Concentration versus streamflow trends of major ions and tritium in headwater streams as indicators of changing water stores     

Ian Cartwright  Uwe Morgenstern  Harald Hofmann 《水文研究》2020,34(2):485-505

Documenting the processes that control the variations in stream geochemistry at different streamflows is important for being able to use chemical tracers to understand catchment functioning. The concentrations of most solutes, including reactive cations (e.g., Na, Ca, K, and Mg) and anions that are primarily derived from precipitation (Cl and Br), in five headwater streams from southeast Australia vary little with streamflow and are close to being chemostatic. By contrast, NO₃ and SO₄ concentrations are higher at high streamflows. There is also a systematic increase of ³H activities from as low as 1.1 to as high as 2.6 TU with increasing streamflow. The changes in geochemistry cannot be explained solely by increased mineral dissolution at high streamflows or enhanced baseflow driven by hydraulic loading. They are best explained by an increased baseflow input augmented by water mobilized from shallower stores as the catchments wet up. The mean transit times of the water sustaining streamflow varies from 35 to 70 years at low streamflows to <7 years at high streamflows. The use of a range of geochemical tracers, including radioactive isotopes, allows the different possible causes of chemostatic behaviour to be assessed and improves our understanding of catchment functioning.  相似文献   

Hydrologic functioning of the deep critical zone and contributions to streamflow in a high‐elevation catchment: Testing of multiple conceptual models

High‐elevation mountain catchments are often subject to large climatic and topographic gradients. Therefore, high‐density hydrogeochemical observations are needed to understand water sources to streamflow and the temporal and spatial behaviour of flow paths. These sources and flow paths vary seasonally, which dictates short‐term storage and the flux of water in the critical zone (CZ) and affect long‐term CZ evolution. This study utilizes multiyear observations of chemical compositions and water residence times from the Santa Catalina Mountains Critical Zone Observatory, Tucson, Arizona to develop and evaluate competing conceptual models of seasonal streamflow generation. These models were tested using endmember mixing analysis, baseflow recession analysis, and tritium model “ages” of various catchment water sources. A conceptual model involving four endmembers (precipitation, soil water, shallow, and deep groundwater) provided the best match to observations. On average, precipitation contributes 39–69% (55 ± 16%), soil water contributes 25–56% (41 ± 16%), shallow groundwater contributes 1–5% (3 ± 2%), and deep groundwater contributes ~0–3% (1 ± 1%) towards annual streamflow. The mixing space comprised two principal planes formed by (a) precipitation‐soil water‐deep groundwater (dry and summer monsoon season samples) and (b) precipitation‐soil water‐shallow groundwater (winter season samples). Groundwater contribution was most important during the wet winter season. During periods of high dynamic groundwater storage and increased hydrologic connectivity (i.e., spring snowmelt), stream water was more geochemically heterogeneous, that is, geochemical heterogeneity of stream water is storage‐dependent. Endmember mixing analysis and ³H model age results indicate that only 1.4 ± 0.3% of the long‐term annual precipitation becomes deep CZ groundwater flux that influences long‐term deep CZ development through both intercatchment and intracatchment deep groundwater flows.  相似文献

利用³H法和CFCs法对河南平原第四系浅层地下水年龄进行计算,为河南平原浅层地下水可更新能力评价和水循环的研究提供依据。结果表明：2种方法计算出的年龄拟合误差较小（2 a）,均可代表河南平原浅层地下水年龄。总体上,河南平原浅层地下水主要为近50 a以来补给的现代水。太行山、伏牛山、大别山山前地区以及开封西部的黄河两岸等地区浅层地下水年龄均小于30 a,并且顺着地下水流向年龄逐渐增大。从山前地区和黄河两岸至平原区,浅层地下水开采潜力逐渐减小。总体上:平原北部地下水系统地下水年龄较小,地下水循环交替较快;平原南部地下水系统次之;平原中部地下水系统地下水年龄最大,地下水循环交替最慢。  相似文献   

A regional simulation study on dispersion of nuclear pollution from the damaged Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant     

FEI JianFang  WANG PengFei  CHENG XiaoPing  HUANG XiaoGang  WANG YiBai 《中国科学:地球科学(英文版)》2014,57(7):1513-1524

A nuclear accident involving the leaking of radioactive pollutants occurred at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Japan,following an earthquake and subsequent tsunami on March 11,2011.Using official Japanese data on pollutant emissions during the accident,this study simulates the dispersion of nuclear pollutants.The source term of the nuclear leakage of radioactive material is designed using PM2.5as the tracer of radioactive pollutants,and the study considers dry and wet deposition processes.A coupled-model system is constructed from the air-quality model Models-3/CMAQ and the Weather Research and Forecasting atmospheric model.The transport path and distribution of radioactive pollutants over long and short distances are simulated with different model horizontal resolutions of 30 and 4 km respectively.The long-distance simulation shows that,following the Fukushima nuclear accident,under the effect of westerly winds,radioactive pollutants are transported generally towards the eastern Pacific and reach the American continent after 5 days,but their concentration is only about 10–7 times the concentration near the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.The time required for pollutants to reach the United States is basically consistent with measurements made in California on March 18.Because the upper westerly wind is faster than the lower westerly wind,the distribution of pollutants tilts eastward in terms of its vertical structure.The short-distance(local)highresolution simulation indicates that strong winds and precipitation associated with a cyclone can accelerate the deposition,diffusion and transport of pollutions,and local cyclonic circulation can change the transport path of pollutants,even resulting in repeated effects of pollution in some areas.Pollutants disperse to southeastern Honshu,Japan,on March 14,2011,agreeing well with the timing of local observations of increases in the absorbed dose rate.Results also show that radioactive pollutants from the Fukushima nuclear accident are mainly transported and diffuse eastward,resulting in a relatively short-term impact on the Japanese mainland even under the influence of the cyclone system.Therefore,in terms of atmospheric conditions,the location of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant is appropriate and could serve as a reference to site selection and protection of other nuclear facilities.  相似文献

高庙子膨润土已被确定为我国高放废物地质处置的首选缓冲/回填材料,进行其力学特性及应用模拟研究对合理设计处置库具有十分重要的意义。考虑膨胀效应的UH模型是在超固结非饱和土本构模型（非饱和土UH模型）的基础上提出的,因引入了土体团粒的吸水膨胀作用,使其适用于非饱和膨润土。基于有限元软件ABAQUS的二次开发平台,利用Fortran语言编制模型的UMAT（user-difined material）材料子程序,进行了考虑膨胀效应UH模型的有限元实现。然后针对高放废物处置概念模型,利用编制的模型子程序对高放废物处置系统进行了三维有限元模拟,并对渗流场和应力场的演化规律进行了初步探究。模拟结果显示处置系统中膨润土的内应力增加,土体的稳定性较好,说明选择高庙子膨润土作为缓冲/回填材料的合理性,也同时验证了程序的正确性。  相似文献

刘淑芬  李亚伟  郭永海  王驹  苏锐 《国外铀金地质》2009,(3):167-171

公婆泉是我国高放废物处置库场址北山预选区众多泉中少有的淡水泉,该泉水的成因问题与处置库场址选择具有一定的关系。通过前人资料的分析,结合水文地质调查工作,探讨了该泉的成因,认为该泉是一个受潜水补给的下降泉。泉水的补给来源是位于该泉西南部的驼马滩盆地古近系一新近系下覆基岩古风化壳地下水,其水质良好、水量丰富,流向北东,经公婆泉丘陵一带后,在沟谷侵蚀含水层处溢出,形成公婆泉。  相似文献
