Figeh watershed spring is one of the important groundwater aquifer, which is considered a major source for drinking waters
of Damascus city and countryside. The origin identification and recharge estimates of groundwater are significant components
of sustainable groundwater development in this Mountain karst aquifer of Figeh spring. During the period 2001–2009, monthly
groundwater and precipitation samples were taken and the isotopic compositions of δ 18O, δ 2H, and chloride contents were analyzed to identify groundwater origins and to estimate recharge rates. The δ 18O, δ 2H of the groundwater show that the groundwater recharge is of meteoric origin. The chloride mass balance (CMB) method was
used to quantify recharge rates of groundwater in the Mountain karst aquifer of Figeh spring. The recharge rate varies from
192 to 826 mm/year, which corresponds to 43 and 67% of the total annual rainfall. Recharge rates estimated by CMB were compared
with values obtained from other methods and were found to be in good agreement. This study can be used to develop effective
programs for groundwater management and development. 相似文献

Total dissolved inorganic carbon (TDIC) and its stable isotope ratio δ 13C TDIC are used to trace the evolution of the carbon system of groundwater in three UK Permo-Triassic sandstone aquifers. Samples
were collected from multilevel piezometers, open boreholes and sewer sampling points in the British Midlands (Nottingham,
Birmingham and Doncaster) to evaluate both local and regional variations in δ 13C TDIC. δ 13C samples of matrix and pore water have also been analysed in each aquifer to further constrain the interpretations. Combining
δ 13C TDIC ratios with measurements of TDIC and pH clearly distinguishes the principal processes underlying the geochemical evolution
of groundwater in Triassic sandstone aquifers, where processes can be both natural (e.g. carbonate dissolution) and anthropogenic
(sewer-derived recharge). The paper shows that δ 13C TDIC resolves ambiguities that arise from the interpretation of TDIC and pH measurements in isolation. Field measurements demonstrate
that, under natural conditions, the carbonate system evolves similarly in each aquifer. An open-system evolution during recharge
largely saturates the groundwater with carbonate depending upon its availability in the sandstone matrix. The contribution
of sewer exfiltration to urban recharge is readily distinguished by lower pH and higher TDIC values without significant changes
in δ 13C TDIC. 相似文献

Stable isotopes (δ 18O, δ 2H and 13C) and radioactivity ( 3H, 14C) have been used in conjunction with chemical data to evaluate the processes generating the chemical composition, reconstruct
the origin of the water and groundwater residence time. The Aleppo basin is comprised of two main limestone aquifers: the
first one is unconfined of Paleogene age and the second is confined of Upper Cretaceous age. The chemical data indicate that
the dissolution of minerals and evaporation are the main processes controlling groundwater mineralization. The groundwater
from the two aquifers is characterized by distinctive stable isotope signatures. This difference in water isotopes is interpreted
in terms of difference origin and recharge period. Fresh and brackish shallow groundwater were mostly recharged during the
Holocene period. The presence of 3H in several groundwater samples of this aquifer gives evidence that groundwater recharge is going on. Brackish water of the
deep confined aquifer has depleted stable isotope composition and very low 14C activity that indicates recharge during the late Pleistocene cold period. 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–HCO 3 type is a chemically evolved equivalent of surface waters and rain water with Ca–Mg–Cl–SO 4 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 δ 18O/100 m, but the springs which were recharged at 452, 679, and 773 m asl show enrichment of δ 18O 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 NO 3
−. 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 Najd, Oman, is located in one of the most arid environments in the world. The groundwater in this region is occurring in four different aquifers A to D of the Hadhramaut Group consisting mainly of different types of limestone and dolomite. The quality of the groundwater is dominated by the major ions sodium, calcium, magnesium, sulphate, and chloride, but the hydrochemical character is varying among the four aquifers. Mineralization within the separate aquifers increases along the groundwater flow direction from south to north-northeast up to high saline sodium-chloride water in aquifer D in the northeast area of the Najd. Environmental isotope analyses of hydrogen and oxygen were conducted to monitor the groundwater dynamics and to evaluate the recharge conditions of groundwater into the Najd aquifers. Results suggest an earlier recharge into these aquifers as well as ongoing recharge takes place in the region down to present day. Mixing of modern and submodern waters was detected by water isotopes in aquifer D in the mountain chain (Jabal) area and along the northern side of the mountain range. In addition, δ 2H and δ 18O variations suggest that aquifers A, B, and C are assumed to be connected by faults and fractures, and interaction between the aquifers may occur. Low tritium concentrations support the mixing assumption in the recharge area. The knowledge about the groundwater development is an important factor for the sustainable use of water resources in the Dhofar region. 相似文献

