The nitrate concentration in 12 water-supply wells were monitored for the period April 1992 to March 1993. Each water-supply
well was sampled once a month. The nitrate concentrations in the 12 wells ranged from 7 to 156 mg/l. Two water-supply wells
(Chacsinkin and Peto) showed concentrations that reached 3.5 times the maximum permissible limit for the Drinking Water Standard
(45 mg/l). A third water-supply well (Akil) exceeds the norm for 7 out of 12 months. The use of nitrogen-rich fertilizers
are responsible for high nitrate concentrations in groundwater in the southern part of Yucatan, Mexico where intensive agricultural
practices exist.

This paper describes the results of a groundwater quality assessment conducted in two pilot areas, Balatina and Carpineni,
in the Republic of Moldova. Shallow groundwater is the main source of drinking water in rural areas, but reliable data on
its quality are currently insufficient for developing rural water-supply systems with standard designs. The main components
of the study included a field sampling program (including pesticides), an evaluation of the reliability of existing drinking-water
data, an analysis of land use and groundwater-pollution risks using GIS, and the formulation of recommendations to reduce
risks for public health.
Microbiological, nitrate, and selenium contamination are most serious in the villages. These contaminants should be given
priority in addressing drinking-water aspects for rural water-supply development in the two pilot areas. Pollution occurs
mainly due to poor sanitary conditions. In a few shallow wells, traces of selected pesticides were observed, but the effect
of these levels of pesticides on public health is still unclear.
Limited resources of shallow groundwater of good quality occur outside the villages. Additional pilot studies should be implemented
to prove the technical and institutional feasibility of developing and protecting these resources.

Study area with an area of about 415 km 2 is located from 31°40′ to 32°05′ northern latitudes and 48°45′ to 49°00′ eastern longitudes 85 km to the north-east of Ahwaz
city, in the north of Khuzestan province, and south west of Iran. The purpose of this study is: (1) the determination of the
pesticides concentration in the groundwater of the Shushtar plain (Mian-Ab) and (2) the assessment of geology, hydrogeology
and anthropogenic activities impacts the groundwater quality. Thirty-seven groundwater samples were taken from product wells
based on the standard methods. A simple and efficient automated method for extraction and preconcentration was used. In this
method, a pyrrole-based polymer was synthesized and applied as an efficient sorbent for micro-solid-phase extraction. After
extraction, analytes were desorbed in ethyl acetate and analyzed using gas chromatography–flame. The study area is surrounded
by Aghajari Formation dominated by silt and clay sediments and the Bakhtiari Formation dominated by sand and gravel. Existence
of these formations affects the aquifer sediments and the hydrogeological properties. In the study area, the sediments grade
from gravel and sand in the north and east into silt and clay to the south and west, respectively. The topsoil in the south
of the study area contains more clay sediments. In this study, the concentration of two common herbicides, i.e., 2,4-D and
clodinafop propargyl and two pesticides, i.e., permethrin and diazinon, in the groundwater of Mian-Ab aquifer was assessed.
Chemical analysis results showed that the 2,4-D residue in the groundwater has the highest concentration (15 ppm). About 50%
of the samples have concentration values more than the maximum contamination level based on EPA drinking standard. The pesticides
concentrations decrease from the north to the south of the study area. Pesticides influx to the groundwater in the south of
the area is prevented or diminished due to the specific geological situation and soil type. Distribution pattern of population
centers, which increase to the north of the study area, and the role of groundwater as the main source of drinking water are
two important issues that must be considered in management of pesticides use in the area. 相似文献

以华北平原某集约化种植区为典型研究区域,通过对采集的8个地下水样品及11个土壤样品分析,探讨集约化种植区地下水的污染程度,解析其污染影响机制。结果表明:该集约化种植地区土壤中残留物主要为有机氯农药,多环芳烃及邻苯二甲酸酯类有机化合物。地下水中硝酸盐含量显著增加;重金属中以Cr含量最高,但均未超标;地下水并未受到有机氯农药的污染,但仍显示有多氯联苯的输入;半挥发性有机物检出种类较多,其中残留农膜释放的邻苯二甲酸酯类有机化合物浓度最高;地下水已受到较为严重的污染。集约化种植区大量施用化肥、农药和覆盖农膜,污染负荷严重,灌溉频繁且量大,污染质运移驱动力大是地下水污染的根本原因;当地包气带中黏性土厚度不均以及井孔止水不严等因素也成为了地下水受到污染的直接原因。 相似文献

