海南琼北复式含水层系统水循环特征

目前,琼北复式含水层系统(面积4300km2)的水循环方式,以垂向互补互渗为主,水平径流为辅,最大限度截取地下水入海径流量.海水与复式含水层系统发生水量交换必须同时具备两个条件:(1)存在水量交换通道;(2)有势能差(位头、压头和咸淡水密度差别产生的重力势头组成).由于琼北复式含水层系统地下水资源多年连续被开采,承压自流水位在15～20年前就已降低至海平面之下,但至今尚未发现明显的海水入侵迹象.     

江汉平原高砷地下水中DOM三维荧光特征及其指示意义

水体中溶解性有机质(dissolved organic matter, DOM)是含水层中砷释放的主控因素之一.江汉平原河湖众多、沟渠广布,地表水体与浅层地下水的交互作用使得DOM的组分特征及其强度有显著差异.为查明江汉平原地下水中溶解性有机质在砷迁移转化过程中的作用,对江汉平原地表水和浅层地下水进行三维荧光光谱分析,使用平行因子分析法提取水体中有机质的分子组成、功能特点和荧光特征,并分析各组分相对含量与地下水中砷与铁的关联.江汉平原水体中DOM包括3种主要组分,组分C1、C2为类腐殖质,C2是生物降解过程中产生的小分子,C3为类蛋白物质.地下水DOM以类腐殖质组分C1、C2为主,地表水以类蛋白类物质C3和小分子腐殖质C2为主.高砷地下水中DOM以陆源为主,主要通过两种途径促进As的迁移转化:(1) DOM的腐殖质组分充当微生物群落的电子运输工具,促进微生物作用下的有机质氧化和铁氧化物的还原,并伴随As的释放及大量溶解性有机碳(dissolved organic carbon, DOC)和HCO₃-的产生;(2) As以铁等金属阳离子为桥接物与腐殖质结合,通过形成As-Fe-DOM络合物,导致地下水中砷的迁移.      

天鹅洲长江故道湿地地下水砷的时空分布特征及控制机理

高砷地下水不仅直接危害供水安全,还可通过与湿地之间的交互作用,影响湿地水质进而威胁湿地生态安全.长江中游河湖平原已被报道广泛分布有高砷地下水,而位于长江中游故道区域的天鹅洲湿地地下水中砷的空间分布特征尚不明确,湿地与地下水的交互作用对地下水中砷季节性动态的控制机理尚不明确.本研究在天鹅洲湿地采集2个水文地质钻孔的35件沉积物样品、12个分层监测井不同季节的共72组地下水样和18组地表水样,通过水位-水化学监测、沉积物地球化学组成分析和砷、铁形态表征探究天鹅洲湿地地下水中砷的时空分布规律及控制机理.研究发现天鹅洲湿地地下水砷含量为1.08~147 μg/L,牛轭湖外侧浅井（10 m）地下水砷含量普遍高于深井（25 m）和牛轭湖内侧浅井（10 m）、深井（25 m）地下水,枯水期和平水期的砷含量高于丰水期.牛轭湖外侧浅层地下水系统具有更厚的粘土、亚粘土沉积,沉积物中总砷、强吸附态砷和易还原的铁氧化物的含量更多,吸附砷的水铁矿等无定形铁氧化物还原性溶解导致砷释放进入地下水中.枯水期天鹅洲湿地底部向牛轭湖外侧浅层含水层输送不稳定的有机质,使天鹅洲湿地地下水-地表水界面成为砷释放的热点区域.丰水期时牛轭湖外侧含水层受长江补给的影响,还原环境发生改变使地下水中的砷和铁被氧化固定从而不利于砷向地下水释放.      

灌溉活动对大同盆地表层土壤中砷迁移的影响

大同盆地是我国原生高砷地下水典型分布区。高砷地下水常被用作灌溉水源,灌溉回流对表层土壤中砷迁移和富集有着重要影响,但具体机制尚不清晰。通过场地灌溉模拟试验,并结合室内分析,探讨了灌溉活动对表层土壤中砷迁移转化的影响机制。结果表明,灌溉回流不仅导致地表土壤载砷量显著增加,而且引起潜水位快速上升。近地表还原性环境的强化使得含砷铁氧化物还原溶解增强,从而导致了砷的释放。此外,土壤孔隙水离子强度增加促进了离子交换态砷的迁移。灌溉停止后,伴随潜水位回落,氧化环境的增强有利于结晶态铁氧化物的形成,水砷通过吸附和共沉淀作用重新被铁氧化物固定。因此,高砷地下水灌溉通过改变近地表氧化还原环境可促进砷的迁移,砷和铁的输入最终导致表层土壤总砷和铁含量增加。     