Dar-es-Salaam City gets water supply from surface water and groundwater. The groundwater is used to supplement surface water
supply and has increasingly become a major source of water supply in the city. The study area comprises three major parts:
the central coastal plain with quaternary fluvial–deltaic sediments, the deltaic Mio-Pliocene clay-bound sands and gravels
in the northwest and southeast and the Lower Miocene fluviatile sandstones of Pugu Hills in the west of the study area. The
main objective of this study was to quantify the integrated water balance. The major source of renewable groundwater in the
aquifer is rainfall. Hence, the average recharge of 256.2 mm/year (for the year 2006) to the aquifer was estimated using the
balance method of Thornthwaite and Mather, which is equal to 99.4 hm 3/year for the whole alluvial aquifer. This value was balanced with total groundwater abstraction of 8.59 hm 3/year, baseflow to rivers of 75.7 hm 3/year and discharge into the sea (15.11 hm 3/year). 相似文献

Despite its extreme aridity, the Ordos Basin in northern China is rich in groundwater. Many artesian wells or springs with
large fluxes are utilized for drinking, irrigation and industrial production. In a search for the origin of the groundwater,
a detailed investigation of the stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen in the local precipitation, the river water, the springs,
the well water, as well as the soil water extracted from six soil profiles in the Ordos Basin, was carried out. The data show
that δD, δ 18O and TDS values of the river water are similar to those of groundwater, while the TDS values of the soil water are about
ten times greater than those of groundwater. Furthermore, the mean isotopic compositions of the local precipitation are significantly
higher than those of river water and groundwater. Based on the chloride mass balance method, the estimated recharge rates
range from 5.2 to 17.2 mm/year, with a mean value of 10.5 mm/year. The results show that the main source of recharge of the
groundwater in the Ordos Basin is not the local precipitation, but must come from a region where the precipitation is characterized
by much lower δD and δ 18O values. In addition, the groundwater in the Ordos Basin contains a component of mantle-derived 3He and crust-derived 4He suggesting that the groundwater may partly derive from flows through basement faults beneath the Ordos Basin. 相似文献

A study of environmental chloride and groundwater balance has been carried out in order to estimate their relative value for
measuring average groundwater recharge under a humid climatic environment with a relatively shallow water table. The hybrid
water fluctuation method allowed the split of the hydrologic year into two seasons of recharge (wet season) and no recharge
(dry season) to appraise specific yield during the dry season and, second, to estimate recharge from the water table rise
during the wet season. This well elaborated and suitable method has then been used as a standard to assess the effectiveness
of the chloride method under forest humid climatic environment. Effective specific yield of 0.08 was obtained for the study
area. It reflects an effective basin-wide process and is insensitive to local heterogeneities in the aquifer system. The hybrid
water fluctuation method gives an average recharge value of 87.14 mm/year at the basin scale, which represents 5.7% of the
annual rainfall. Recharge value estimated based on the chloride method varies between 16.24 and 236.95 mm/year with an average
value of 108.45 mm/year. It represents 7% of the mean annual precipitation. The discrepancy observed between recharge value
estimated by the hybrid water fluctuation and the chloride mass balance methods appears to be very important, which could
imply the ineffectiveness of the chloride mass balance method for this present humid environment. 相似文献