Geochemical observations, including major ion and trace element analysis, and isotopic tracing have been carried out in the Subarnarekha River system (northeastern India) during a surface-water- and groundwater-monitoring program aimed at evaluating impacts of mining. The aquifer is of fracture type. Groundwater flow conditions and pollutant transfer were observed through a network of 69 wells. δ 18O and δ 2H results suggest that transfer from rainfall towards groundwater storage through soils and the unsaturated zone is fast, without any major transformation like evaporation. The scatter of 87Sr/ 86Sr signatures in surface water and groundwater are explained by three end-members. One is compatible with rainwater inputs. The most mineralised end-member represents anthropogenic inputs (agricultural practices and ore processing). The third end-member, characterised by a high 87Sr/ 86Sr signature, is believed to be controlled by natural geochemical processes, although affected by human activities (e.g. drainage of mine waste). Potential flow paths, investigated north of the area, reveal that all groundwater types seem to evolve more in pockets than along a flow path. The limited extent of transfer and the predominance of natural phenomena help to explain the moderate level of groundwater contamination and the characteristics of surface water contamination by mining and the metallurgy industry. 相似文献

The lower Liaohe River Plain (LRP) is an economically and ecologically important area situated on an alluvial plain, where anthropogenic activities are very intensive. Field investigations were conducted in the LRP and 15 water quality parameters surveyed at 216 wells during September and October of 2009 and 2010. These showed significant variation in the hydrochemistry of groundwater throughout the plain. A Piper plot was used to identify the major geochemical processes occurring in the entire plain. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to identify various underlying natural and anthropogenic processes that created these distinct water types. The Stuyfzand classification was used to subdivide and interpret the complex groundwater hydrochemistry of the Liaohe River delta. Five principal components (PCs) were extracted in terms of PCA, which can be invoked to explain 82% of the total variance in water quality parameters. The PCA results can be categorized by five major factors: (1) Holocene transgression and mixing; (2) surface water infiltration; (3) multi-factor processes; (4) rainfall and agricultural fertilizer contamination; and (5) Geogenic F enrichment. This study demonstrates that the great variation of groundwater hydrochemistry in the LRP should be attributed to both natural and anthropogenic processes. 相似文献

A hydrogeologic model that has been used by many researchers and consultants to describe an area of South Lake Tahoe, California,
USA impacted by MTBE contamination describes a relatively homogeneous unconfined aquifer comprised of poorly sorted glacial
outwash deposits, within which water-supply wells are able to exert significant alteration in natural groundwater flow. A
re-examination of the area’s hydrogeology is presented, which supports a layered heterogeneous aquifer system constructed
of alternating fine and coarser-grained glacio-lacustrine depositional units. This re-evaluation was accomplished through
a review of lithologic logs across an area of approximately 1 km 2, combined with observations of significant hydraulic head differences and knowledge of the depositional environments controlled
by Pleistocene Lake Tahoe high stands. Many of the fine-grained units observed at depths from 6 to 15 m, although relatively
thin, are generally continuous and serve as significant barriers to groundwater flow. The vertical migration of contamination
across these fine-grained units to deeper groundwaters was facilitated by cross-screened monitoring wells installed as part
of site investigation activities. This conclusion highlights the importance of geologic characterization and proper monitoring
well construction at contaminated site investigations.