贵德盆地三河流域高砷地下水中溶解性有机物三维荧光特性及其指示意义

溶解性有机物(dissolved organic matter, DOM)可以通过多种方式控制含水层中砷的迁移转化。贵德盆地承压含水层地下水砷含量显著高于潜水含水层。为查明承压水中溶解性有机物对砷浓度的影响,对研究区地表水、潜水以及承压水进行吸光度和三维荧光光谱的分析,利用平行因子分析法确定了水样中有机物成分及荧光特征。结果表明,贵德盆地水体中DOM包含陆源类腐殖质(C1)、受人为影响的腐殖质(C2)、类醌化合物(C3)和微生物来源的腐殖质(C4)4种组分。陆源类腐殖质C1可在地下水中富集,占总有机质的40%~55%。相比于地下水,C2和C3则在地表水中占据较高的比例。高砷承压水中C2、C3所占比例高于低砷潜水。其中,C1可以通过络合作用促进溶解性砷浓度的提高,C3作为电子穿梭体可以促进含砷铁氧化物或氢氧化物的还原性溶解从而释放砷。微生物降解有机质生成的HCO-3可以与砷竞争吸附,促进砷的解吸附。此外,还原性溶解产生的Fe(II)与HCO-3形成FeCO3固定一部分的砷。该研究表明,地下水中的天然有机物通过络合作用和作为电子穿梭体促进铁氧化物还原导致地下水砷的富集,为分析黄河上游地区高砷地下水的成因提供理论依据。     

地下水氮循环与砷迁移转化耦合的研究现状和趋势

地下水中铵根、砷、溶解铁的共存是一个普遍现象。它们之间发生强烈的相互作用,并影响地下水系统的氮循环和砷迁移转化。文章在系统总结地下水氮循环过程及影响因素、地下水氮循环功能微生物及特征、地下水砷富集的水文地球化学过程等国内外研究现状的基础上,深入分析了地下水系统中的氮循环过程（硝化、反硝化、铁铵氧化、厌氧铵氧化、硝酸根异化还原产铵等）对地下水砷迁移转化的影响,总结出含水层中铁氧化物和溶解态Fe(II)的动态转化是氮循环影响地下水中砷迁移转化的重要桥梁。据此提出不同氧化还原环境的含水层中氮循环过程、地下水氮循环与砷迁移转化耦合机理、Fe(III)-Fe(II)的循环-地下水氮循环-砷迁移转化之间的相互作用过程、地表水-地下水相互作用带氮-铁-砷的循环过程及其对人类活动的响应等是今后该领域需要关注的重要科学问题和主要发展趋势。这些科学问题的解决不仅有利于识别地下水中氮的来源和迁移转化,而且有利于提高对高砷地下水富集机理的整体认识。     

吉林西部砷中毒区高砷地下水反向地球化学模拟

为了解吉林西部砷中毒区高砷地下水水-岩作用过程及砷的迁移转化规律,通过野外调查、样品采集和数据测试,利用地下水化学测试数据,分析了该区地下水化学特征以及高砷地下水的水平和垂向分布规律.在地下水流场及水化学特征分析的基础上,应用PHREEQC软件进行了地下水砷的反向地球化学模拟,计算了沿同一水流路径下含砷、铁、锰等矿物的溶解或析出量.模拟结果表明:沿地下水流方向,含砷元素的矿物臭葱石在路径1和路径2上不同水样点间溶解进入地下水的量分别为2.44×10-6、8.03×10-7、7.98×10-6和4.14×10-7 mmol/L,含铁、锰元素的矿物针铁矿、赤铁矿、软锰矿和方铁锰矿的质量交换结果均为正值;表明沿模拟路径这几种矿物发生溶解进入地下水,而硫酸根离子和CO2的交换量为负值,从地下水中析出.以上研究证实了地下水中砷与铁、锰元素具有良好的相关性,且高砷水在碱性的还原环境富集.     