Karst groundwater is one of the important water resources for people in the world. There is an estimate that by 2028 karst
groundwater will supply more than 80% of people in the world. However, several areas in the world are characterized by high
nitrate concentrations in karst aquifers. In China, karst groundwater is also threatened by extensive use of fertilizer and
pesticides, industry waste, septic systems and poultry, hog or cattle manure. In order to understand the water quality of
a subterranean river in south China, especially the dynamic variation of nitrate, nitrogen input and output were determined
via auto-monitored apparatus, manual observation and samples from 2004 to 2008 in Guancun subterranean river drainage area.
Land use and anthropogenic activities were also investigated frequently. The results showed the range of nitrate variation
was 2.56–15.40 mg l −1, with an average value of 6.60 mg l −1. Spatial variation of nitrate concentrations showed nitrate rose where there were villages and agriculture distribution.
Long series of nitrate and discharge monitoring revealed there was a nitrate peak in spring just before the beginning of rainy
season. Three rainfall events were selected for analysis of relations among hydrological process, water chemistry, and nitrate
of the spring. The flood processes of the spring were divided into three or four phases according to change of water level
and water chemistry. They were dominated by initial condition of aquifer, piston flow in soil and vadose, piston flow in conduit,
diffuse recharge, and bypass recharge. The original condition of aquifer and rainfall pulse controlled recharge flow and changes
of nitrate and hydro-chemical graphs of the spring. The quantity of nitrogen input in a year was 66.61 t, and the output was
21.24 t. Nitrogen leaching loss in base flow accounted for 76.11% in a year. Some measures should be taken to protect karst
water in the very near future, so that health risks to the local people can be decreased. 相似文献

The present work was conducted in the Sinai Peninsula (1) to identify the recharge and flow characteristics and to evaluate
the continuity of the Lower Cretaceous Nubian Sandstone aquifer; and (2) to provide information for the aquifer's rational
appraisal. Isotopic and hydrochemical compositions combined with the geological and hydrogeological settings were used for
this purpose.
A considerable depletion in isotopic content (oxygen-18 and deuterium) and low d-excess values exist in the studied groundwater,
reflecting the contribution of old meteoric water that recharged the aquifer in pluvial times. Modern recharge also occurs
from precipitation that falls on the aquifer outcrops. The wide scatter of the data points around the two meteoric lines,
the global meteoric water line (GMWL) and Mediterranean meteoric water line (MMWL), in the δ 18O–δD diagram indicates considerable variation in recharge conditions (amount, altitude, temperature, air masses, distances
from catchment, overland flow, etc.). The isotopic composition in the El-Bruk area is minimum ( 18O=–9.53‰), very close to the average value of the Western Desert Nubian Sandstone ( 18O=–10‰), where the local structural and lithologic conditions retard groundwater flow and the main bulk of water becomes noncyclic.
The continuity of the aquifer in northern and central Sinai is evidenced by the isotopic similarity between samples taken
from above and below the central Sinai Ragabet El-Naam fault, the distribution of potentiometric head, and hydrogeological
cross sections.
The combination of isotopic composition in terms of 18O and chemical composition in terms of TDS and salt contents is the basis for separating the studied groundwater into groups
that reflect the recharge sources and isotopic and chemical modifications during flow.

In the Djerid-Nefzaoua region, southern Tunisia, about 80% of agricultural and domestic water supply is provided by the complex terminal (CT) aquifer. However, 20% of this demand is provided by other hydraulically connected aquifers, namely the continental intercalaire (CI) and the Plio-Quaternary (PQ). Overexploitation of the CT aquifer for agricultural practices has contributed to the loss of the artesian condition and the decline of groundwater level which largely increased the downward leakage from the shallow PQ aquifer. Excess irrigation water concentrates at different rates in the irrigation channels and in the PQ aquifer itself. Then, it returns to the CT aquifer and mixes with water from the regional flow system, which contributes to the salinization of the CT groundwater. A geochemical and isotopic study had been undertaken over a 2-years period in order to investigate the origin of waters pumped from the CT aquifer with an emphasis on its hydraulic relationships with the underlying and the overlying CI and PQ aquifers. Geochemistry indicates that groundwater samples collected from different wells show an evolution of the water types from Na-Cl to Ca-SO 4-Cl. Dissolution of halite, gypsum and anhydrite-bearing rocks is the main mechanism that leads to the salinization of the groundwater. Isotopic data indicate the old origin of all groundwater in the aquifer system. Mixing and evaporation effects characterizing the CT and the PQ aquifers were identified using δ 2H and δ 18O relationship and confirmed by the conjunction of δ 2H with chloride concentration. 相似文献

