 3 ? and Ca2+?CSO 4 ? types of hydrogeochemical facies. Higher total hardness in the groundwater is due to the effect of dyeing and bleaching industries discharging effluents affects the quality of water. Residual Sodium Carbonate value indicates 56% of the samples are not suitable for irrigation purposes in both seasons. Higher sodium percentage is noted during PRM indicating the dominance of ion exchange and weathering. Higher sodium adsorption ratio was observed during POM indicating the effect of leaching and dissolution of salts into the aquifer matrix. USSL plot indicates 15% of samples record high salinity to medium sodicity. The Permeability Index indicates water is moderate to good for irrigation purposes. In general, groundwater in the study area is influenced by both natural and anthropogenic activities.  相似文献

Hydrogeochemical investigations were carried out around Fetzara Lake, Northeast Algeria, to assess the quality of groundwater for its suitability for drinking and irrigation purposes. The groundwater chemistry is mainly controlled by the water?Crock interactions, but also influenced by other processes such as evapotranspiration and ion exchange. Groundwater samples collected, during two periods (1993 and 2007) from wells in the area were analyzed for pH, EC, TDS, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, CO 3 2? , HCO 3 ? , Cl?, SO 4 2? , and NO 3 ? . The chemical relationships in Piper??s diagram and Gibbs??s diagram suggest that groundwaters mainly belong to noncarbonate alkali type and Cl? group and are controlled by evaporation dominance, respectively, due to the sluggish drainage conditions, greater water?Crock interaction, and anthropogenic activities. A comparison of the groundwater quality in relation to drinking water quality standards proves that most of the water samples are not suitable for drinking. US Salinity Laboratory??s and Wilcox??s diagrams and %Na+ used for evaluating the water quality for irrigation suggest that the majority of the groundwater samples are not good for irrigation.  相似文献

A study on the geochemistry of groundwater was carried out in a river basin of Andhra Pradesh to probe into the spatial controlling processes of groundwater contamination, using principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA transforms the chemical variables, pH, EC, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, HCO \(_3^- \) , Cl?, SO \(_4^{2-} \) , NO \(_3^-\) and F?, into two orthogonal principal components (PC1 and PC2), accounting for 75% of the total variance of the data matrix. PC1 has high positive loadings of EC, Na+, Cl?, SO \(_4^{2-} \) , Mg2+ and Ca2+, representing a salinity controlled process of geogenic (mineral dissolution, ion exchange, and evaporation), anthropogenic (agricultural activities and domestic wastewaters), and marine (marine clay) origin. The PC2 loadings are highly positive for HCO \(_3^- \) , F?, pH and NO \(_3^- \) , attributing to the alkalinity and pollution controlled processes of geogenic and anthropogenic origins. The PC scores reflect the change of groundwater quality of geogenic origin from upstream to downstream area with an increase in concentration of chemical variables, which is due to anthropogenic and marine origins with varying topography, soil type, depth of water levels, and water usage. Thus, the groundwater quality shows a variation of chemical facies from Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+: HCO \(_3^- \) > Cl? > SO \(_4^{2-}>\) NO \(_3^- \) > F?at high topography to Na+ > Mg2+ > Ca2+ > K+: Cl? > HCO \(_3^- \) > SO \(_4^{2-}>\) NO \(_3^- \) > F? at low topography. With PCA, an effective tool for the spatial controlling processes of groundwater contamination, a subset of explored wells is indexed for continuous monitoring to optimize the expensive effort.  相似文献