In 1985, a former tire manufacturing plant surrounded by agricultural fields in the Salinas Valley was designated a Superfund Site by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The plant had been operating for seventeen years, from 1963 until 1980. When dismantling of the plant was started, it was determined that toxic hydrocarbon solvents and oils from the plant had contaminated soil and groundwater in alluvial deposits alongside the plant. It was determined later that the groundwater contamination also lay beneath the agricultural fields in a narrow groundwater plume that extends about 4.3 km downgradient from the plant. Because of the complex architecture of the aquifer system, the gradient, and extensive pumping of agricultural wells, the contaminants migrated northwestward and downward to deeper levels away from the plant. The agricultural fields are underlain by an unconfined shallow aquifer and by a system of confined aquifers that extend to more than 180 m below surface. Aquifers are discontinuous beds of channel sand and gravel; confining beds are overbank clay and silt, and estuarine clay. Geophysical data, logs of existing agricultural and other wells, and careful consideration of the stratigraphic architecture of the depositional environment provided the basis for a conceptual hydrogeologic model and for locating characterization wells for detailed visual and geophysical logging and hydrologic testing. Successive refinements of the characterization by sequential installation of wells indicated optimal locations for installation of extraction and monitoring wells. Validity of the concept of the hydrogeologic regime was verified by close match of predictions made by modeling with the later results of pumping from the extraction wells in a pump-and-treat system. Successful remediation was accomplished by analyzing data from 110 agricultural wells, the few domestic water wells, nearly 200 sequentially installed stratigraphic-characterization and monitoring wells, 25 extraction wells, and by close cooperation among federal, state and local agencies, and the ranchers and growers. Total contaminants recovered from activated-charcoal strippers of the treatment system totalled < 230 kg. Large quantities were harmlessly volatilized and dispersed into the atmosphere by air strippers and by agricultural sprinkling systems spraying water onto the fields. Crop testing showed no contamination of food crops. The activity has taken seven years and has cost more than US$22 million. 相似文献

Drilling of 15 boreholes at a disused liquid waste disposal site near Perth, Western Australia, has indicated that a contamination
plume extends about 1000 m in a southerly direction from the site in the direction of groundwater flow. The plume is up to
600 m wide and 5–40 m thick. Chemical and microbiological analyses have indicated that contaminated groundwater contains high
concentrations of ammonia, iron, and bacteria at levels that commonly exceed national drinking water guidelines. It is likely
that a proposed water supply production well in the path of the contamination plume will have to be abandoned, and additional
wells may have to be abandoned if the plume continues to extend in the direction of groundwater flow. There is currently insufficient
information to indicate whether the plume is continuing to expand, but studies on similar plumes in the Perth metropolitan
area have indicated that contaminated groundwater can move at rates up to 100 m yr –1. Several other liquid waste disposal sites are now located in residential areas of Perth where wells are used for garden
irrigation. Further work is required to ensure that there is no potential impact of groundwater contamination on public health
in these areas.

A large amount of the water requirement (municipal, industrial, etc.) of Eskişehir city, Turkey, is supplied from groundwater
via wells in the urban area. The groundwater in the Eskişehir Plain alluvium has been polluted by municipal and industrial
wastewater, and agricultural activities. The nitrate concentrations at nine sampling points on Porsuk River, the main water
course in the plain, ranged from 1.5 to 63.3 mg/l during the period from July 1986 to August 1988. In the same period, the
nitrate concentrations measured in water from 51 wells ranged between 2.2–257.0 mg/l. The nitrate content of the groundwater
samples was 34.2% above 45 mg/l, the upper limit for nitrate in drinking water standards. High nitrate levels were observed
in water from wells in the central and eastern parts of the urban area. The nitrate content of the well water is subject to
seasonal fluctuation. In general, low nitrate concentrations were observed in wet seasons, and high ones in dry seasons.