Large-scale interaction between the Continental Intercalaire and the Djeffara aquifer systems in the southeast of Tunisia
has been investigated with the aid of chemical and isotopic tracers. Two distinct groundwater types have been identified:
(1) the Continental Intercalaire groundwater characterized by elevated temperatures (50–61.4°C), low δ 18O (−8.4 to−7.87) and δ 2H (−67.2 to−59) values and negligible radiocarbon content, both testifying its great age dating from the late Pleistocene
period, and (2) the Djeffara groundwater with distinctly heavier isotopic composition (δ 18O = −8.31 to −5.80, δ 2H = −65.9 to −31.9). The Djeffara groundwaters reveal a distinct changes of physico-chemical and isotopic parameters near
El Hamma Faults in the northwestern part of the Djeffara basin. These changes could possibly be explained by a vertical leakage
from the Continental Intercalaire aquifer through El Hamma Faults. The mixing proportions inferred from stable isotope mass
balance prove that the contribution of the Continental Intercalaire to the recharge of Djeffara aquifer is very significant
and may reach 100% in the El Hamma region and in the northern part of Gabes. Isotope tracers strongly suggest that recent
recharge to the Djeffara aquifer system is very limited. Its current yield, particularly in its central and northern parts
can be maintained only thanks to large-scale underground inflow from the Continental Intercalaire aquifer system, which carries
late Pleistocene palaeowater. Consequently, current exploitation of groundwater resources of the Djeffara aquifer has non-sustainable
character. 相似文献

A total number of 328 groundwater samples are analysed to evaluate the groundwater flow systems in Bengal Delta aquifers,
Bangladesh using environmental isotope ( 2H, 18O, 13C, 3H, and 14C) techniques. A well-defined Local Meteoric Water Line (LMWL) δ 2H = 7.7 δ 18O + 10.7 ‰ is constructed applying linear correlation analyses to the monthly weighted rainfall isotopic compositions (δ 18O and δ 2H). The δ 18O and δ 2H concentrations of all groundwater samples in the study area are plotted more or less over the LMWL, which provides compelling
evidence that all groundwaters are derived from rainfall and floodwater with a minor localized evaporation effects for the
shallow groundwaters. Tritium concentration is observed in 40 samples out of 41 with values varying between 0.3 and 5.0 TU,
which represents an evidence of young water recharge to the shallow and intermediate aquifers. A decreasing trend of 14C activity is associated with the heavier δ 13C values, which indicates the presence of geochemical reactions affecting the 14C concentration along the groundwater flow system. Both vertical and lateral decrease of 14C activity toward down gradient show the presence of regional groundwater flow commencing from the unconfined aquifers, which
discharges along the coastal regions. Finally, shallow, intermediate, and deep groundwater flow dynamics has revealed in the
Bengal Delta aquifers, Bangladesh. 相似文献