An investigation on quality of groundwater has been carried out in the river basin of Varaha located in Visakhapatnam District, Andhra Pradesh to find out the factors that are responsible for spatial variations of water vulnerability. The study area is underlain by the Precambrian rocks of Eastern Ghats over which the Recent Formations occur. Groundwater is a prime source for drinking and irrigation. The quality of groundwater is fresh and brackish with dominance of the latter. Groundwater samples are categorized into two major clusters A and B, using the dendrogram of cluster analyses. Out of these two major clusters, five sub-clusters I to V in the pre-monsoon season and six sub-clusters I to VI in the post-monsoon season are identified. The sub-clusters I to IV of pre-monsoon and I to V of post-monsoon seasons of the cluster A are characterized by less mineralized groundwater compared to those of V of pre-monsoon and VI of post-monsoon seasons of the cluster B, which represent highly mineralized groundwater. The low to high mineral content follows gradually from upstream to the downstream area, being higher in post-monsoon season in both the clusters A and B, depending upon the source, mineral dissolution, and precipitation, solubility and leaching of ions, ion exchange and adsorption processes. Spatial distributions of the sub-clusters give clues to understand the factors that cause variations of groundwater vulnerability at a specific site, vis-a-vis local and regional lithological and non-lithological influences. As a result, the quality of groundwater on a regional scale changes from Na+ > Mg2+ >Ca2+ > K+: HCO 3 ? > Cl? > SO 4 2? > NO 3 ? > F? in the cluster A to Na+ > Mg2+ >Ca2+ > K+: Cl? > HCO 3 ? > SO 4 2? > NO 3 ? > F? in the cluster B, following the topography. The classification of the area into the zones of relative groundwater vulnerability with respect to drinking water quality of the chemical composition of the sub-clusters helps the planners to identify the specific locations, where the inferior quality of groundwater can occur, for taking the remedial measures.  相似文献

The hydrochemistry of Euphrates River in the study area which extended from Hit to Al-Saqlawia was studied in order to determine the physical, chemical, and biological properties in addition to the radiation level. Thirty-one stations along the Euphrates River were chosen, 17 of them represented the Euphrates River itself, whereas the other stations are considered as point pollution sources which all empty their load directly in the Euphrates River with an average total discharge of 32 m3/s. Twenty-eight samples of the Euphrates water of both high- and low-flow periods were analyzed for cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and K+), anions (SO 4 = , Cl?, CO 3 = , HCO 3 ? , NO 3 ? , PO 4 ?3 ), H2S boron, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, bacteriological tests, radiation levels in addition to physical parameters such as hydrogen number (pH), total dissolved solid, electrical conductivity, total suspended solid, and temperature. This study showed that the cations and anions during periods of high and low flows are within acceptable limit with exceptional Cl?. Hydrochemical formula during the high flow was Na-Ca-Mg-Cl-SO4, then it changed into Na-Ca-Mg-HCO3-SO4-Cl during the low-flow period. The average output cations and anions at downstream (Saqlawiya area) was relatively higher than those of input at upstream (Hit area); this attributed to the natural and anthropogenic activities originated mainly from agricultural activity and population communities around the river. Radiation level for 212Pb, 214Pb, 40k, 220Ac, and 214Bi showed that the higher level of radiation is concentrated within sediment rather than in water, but the radiation in both is within acceptable limit.  相似文献