内蒙古河套平原典型高砷区地下水中砷的演化规律

通过对高砷地下水典型区完整地质单元不同深度含水层地下水进行监测,分析了与砷释放、迁移和富集有关的敏感因素（水位、Eh、总铁、亚铁等）的时间和空间变化规律,探讨了高砷地下水的形成机理。结果发现,地下水灌溉区和黄河水灌溉区,地下水水位均受人为灌溉活动的影响。地下水砷含量在空间和时间尺度上发生有规律的变化。在空间尺度上,地下水中砷含量随着深度的增加而升高,井深小于10 m的地下水砷含量在1.88～2.58 μg/L;井深在10~15 m之间的地下水中砷含量在18.2～217 μg/L;井深在15~25 m之间的地下水中砷含量在38.3～226 μg/L。受人为灌溉影响,地下水中砷的含量会随着地下水位的抬升而升高。地下水砷含量随时间变化的原因是水位抬升使水位变化造成氧化还原环境改变。地下水系统中含砷铁氧化物矿物的还原性溶解、脱硫酸作用等是控制地下水砷含量的主要水文地球化学过程。     

滨海地区分层含水层中陆源溶质运移过程

为更好地保护沿海水环境和水生态功能，亟需探究陆源溶质在滨海分层含水层中的迁移机制。构建二维分层含水层数值模型，采用地下水软件SUTRA-MS模拟分析潮汐作用下陆源溶质在分层含水层中的运移特征。结果表明：(1)与均质含水层相比，弱透水层的存在会延长溶质在含水层中的滞留时间、增大溶质最大扩散面积、削弱溶质在水平方向和垂直方向的扩散程度；(2)弱透水层能够降低陆源溶质向海水排放的最大通量，并且延长溶质排放的持续时间；(3)溶质扩散面积、弱透水层中溶质残余量、水平和垂向扩散程度等对弱透水层水力传导系数和厚度的敏感性优于弱透水层深度。     

滦河冲洪积扇及其下游滨海平原环境地质问题及对策研究

位于河北省内的滦河冲洪积扇及其滨海平原第四系分布广泛,岩性主要有卵砾石、砾砂、粗砂、中砂、细砂、粉土、粉质粘土、粘土, 可划分为四个含水组,分别相当于Q4、Q3、Q2、Q1.滨海平原区域内,Ⅰ或Ⅱ含水组为咸水体,呈楔形插入淡水体中.各含水层组之间隔水层多稳定分布,以越流形式发生水力联系.地下水的补给方式主要是大气降水的河渠渗漏,灌溉回渗及侧向径流.地下淡水开采量的不断增加导致地下水位持续下降,局部形成地下水位降落漏斗,导致地面沉降.在滨海地区,斜插向淡水层中的咸水体底界下移侵入淡水层,并受到海水入侵的威胁.地表污水的渗透,污染了地下水,局部地段大肠菌群超标,氮污染严重.针对该区具体情况,提出了几项治理措施(1)利用滦河冲洪积扇--天然"地下水库",建立水资源统一管理模型;(2)利用工程增加河水入渗量;(3)限制南部地区深层地下水的开采,防止生态环境恶化;(4)加强咸水、半咸水等非传统水资源开发;(5)发展节水型农业,加强废水再利用;(6)加强环境污染治理,防止地表污水入渗污染地下水.     

江汉平原过渡带黏性层状土弥散试验与模拟研究

为研究江汉平原—大别山区过渡带黏性层状土中溶质迁移的规律,以保守性阴离子Br-为示踪剂,通过等温吸附试验、一维弥散试验、HYDRUS-1D软件模拟反演手段,研究了Br-在黏性层状土中的吸附参数、迁移规律,模拟反演其弥散参数。结果表明：（1）Freundlich模型和Langmuir模型均能较好的拟合吸附试验结果,随着土壤中黏粒比例的增大,土壤对Br-的饱和吸附量有所增加;（2）层状土中土壤质地与结构均会影响穿透曲线的形状,但一维饱和土柱中的弥散过程主要取决于含水介质系统中黏性颗粒的占比,黏粒的增加会对溶质运移产生阻碍作用;（3）通过HYDRUS-1D软件构建模型反演弥散参数,R2均大于0.991,拟合效果较好,分析发现层状土中无论土壤组成类型还是层厚及排序的影响,其本质都是改变了土壤的平均孔隙流速从而影响弥散作用,平均孔隙流速越小其弥散系数越小;（4）试验中粉质黏土弥散系数约为0.005～0.048 cm2/d,远远小于下部砂土弥散系数0.524～7.477 cm2/d,差值达到了至少两个数量级,表明研究区内厚层黏土为控制地层,会较大程度阻碍地下水中溶质运移,上部含水层中的污染物或有机...     