Groundwater is of utmost significance to socio-economic development and ecological recovery for the Loess Plateau. However,
studies regarding the mechanism governing groundwater recharge over this area appear to be inadequate. This study is to examine
the spatio-temporal variations of δ 2H and δ 18O in precipitation and shallow groundwater. On the basis of this, the mechanisms governing shallow groundwater recharge were
explored. Precipitation and groundwater were sampled monthly from May to October during the period 2004–2006 at 13 sites in
the Chabagou Catchment (187 km 2). In the Caopingxigou Experimental Watershed (0.1 km 2), meteorological variables were observed and rainfall larger than 5 mm was sampled immediately after each rain event. Across
the area, 90% of the precipitation occurred from May to September primarily in the form of heavy rains or rainstorms with
great spatial variability. There were about 30 localized rains in each year. It was indicated that there existed notable seasonality
and pronounced spatial variability in precipitation isotopic compositions. Contributing factors and indications of isotopic
compositions, as well as their climatic indications such as monsoon intensities and mixing processes of water vapor, were
investigated. The δ 2H–δ 18O relation of groundwater was found to be δ 2H = 3.22 × δ 18O − 38.1, deviating from the local meteoric water line δ 2H = 7.57 × δ 18O + 3.9. The range of δ values in groundwater is shrunken to be 15–21% of that in individual precipitations, and groundwater in the middle reaches
shows a wider range of δ values. Isotopic results showed that groundwater originates from precipitation with hydrogen and oxygen isotopic compositions
being −69 and −9.7‰, respectively, and most groundwater experiences serious evaporation and adequate mixing with old water
during infiltration or percolation in the aerated zone. It was also founded that obvious fluctuations of isotopic compositions
in groundwater mainly appear in the middle reaches especially at sites that are close to valleys, suggesting varying sources
of groundwater from precipitation, precipitation runoff, isotopically enriched surface water and/or lateral recharge of adjacent
groundwater. 相似文献

Major ion geochemistry and environmental isotopes were used to identify the origins and the mineralisation processes of groundwater
flowing within the three aquifer levels of the multilayer system of the Gafsa-south mining district (Southwestern Tunisia).
It has been demonstrated that groundwaters are characterised by a Ca–Mg–SO 4 water type. Geochemical pattern is mainly controlled by the dissolution of halite, gypsum and/or anhydrite as well as by
the incongruent dissolution of dolomite. δ 18O and δ 2H values are much lower than the isotopic signature of regional precipitation and fall close to the meteoric water lines,
indicating that groundwaters have not been significantly affected by evaporation or mineral–water reactions. The distribution
of stable and radiogenic isotopes (δ 18O, δ 2H, δ 13C and 14C) within the aquifer levels suggests that the deep confined aquifer receives a significant modern recharge at higher altitudes,
while, the shallow unconfined aquifer has been mainly recharged under cooler paleoclimatic condition, likely during Late Pleistocene
and Early Holocene humid periods. However, waters from the intermediate confined/unconfined aquifer have composite isotopic
signatures, highlighting that they are derived from a mixture of the two first end-members. 相似文献

A hydrochemical investigation was conducted in the Ejina Basin to identify the hydrochemical characteristics and the salinity
of groundwater. The results indicate that groundwater in the area is brackish and are significantly zonation in salinity and
water types from the recharge area to the discharge area. The ionic ration plot and saturation index (SI) calculation suggest
that the silicate rock weathering and evaporation deposition are the dominant processes that determine the major ionic composition
in the study area. Most of the stable isotope δ 18O and δD compositions in the groundwater is a meteoric water feature, indicating that the groundwater mainly sources from
meteoric water and most groundwater undergoes a long history of evaporation. Based on radioactive isotope tritium ( 3H) analysis, the groundwater ages were approximately estimated in different aquifers. The groundwater age ranges from less
than 5 years, between 5 years and 50 years, and more than 50 years. Within 1 km of the river water influence zone, the groundwater
recharges from recent Heihe river water and the groundwater age is about less than 5 years in shallow aquifer. From 1 km to
10 km of the river water influence zone, the groundwater sources from the mixture waters and the groundwater age is between
5 years and 50 years in shallow aquifer. The groundwater age is more than 50 years in deep confined aquifer. 相似文献