The solubility of all possible Zn and Pb species in aqueous chloride fluids was evaluated by means of thermodynamic simulations in systems ZnO(PbO)-aqueous solution of NaCl (KCl, NaCl + HCl) within broad ranges of temperature (600–900°C), pressure (0.7–5 kbar), and chloride concentrations, under parameters corresponding to the crystallization and degassing of granitoid magmas in the Earth’s crust. Our simulation results demonstrate that the addition of Cl to the fluid phase in the form of Na(K)Cl and HCl significantly increases the concentrations of Cl-bearing Zn and Pb complexes and the total concentration of the metals in the solutions in equilibrium with the solid oxides. In Zn-bearing fluids, the Zn(OH) 2 0 , ZnOH+, and Zn(OH) 3 ? —hydroxyl complexes and the ZnCl 2 0 , and ZnCl+ chlorocomplexes, which are predominant at low Cl concentrations (CCl < 0.05–0.1 m) give way to ZnCl 4 2? with increasing CCl, which becomes the predominant Zn species of the fluid at CCl > 0.1–0.5 m throughout the whole temperature range in question and pressures higher than 1 kbar. For Pb-bearing fluids, the T-P-X region dominated by the Pb(OH) 2 0 , and Pb(OH) 3 ? hydroxyl complexes is remarkably wider than the analogous region for Zn, particularly at elevated temperatures (≥700°C) in alkaline solutions. An increase in CCl is associated with an increase in the concentration and changes in the speciation of Pb chlorocomplexes: PbCl 2 0 → PbCl 3 ? → PbCl 4 2? . The concentrations of Zn and Pb chlorocomplexes increase with increasing pressure, decreasing temperature, and decrease pH with the addition of HCl to the system. It is demonstrated that the solubility of ZnO at any given T-P-X in alkaline solutions with low chloride concentrations are lower than the solubility of PbO. The Zn concentration increases more significantly than with the Pb concentration with increasing CCl and decreasing pH, so that the Zn concentration in acidic solutions is higher than the Pb concentration over broad ranges of temperature, pressure, and Cl concentration. Chloride complexes of Zn (ZnCl 2 0 , and ZnCl 4 2? ) and Pb (PbCl 2 0 , and PbCl 3 ? are proved to be predominant within broad T-P-X-pH ranges corresponding to the parameters under which magmatic fluid are generated. Our simulation results confirm the hypothesis that chlorocomplexes play a leading role in Zn and Pb distribution between aqueous chloride fluids and granitic melts. These simulation results are consistent with experimental data on the Zn and Pb distribution coefficients (D(Zn)f/m and D(Pb)f/m, respectively) between aqueous chloride fluids and granitic melts that demonstrated that (1) D(Zn)f/m and D(Pb)f/m increase with increasing Na and K chloride concentrations in the aqueous fluid, (2) both D(Zn)f/m and D(Pb)f/m drastically increase when HCl is added to the fluid, and (3) (D(Zn)f/m is higher than D(Pb)f/m at any given T-P-X parameters. The experimentally established decrease in D(Zn)f/m and D(Pb)f/m with increasing pressure (at unchanging temperature and Cl concentration) is likely explained by an increase in the alkalinity of the aqueous chloride fluid in equilibrium with granite melt and, correspondingly, a decrease in the Zn and Pb solubility in this fluid.  相似文献

Groundwater, surface water, soil and river sediment samples, and information on land use in the Nanfei River basin (NRB) of China have been analyzed to study the geochemistry, distribution, and mobilization of phosphorus. The distribution of phosphate (PO 4 3??/sup> ) and the relationships between PO 4 3??/sup> and several constituents in groundwater were studied. Partial correlation analysis relating PO 4 3??/sup> to types of land use was conducted using the data analyzing tool SPSS 15.0. The processes controlling the transport of PO 4 3??/sup> are discussed. The conclusions from this study are: (1) urban land use has obvious impact on PO 4 3??/sup> in groundwater, the average concentration of PO 4 3??/sup> being 4.37?mg/L, greater than that resulting from farmland and mixed land use, which have average PO 4 3??/sup> concentrations of 0.10 and 0.18?mg/L, respectively; (2) the partial correlation between PO 4 3??/sup> and types of land use is significant with a coefficient of 0.760; (3) the PO 4 3??/sup> concentrations in surface water are generally higher than those in groundwater, and the total phosphorus (TP) concentrations in river sediments are generally higher than those in soil samples; (4) groundwater is a carrier of PO 4 3??/sup> and is likely responsible for the redistribution of PO 4 3??/sup> in different regions of NRB.  相似文献

An experimental study of the particulars of the solubility and crystallization of brushite Ca(HPO4) · 2H2O from aqueous solution in conditions of a variable pH (6.0–3.0) and the contents of impurity ions (K+, Na+, NH 4 + , Mg2+, SO 4 2? , CO 3 2? ) has been conducted. It is established that brushite solubility markedly rises with a decrease in pH from 6 to 3 and slightly rises with an increase in Mg2+ and SO 4 2? concentrations. The enrichment in K+, Na+, and NH 4 + does not affect brushite solubility. The changeable chemistry of the medium results in variation of the synthetic crystal habit, from rhombic tabular to thickened prismatic crystals.  相似文献