The Paluxy aquifer in north-central Texas is composed primarily of Lower Cretaceous clastics. This aquifer provides water
for both domestic and agricultural purposes in the region. The study area for this investigation incorporates the outcrop
and recharge areas, as well as the confined and unconfined portions of the aquifer. The purpose of this investigation is to
develop a predictive modeling approach for evaluating the susceptibility of groundwater in the Paluxy aquifer to contamination,
and then compare this susceptibility evaluation to water-chemistry data collected from wells completed within the aquifer.
Using such an approach allows one to investigate the potential for groundwater contamination on a regional, rather than site-specific
scale. Based on data from variables such as land use/land cover, soil permeability, depth to water, aquifer hydraulic conductivity
and topography, subjective numerical weightings have been assigned according to each variables' relative importance in groundwater
pollution susceptibility. The weights for each variable comprise a Geographic Information System (GIS) map layer. These map
layers are combined to formulate the final pollution susceptibility map. Using this method of investigation, the pollution
susceptibility map classifies 32% of the study area as having low pollution susceptibility, 41% as having moderate pollution
susceptibility, 25% as having high pollution susceptibility, and 2% as having very high pollution susceptibility. When comparing
these modeling results with water-chemistry data from wells within the Paluxy aquifer, the four wells with the highest concentration
of nitrate contamination are all found within regions of very high pollution potential. This confirms the accuracy and usefulness
of the predictive modeling approach for assessing aquifer pollution susceptibility.

A three-dimensional steady-state finite difference groundwater flow model is used to quantify the groundwater fluxes and analyze the subsurface hydrodynamics in the basaltic terrain by giving particular emphasis to the well field that supplies domestic, agricultural, and industrial needs. The alluvial aquifer of the Ghatprabha River comprises shallow tertiary sediment deposits underlain by peninsular gneissic complex of Archean age, located in the central–eastern part of the Karnataka in southern India. Integrated hydrochemical, geophysical, and hydrogeological investigations have been helped in the conceptualization of groundwater flow model. Hydrochemical study has revealed that groundwater chemistry mainly controlled by silicate weathering in the study area. Higher concentration of TDS and NO 3-N are observed, due to domestic, agriculture, and local anthropogenic activities are directed into the groundwater, which would have increased the concentration of the ions in the water. Groundwater flow model is calibrated using head observations from 23 wells. The calibrated model is used to forecast groundwater flow pattern, and anthropogenic contamination migration under different scenarios. The result indicates that the groundwater flows regionally towards the south of catchment area and the migration of contamination would be reached in the nearby well field in less than 10 years time. The findings of these studies are of strong relevance to addressing the groundwater pollution due to indiscriminate disposal practices of hazardous waste in areas located within the phreatic aquifer. This study has laid the foundation for developing detailed predictive groundwater model, which can be readily used for groundwater management practices. 相似文献

The assessment of groundwater quality and its environmental implications in the region of the abandoned Cunha Baixa uranium
mine (Central Portugal) was carried out from 1995 to 2004. Shallow groundwater is the major water supply source for irrigation
in the neighbourhood of Cunha Baixa village. Water samples from the mine site as well as from private wells were collected
in order to identify the mining impact on water composition, the extent of contamination and the seasonal and temporal groundwater
quality variations. Some of the sampled private wells contain waters having low pH (<4.5–5) and high values of EC, TDS, SO 4, F, Ca, Mg, Al, Mn, Ni, U, Zn and 226Ra. The wells located through the ESE–WSE groundwater flow path (1 km down gradient of the mining site) display the most contaminated
water. In the summer season, the levels of SO 4, Al, Mn, and U were 50–120 times higher than those registered for uncontaminated waters and exceeded the quality limits for
irrigation purposes, presenting soil degradation risks. Nevertheless, this study indicates that groundwater contamination
suffered a small decrease from 1999 to 2004. The bioaccumulation of toxic metals such as Al, Mn, and U within the food chain
may cause a serious health hazard to the Cunha Baixa village inhabitants. 相似文献