Groundwater recharge has become a method to prevent the expansion of land subsidence. A groundwater pumping–recharge test in Cangzhou city, Hebei Province (China), is taken as a representative example in order to monitor the changes in borehole water levels and land subsidence. The aquifer system consists of three main confined aquifers interspersed with silt and clays. Based on the lithology, the test and the Biot consolidation theory, a three-dimensional fully coupled numerical model is established to analyse the influence of groundwater recharge on the seepage field and displacement field. The results show that, due to recharge of the deeper confined aquifers (III1 and III2), the water levels rise rapidly and remain stable for a long time. By 163 days, the water-level rise is approximately 0.5 m, and the land also shows an obvious rebound. Therefore, groundwater recharge takes a long time to control land subsidence. Groundwater recharge controls the occurrence of land subsidence by increasing pore-water pressure and changing the characteristics of the aquifer system. However, the limitation is that the scope of impact of single-well recharge is limited, which is still a challenge to the governance of large areas. 相似文献

The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC), India, embarked upon exploration and exploitation of deep groundwater
under the project named as “Saraswati” in arid Thar desert, Rajasthan, with a societal mission of providing water to the local
people and cattle. A 555 m deep well drilled by the ONGC near Jaisalmer town in 2006 encountered a potential aquifer at a
depth of 450–500 m. Radiocarbon dating of this well water indicated paleorecharge to be >40,000 yr BP (uncorrected) (Before
Present with respect to 1950 AD), while the medium depth (∼200 m) well waters around that area showed an age range of ∼9,000
to 17,000 yr BP (uncorrected). These waters represent pre-Saraswati era recharge, because the mighty Saraswati flowed in this
region between 7000–4000 yr BP. The stable isotope (δD and δ 18O) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) data of these waters clearly indicated absence of communication between the two aquifers
(deep and medium depth). However, the extension of this deep aquifer needs to be determined. 相似文献

The qanat water supply technology, which gravity drains mountain aquifers into valleys, is considered as a culturally appropriate
and ecological sustainable design to meet northern Cyprus’ drinking water development needs. This research estimates the boundary
and water budget for the proposed qanat recharge area of 370 km 2, which is in the upper elevations of the limestone dominated Five Finger Mountain Range. The mountain drainage was analyzed
using global elevation data from the Shuttle Ranging Topography Mission (SRTM). Efforts to use Tropical Rainfall Measuring
Mission (TRMM) annual precipitation for water budget inputs failed due to extreme error when tested against 10–30 years of
meteorological station data; TRMM under-estimated depths on the narrow mountain peaks. Gage records, while few in number,
were area averaged to set average annual precipitation inputs at 530 mm year −1. Evaporation was estimated using a complementary relationship areal evapotranspiration (CRAE) model, setting average atmospheric
outputs at 221 mm year −1. Recharge to the qanat aquifer was set by subtracting evaporation from precipitation, and then allocating 50% of the remaining
water to environmental services. At 25% development, the qanat system supplies 14 mm 3 year −1 of water, meeting the drinking water deficit of 13 mm 3. 相似文献

A methodological procedure is proposed for determining the renewal period (RP), which expresses the ratio of total storage to recharge of carbonate aquifers, and it was applied to the overexploited moderate-size Becerrero carbonate aquifer (southern Spain). To this end, geological and subsurface data—time domain electromagnetic (TEM) soundings and borehole logs—were integrated to construct a three-dimensional (3D) geological model of the aquifer. The interconnected porosity was estimated by analyzing 73 rock samples. The resulting 3D geometrical model makes it possible to quantify the fractions of the aquifer having a confined or unconfined behaviour. Based on the total storage capacity (179?·?10 6–514?·?10 6 m 3) and available aquifer recharge estimation (4.8?·?10 6–6.4?·?10 6 m 3/year), an RP between 37 and 106 years is obtained. In view of the RP, an exploitation rate slightly lower than the average recharge of the system is recommended, so that the piezometric level will be stable but below the discharge head that is produced through the springs in natural conditions. The proposed methodology to obtain an aquifer RP and the management strategies designed accordingly are of broad interest, especially for carbonate aquifers, which are abundant in arid and semiarid regions. 相似文献