El Shalal-Kema area is located east of Aswan town and Nile River. The Quaternary sediments (unconsolidated material of sands, gravels, and clays intercalation) represent the main aquifer in the studied area. Its water is under unconfined condition, and the water table is shallow (vary from 7.5 to 16.3 m). The concerned aquifer is recharged mainly from Aswan Dam Lake, from the excess irrigation water and from septic tanks, where the area is not served by sewage system. The direction of the groundwater movement is generally from south to north. The transmissivity values of the Quaternary aquifer (from three pumping tests) are relatively high (vary from 1,996 to 3,029 m2/day). The exploitation of groundwater is carried out where there is continuous withdrawal for industrial and domestic uses with a total average quantity of groundwater of 71,304 m3 per day (25.67 million m3 per year). The hydrochemical characteristics of the Quaternary aquifer is studied based on the chemical analysis of 29 groundwater and four surface water samples collected from different sites. The chemical composition of the groundwater is dominated by calcium Ca2+ from the cations and bicarbonate (HCO 3 ? ) from the anions, and the order of cation abundance is Ca2+ > Na+ > Mg2+ > K+ and HCO 3 ? > SO 4 2? > Cl? among the anions. The groundwater types are normal chloride water, normal sulfate water, and normal carbonate water. The hypothetical salt combination revealed the presence of different salts arranged in terms of their predominant as Ca(HCO3)2, Mg(HCO3)2, NaCl, Na2SO4, MgSO4, KCL, NaHCO3, MgCl2, CaSO4, and K2SO4. The analytical measurements to the NO2 and NH3 reveal that their values decrease in summer and increase in winter due to the stoppage of pumping which leads to the increase of the wastewater quantities that reach the groundwater. The chemical and microbiological analyses show that the aquifer in this area is contaminated with fecal and disease-causing bacteria. The main cause of this contamination is the outflow from the septic tanks; therefore, the construction of sewage network is a vital solution. Chlorination is important to disinfect the groundwater at the tanks before its distribution to the houses.  相似文献

Electric dipole polarizabilities have been calculated from first principles of quantum mechanics for the BO 3 3? , CO 3 2? , NO 3 ? series and for NO 2 ? and LiNO3(g). Calculated trends in average polarizability and polarizability anisotropy in the BO 3 3? -NO 3 ? series are in agreement with experiment and can be qualitatively interpreted in terms of the varying energies of the a1′, a2″ and e′ symmetry unoccupied MO's of the oxyanions. Embedding a CO 3 2? ion in a D3h symmetry array of divalent cations reduces both the average polarizability and its anisotropy, particularly when diffuse s and p functions are included in the calculation. Calculations on the gas phase LiNO3 molecule and on the free NO 3 ? ion in the distorted geometry found in LiNO3(g) allow us to separate polarizability contributions internal to the NO 3 ? and Li+ ions from those which arise from the Li+-NO 3 ? interaction. The Li+-NO 3 ? interaction term so obtained is much smaller than the NO 3 ? contribution but is in turn larger than the Li+ contribution, suggesting that the inclusion of this interaction term is essential for obtaining accurate results for ion pairs. Although static polarizabilities are in reasonable agreement with experiment for NO 3 ? the wavelength dispersion of the polarizability is underestimated by about a factor of two, apparently as a result of inadequacies in the quantum mechanical method. Calculated values are also presented for 14N NMR shieldings in the nitrogen oxyanions but these are in only qualitative agreement with the experimental values. Similarly, calculated values of magnetic susceptibility are in only qualitative agreement with experiment although trends along the BO 3 3? -NO 3 ? series are properly reproduced.  相似文献

The Xihuashan tungsten deposit (South Jiangxi, China) is located on the border of a granitic stock composed of four intrusive units: γ inf2a sup5 , γ inf2b sup5 , γ inf2c sup5 and γ inf2e sup5 chronologically. The deposit is situated in γ inf2a sup5 and γ inf2b sup5 whose contact zone is marked by a stockscheider and by a sporadic fine-grained granite designated γ inf2b′ sup5 . The feldspathic episyenitic veins or masses located mainly in γ inf2b sup5 resulted from granite alteration. This alteration characterizes the fluid activity which followed previous mechanical action, remnant liquids draining under structural control. The quartz-bearing Xihuashan veins (Dayu mining district) are a typical wolframite-quartz vein deposit and have developed mainly in γ inf2b sup5 . The density of the veins and the huge mineralizations in γ inf2b sup5 can be explained by the carapace role played by γ inf2a sup5 , γ inf2b′ sup5 and the stockscheider. The deposit is formed by 615 economically valuable veins (medium grade: 1,08% in WO3) characterized by four stages of mineralization; a reverse vertical zoning is generally observed. Thus, the Xihuashan tungsten deposit possesses a metallogenic value contributing to the comprehension of metallogenic and structural phenomena related to the evolution of granitic masses.  相似文献