Temporal monitoring of the pesticide 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) and nitrate and indicators of mean groundwater age were used to evaluate the transport and fate of agricultural chemicals in groundwater and to predict the long-term effects in the regional aquifer system in the eastern San Joaquin Valley, California. Twenty monitoring wells were installed on a transect along an approximate groundwater flow path. Concentrations of DBCP and nitrate in the wells were compared to concentrations in regional areal monitoring networks. DBCP persists at concentrations above the US Environmental Protection Agency’s maximum contaminant level (MCL) at depths of nearly 40 m below the water table, more than 25 years after it was banned. Nitrate concentrations above the MCL reached depths of more than 20 m below the water table. Because of the intensive pumping and irrigation recharge, vertical flow paths are dominant. High concentrations (above MCLs) in the shallow part of the regional aquifer system will likely move deeper in the system, affecting both domestic and public-supply wells. The large fraction of old water (unaffected by agricultural chemicals) in deep monitoring wells suggests that it could take decades for concentrations to reach MCLs in deep, long-screened public-supply wells, however. 相似文献

The studied area is in the south of Algeria. Chemical data are used to determine the status of water quality in the Albian
sandstone aquifer of Ain oussera, as well as to clarify the hydrological regime in the study area, to identify spatial and
temporal variations of water quality and sources of contamination (natural and anthropogenic). Waters in sandstone are dominated
by a magnesium chloride type and sodium chloride type. Interpretation of chemical data with thermodynamic calculation suggests
that the chemical evolution of groundwater is primarily controlled by water–rock interactions. Piezometric map suggests that
water is moving from the south toward north. The agricultural irrigation effluent and domestic effluents have largely contributed
to contamination of groundwater. 相似文献

The lower Varuna River basin in Varanasi district situated in the central Ganga plain is a highly productive agricultural
area, and is also one of the fast growing urban areas in India. The agricultural and urbanization activities have a lot of
impact on the groundwater quality of the study area. The river basin is underlain by Quaternary alluvial sediments consisting
of clay, silt, sand and gravel of various grades. The hydrogeochemical study was undertaken by randomly collecting 75 groundwater
samples from dug wells and hand pumps covering the entire basin in order to understand the sources of dissolved ions, and
to assess the chemical quality of the groundwater through analysis of major ions. Based on the total dissolved solids, two
groundwater samples are considered unsuitable for drinking purpose, but all samples are useful for irrigation. Graphical treatment
of major ion chemistry by Piper diagram helps in identifying hydro-geochemical facies of groundwaters and the dominant hydrochemical
facies is Ca-Mg-HCO 3 with appreciable percentage of the water having mixed facies. As per Wilcox’s diagram and US Salinity laboratory classification,
most of the groundwater samples are suitable for irrigation except two samples (No’s 30 and 68) which are unsuitable due to
the presence of high salinity and medium sodium hazard. Irrigation waters classified based on residual sodium carbonate, have
revealed that all groundwaters are in general safe for irrigation except one sample (No. 27), which needs treatment before
use. Permeability index indicates that the groundwater samples are suitable for irrigation purpose.
Although the general quality of groundwater of the lower Varuna River basin is suitable for irrigation purpose, fifty seven
percent of the samples are found having nitrate content more than permissible limit (>45 mg/l) which is not good for human
consumption. Application of N-Fertilizers on agricultural land as crop nutrients along the Varuna River course may be responsible
for nitrate pollution in the groundwater due to leaching by applied irrigation water. The other potential sources of high
nitrate concentration in extreme northern, southern and southwestern parts of study area are poor sewerage and drainage facilities,
leakage of human excreta from very old septic tanks, and sanitary landfills. The high fluoride contamination (>1.5 mg/l) in
some of the samples may be due to the dissolution of micaceous content in the alluvium. Nitrate and fluoride contamination
of groundwater is a serious problem for its domestic use. Hence an immediate protective measure must be put into action in
the study area. 相似文献