Evaluation of Subsurface Lithologic Units for Groundwater Exploration in the Barind Tract of Bangladesh

Barind Tract, located north western part of Bangladesh, is one of the most diversified physiographic units of the country. The surface water supply in this part is particularly limited, so the irrigation is almost entirely depends on groundwater. However, over exploitation indicates falling groundwater heads in this area. The objective of present study is to examine the nature of the aquifer system Barind Tract of Bangladesh in order to assess the sustainability of groundwater yield. Borehole lithology data were collected, processed and analyzed for this purpose. Representative panel diagram, 3-D stratigraphic and cross-sectional views were also prepared for necessary assessment of the variation of individual subsurface stratum in different locations. The study identified three subsurface geologic formations namely, a top clay layer, sand layer of different grain size and at the bottom an impermeable clay zone. Maps of formation thickness and index revealed that aquifer thickness is low in the north-western corner and in some places of middle of south-western corner. The thickness of sand formation in other places is recorded above 20 m. It is expect that the finding of the study will help groundwater resources development, planning and management in the area.     

Arsenic contamination of ground and pond water and water purification system using pond water in Bangladesh

This paper, firstly, shows the distribution of arsenic-contaminated groundwater in Samta village. This village, which is in Jessore district in Bangladesh, was chosen as a model village for investigating the mechanism of groundwater contamination. 90% of the tube wells in this village had arsenic concentrations above the Bangladesh standard of 0.05 mg/l. Tube wells with arsenic concentrations of over 0.50 mg/l were distributed in the southern part of the village with a belt-like shape from east to west. Secondly, groundwater distribution is discussed with respect to its flow and the high arsenic zone (As≥0.50 mg/l) agrees well with the drifting zone of the groundwater. Furthermore, arsenic-free water supply systems suitable for a small area in the village have been developed. A pond sand filter (PSF) system which purifies pond water is discussed in this paper. Prior to the construction of the PSF, the water quality in ponds was examined for arsenic levels. The inflow of drainage from the tube wells was found to be the major cause of arsenic contamination of pond water. The PSF installed in Samta is working very well and produces a good quality of treated water.     

The impact of sewage-contaminated river water on groundwater ammonium and arsenic concentrations at a riverbank filtration site in central Delhi,India

The groundwater abstracted at a well field near the Yamuna River in Central Delhi, India, has elevated ammonium (NH₄ ⁺) concentrations up to 35 mg/L and arsenic (As) concentrations up to 0.146 mg/L, constituting a problem with the provision of safe drinking and irrigation water. Infiltrating sewage-contaminated river water is the primary source of the NH₄ ⁺ contamination in the aquifer, leading to reducing conditions which probably trigger the release of geogenic As. These conclusions are based on the evaluation of six 8–27-m deep drillings, and 13 surface-water and 69 groundwater samples collected during seven field campaigns (2012–2013). Results indicate that losing stream conditions prevail and the river water infiltrates into the shallow floodplain aquifer (up to 16 m thickness), which consists of a 1–2-m thick layer of calcareous nodules (locally known as kankar) overlain by medium sand. Because of its higher hydraulic conductivity (3.7 × 10^?3 m/s, as opposed to 3.5 × 10^?4 m/s in the sand), the kankar layer serves as the main pathway for the infiltrating water. However, the NH₄ ⁺ plume front advances more rapidly in the sand layer because of its significantly lower cation exchange capacity. Elevated As concentrations were only observed within the NH₄ ⁺ plume indicating a causal connection with the infiltrating reducing river water.     

Controls on groundwater flow in the Bengal Basin of India and Bangladesh: regional modeling analysis

Groundwater for domestic and irrigation purposes is produced primarily from shallow parts of the Bengal Basin aquifer system (India and Bangladesh), which contains high concentrations of dissolved arsenic (exceeding worldwide drinking water standards), though deeper groundwater is generally low in arsenic. An essential first step for determining sustainable management of the deep groundwater resource is identification of hydrogeologic controls on flow and quantification of basin-scale groundwater flow patterns. Results from groundwater modeling, in which the Bengal Basin aquifer system is represented as a single aquifer with higher horizontal than vertical hydraulic conductivity, indicate that this anisotropy is the primary hydrogeologic control on the natural flowpath lengths. Despite extremely low hydraulic gradients due to minimal topographic relief, anisotropy implies large-scale (tens to hundreds of kilometers) flow at depth. Other hydrogeologic factors, including lateral and vertical changes in hydraulic conductivity, have minor effects on overall flow patterns. However, because natural hydraulic gradients are low, the impact of pumping on groundwater flow is overwhelming; modeling indicates that pumping has substantially changed the shallow groundwater budget and flowpaths from predevelopment conditions.     