Absorption bands are determined in polarized optical spectra of vivianite Fe3(PO4)2·8H2O, recorded at room and low temperatures. These bands are caused by spin-allowed d-d transitions in structurally nonequivalent Fe A 2+ (～11000 cm-1 (γ-polarization) (and) ～12000 cm-1 (β-polarization)) (and) Fe B 2+ (～8400 cm-1 (γ, α-polarization) and ～11200 cm-1 (α-polarization)) ions. A charge transfer band (CTB) Fe B 2+ +Fe B 3+ →Fe B 2+ +Fe B 2+ (～15000 cm-1) also determined, has polarizing features giving evidence of a change in the Fe B 2+ -Fe B 3+ bond direction, when compared with Fe B 2+ -Fe B 2+ . Bands of exchange-coupled Fe3+-Fe3+ pairs (～19400, ～20400, ～21300 and ～21700 cm-1) which appear on oxidation of Fe2+ in paired Fe B octahedra are also characterized.  相似文献

A hydrogeochemical study was conducted in the Gunung Sewu Karst, Java Island, Indonesia. The main objective of this study is to describe the spatial and temporal variations of hydrochemistry that occur in the central and western parts of Gunung Sewu. Discharge measurements for a one-year period are taken in some karst springs or underground rivers to define their discharge hydrograph. Furthermore, baseflow separation analysis was conducted to determine the base flow percentage throughout the year. Water sampling for hydrogeochemical analysis was taken every month to represent the dry and rainy season conditions. To describe the hydrogeochemical processes, a scatter plot analysis with a small sample size was conducted. The results showed that the hydrochemistry of karst water in the study area has different characteristics spatially and temporally. Within the dry season, the dominant hydrogeochemical process is water–rock interaction (precipitation of calcite mineral), indicated by achieving the maximum level of Ca2+, HCO3 ?, electrical conductivity, base flow percentage, and SI calcite, with the lowest level of log \(P_{{{\text{CO}}_{2} }}\) in the water. In addition, the dry season hydrochemistry is characterized by a strong relationship between electrical conductivity–calcium/bicarbonate, base flow percentage-discharge, base flow percentage-SI calcite, and SI calcite-log \(P_{{{\text{CO}}_{2} }}\). Spatially, the different level of correlations between these parameters depended on the sampling location, flow recharge, and the conduit development. Conversely, in the rainy season, the hydrogeochemical process shifted from water–rock interaction to dilution of rainwater as a result of rain water supply through a conduit system channel, which is characterized by declining Ca2+, HCO3 ?, electrical conductivity, base flow percentage, and SI calcite, with the highest level of log \(P_{{{\text{CO}}_{2} }}\) in the water. The dilution of rainwater process also caused a decline in the correlation of some hydrogeochemical parameters.  相似文献

One hundred forty-eight groundwater samples were collected from the lower part of Wadi Siham catchment area for hydrogeochemical investigations to understand the hydrogeochemical processes affecting groundwater chemistry and their relation with groundwater quality. Groundwater in the study area is abstracted from different aquifers. The study area is characterized by arid climate and extremely high relative humidity. The results indicate that groundwater in the study area is fresh to brackish in nature. The abundance of the major ions is as follows: Na+1?>?Ca+2?>?Mg+2?≥?K+1 and Cl?1?>?HCO 3 ?1 ?>?SO 4 ?2 ?>?NO 3 ?1 . Various graphical and ionic ration plots, statistical analyses, and saturation indices calculations have been carried out using chemical data to deduce a hydrochemical evaluation of the study area. The prevailing hydrogeochemical processes operating in the study area are dissolution, mixing, evaporation, ion exchange, and weathering of silicate minerals in the eastern part (recharge areas). The reverse ion exchange and seawater intrusion control the groundwater chemistry along the Red Sea coast areas and few parts of the study area. Deterioration in groundwater quality from anthropogenic activities has resulted from saltwater intrusion along the coastal areas due to groundwater overpumping and extensive use of fertilizers and infiltration of sewage water. Salinity and nitrate contamination are the two major problems in the area, which is alarming considering the use of this water for drinking.  相似文献