Analyses of 126 samples collected from 18 dug wells in the shallow basaltic aquifer over a period of 7 months have revealed
spatial as well as temporal changes in the chemical properties of groundwater. While the temporal changes have been attributed
to dilution and concentration phenomena governed by climatic factors, the spatial variations in the geochemical characteristics
of groundwater appeared to be related to pollution due to effluents from the Mula Sugar Factory. The cause of groundwater
pollution is the effluent carried by a stream flowing through the area. Fluctuations in the groundwater table, influent water
quality character of the stream, less capacity to accommodate large volume of effluent and occurrence of zero base flow (under
natural conditions) in the stream are the factors favoring infiltration of constituents of waste water into the underlying
weathered basaltic aquifer. Pollutants have entered into the shallow aquifer by downward percolation through the zone of aeration
to form a recharge mound at the water table and, further, lateral movement below the water table. The plume of polluted groundwater
has a lateral extent of a few meters in the upstream area and more than 400 m on either side of the stream in the downstream
part. The zone of polluted groundwater has an areal extent of more than 3.5 km 2. Groundwater is the only source available for drinking and agricultural purposes. It is recommended that the base of the
lagoons and the stream used for release of plant effluent should be waterproofed for the protection of groundwater in the
Sonai area.

The water system in a rural area of Lanmuchang in Southwest Guizhou is facing a risk of thallium (Tl) contamination due to Tl mineralization around the area. The major trace elements and Tl in the water system are studied to understand the hydrogeochemical processes of Tl constrained by Tl mineralization. The results showed that the dispersion pattern of Tl follows a descending order in concentration from mine groundwater (deep groundwater) →stream water→shallow groundwater→background water, reflecting the impact of Tl mineralization on the hydrogeochemical composition. Tl concentrations in stream water in both regimes are remarkably higher (2-30 fold) downstream than up- and mid-streams, probably caused by the unidentified discharge of deep groundwater. Low Tl levels are detected in the current drinking water, however, the highly elevated Tl in stream water and ground water may pose a potential environmental risk through daily washing and agricultural irrigation. This study suggests that human activities, such as agricultural irrigation, could intensify the environmental risk of Tl. 相似文献

地下水是海河流域滹沱河冲洪积扇重要的饮用水水源,农业种植过程中施用的农药会导致地下水污染,该地区地下水中农药的污染调查工作相对匮乏。为了研究滹沱河冲洪积扇地下水中农药的污染及分布特征,本文利用气相色谱-质谱联用技术分析了30组地下水样品中75种农药组分,用统计学方法对结果进行分析。结果显示:30个采样点中均有农药检出,检测的75种农药中检出40种,有机氯、有机磷、有机氮三类均有检出。检出率最高的为3-羟基呋喃丹(93.3%)、敌杀磷(90.0%)、地茂散(90.0%),30个样品检出浓度之和最大的为呋喃丹(4860.6ng/L)。研究区内三类农药平均检出浓度有机氯(70.8ng/L)有机磷(392.7ng/L)有机氮(580.9ng/L),这主要与三类农药的使用历程和性质相关:有机氯类农药由于其高毒、难降解等特性在1983年被禁用;21世纪初,相对高效、易降解的有机磷类和有机氮类农药应用广泛。三类农药的空间分布特征为从冲洪积扇顶部到中部,农药含量逐渐减少,这主要受冲洪积扇水文地质特征的影响。研究区内HCHs来源为近期林丹使用或HCHs工业降解,DDTs来源为新DDT源的释放或历史上的使用。研究结果可为我国地下水农药的污染监测和地下水相关标准制定提供数据支撑。 相似文献

Increasing pressure on water resources worldwide has resulted in groundwater contamination, and thus the deterioration of the groundwater resources and a threat to the public health. Risk mapping of groundwater contamination is an important tool for groundwater protection, land use management, and public health. This study presents a new approach for groundwater contamination risk mapping, based on hydrogeological setting, land use, contamination load, and groundwater modelling. The risk map is a product of probability of contamination and impact. This approach was applied on the Gaza Strip area in Palestine as a case study. A spatial analyst tool within Geographical Information System (GIS) was used to interpolate and manipulate data to develop GIS maps of vulnerability, land use, and contamination impact. A groundwater flow model for the area of study was also used to track the flow and to delineate the capture zones of public wells. The results show that areas of highest contamination risk occur in the southern cities of Khan Yunis and Rafah. The majority of public wells are located in an intermediate risk zone and four wells are in a high risk zone. 相似文献