The leaching processes along the flow path and over abstraction of the alluvial aquifer, the principal aquifer in delta Tokar, by the agricultural and domestic sectors and natural factors, have led to its salinization which may be due to interaction between geological formations and adjacent brackish and saline water bodies as well as seawater transgression. The main objectives of this study are to assess the hydrochemical characteristics of the groundwater and to delineate the locations and the sources of aquifer salinization. Water samples in the project area were chemically analyzed for major cations and anions at the laboratory by the standard analytical procedures. Chemical data and water level measurements were manipulated using GIS techniques for hydro chemical and flow direction maps and piper diagram for chemical facies and SPSS software for statistical analyses such as basic statistics (mean and standard deviation) and Spearman’s correlation matrix. The general flow direction of the groundwater is from Southwest towards East and Northeast. The hydraulic gradient is relatively steeper at the apex of the delta (0.06) and amounts to 0.005 at the distal part of the delta. The average transmissivity value of the water bearing formations was found to be about 4.5?×?103 m2/s, whereas, the storage coefficient was about 0.28. A hydrochemical study identified the locations and the sources of aquifer salinization and delineated their areas of influence. The investigation indicates that the aquifer water quality is significantly modified as groundwater flows from the southwestern parts of the study area, where the aquifer receives its water by lateral underflow from Khor Baraka flood plain, to the central and northeastern parts, with few exceptions of scattered anomalous concentration pockets in the deltaic plain. Significant correlation between TDS and/or EC with the major components of Na+, Cl?, and SO 4 ?2 ions is an indication of seawater influence on the groundwater salinity. Moreover, Cl?, SO 4 2? , and Na+ are predominant ions followed by Ca2+ and HCO 3 ? . Hence, four types of groundwater can be chemically distinguished: Na–Ca–SO4–Cl– facies, Na–Cl–SO4–HCO3– facies, Na–Ca–Mg–SO4–Cl–HCO3 facies, and Na–Ca–Mg–Cl–SO4 facies. The processes that govern changes in groundwater composition as revealed by chemical and statistical analyses are mainly associated with over-abstraction, biodegradation, marine intrusions, and carbonate saturation.  相似文献

The chemistry of soil solutions can be altered by human activities, due to the intense agricultural and husbandry, leading to leaching of nutrients and subsequently elevating ground water levels. Multivariate statistical and inverse geochemical modeling techniques were used to determine the main factors controlling soil solution chemistry of calcareous soils. In this research, a total of 21 calcareous soils was characterized and assessed for soil solution using soil column. The major cations in the studied soil solutions were in the decreasing order as Ca2+ > Mg2+ > Na+ > K+. The anions were also arranged in decreasing order as HCO $ _{3}^{ - } $  > Cl $ ^{ - } $  > SO $ _{4}^{2 - } $  > NO $ _{3}^{ - } $ . Concentrations of NO $ _{3}^{ - } $ , P, and K+ in soil solutions were in the range of 6.8–307.5 mg l?1 (mean 63.2 mg l?1), 5.0–10.4 mg l?1 (mean 5.9 mg l?1), and 2.8–54.6 mg l?1 (mean 11.3 mg l?1), respectively. Results suggest that the concentration of P in the soil solutions could be primarily controlled by the solubility of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate and dicalcium phosphate. Interactions between soil properties and observed solubility of nutrients were described, and put into empirical multivariate formulations. Obtained equations contained electrical conductivity (EC) as a key factor in determining nutrients solubility. Inverse geochemical modeling of soil solution using PHREEQC indicates the dissolution of calcite, anhydrite, halite, CO2 (g), N2 (g), and hydroxyapatite, and precipitation of sulfur. Cation exchange between Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and Na+ occurred with Mg2+ and K+ into the solution, and Ca2+ and Na+ out of the solution. Determination of soil solution will improve soil management in the area, and preventing groundwater deterioration.  相似文献