A new model (DRARCH) for assessing groundwater vulnerability to arsenic contamination at basin scale: a case study in Taiyuan basin,northern China

A modified DRASTIC model for groundwater vulnerability assessment (abbreviated as DRARCH model by combining the first letters of its six assessment indices) was proposed. It is essentially the specific application of DRASTIC model rather than a new model. Both natural hydrogeological conditions that prevent groundwater from contamination and important intrinsic hydrogeochemical properties of sediments in vadose zone that are related to the retardation of contaminants were considered as vulnerability indices. The DRARCH model consists of six indices: (1) Depth to the water table, (2) net Recharge, (3) Aquifer thickness, (4) Ratio of cumulative thickness of clay layers to total thickness of vadose zone, (5) Contaminant adsorption coefficient of sediment in vadose zone, and (6) Hydraulic conductivity of aquifer. The rating values and the weights of these vulnerability indices were obtained by contaminant transport simulation and factor analysis method respectively. Furthermore, the DRARCH model was applied to evaluate the groundwater vulnerability to arsenic contamination in Taiyuan basin, northern China, where groundwaters with high arsenic concentration occur in some localities. GIS-based mapping of groundwater vulnerability using this model indicates that the distribution of very high and high-vulnerability areas corresponds well to that of high-arsenic groundwaters. The DRARCH model is therefore reliable and useful for guiding groundwater environment management.     

Regional hydrostratigraphy and groundwater flow modeling in the arsenic-affected areas of the western Bengal basin, West Bengal, India

The first documented interpretation of the regional-scale hydrostratigraphy and groundwater flow is presented for a ～21,000-km² area of the arsenic-affected districts of West Bengal [Murshidabad, Nadia, North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas (including Calcutta)], India. A hydrostratigraphic model demonstrates the presence of a continuous, semi-confined sand aquifer underlain by a thick clay aquitard. The aquifer thickens toward the east and south. In the south, discontinuous clay layers locally divide the near-surface aquifer into several deeper, laterally connected, confined aquifers. Eight 22-layer model scenarios of regional groundwater flow were developed based on the observed topography, seasonal conditions, and inferred hydrostratigraphy. The models suggest the existence of seasonally variable, regional, north–south flow across the basin prior to the onset of extensive pumping in the 1970s. Pumping has severely distorted the flow pattern, inducing high vertical hydraulic gradients across wide cones of depression. Pumping has also increased total recharge (including irrigational return flow), inflow from rivers, and sea water intrusion. Consequently, downward flow of arsenic contaminated shallow groundwater appears to have resulted in contamination of previously safe aquifers by a combination of mechanical mixing and changes in chemical equilibrium.     

Hydrological characterization of Budge Budge and Dum Dum areas of south and north 24 Parganas districts,West Bengal using geoelectric and geochemical methods

Integrated geoelectric, geological and geochemical investigations are carried out in Budge Budge and Dum Dum areas of south and north 24 Parganas district for ascertaining the prevailing hydrological condition and aquifer characteristic with chemical qualities of groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes. The proposed areas are constituted of alluvium and marine sediments of Quaternary age being a part of Gangetic delta. Vertical electrical soundings (VES) of Budge Budge have delineated four to six layers consisting of top soils, the brackish water zone, clay layer, first fresh water zone, another clay layer and the bottom-most(sixth layer) second fresh water bearing zone. The first fresh water zone is located at a depth of 128 m with thickness of 43 m having resistivity range of 32 ohm.m to 37 ohm.m for VES locations BB2 and BB3. The resistivity of the deeper second fresh water bearing zone is varying from 47 ohm.m to 51 ohm.m. The interpreted VES results significantly correspond with the borehole litholog of Budge Budge area. Similar VES results are also obtained for Dum Dum area showing promising potential aquifer zone especially for VES locations DD3 and DD4. A litho-resistivity relation is also determined for the area. Total TDS content of Budge Budge ground water samples are ranging from 720 mg/l to 4400 mg/l and same is ranging from 1012 mg/l to 1930mg/l for Dum Dum ground water samples. According to IS standard, the value of major cations and anions are near to the permissible limit for Dum Dum but same is not observed in Budge Budge for drinking and irrigation purpose excepting location G7. According to Piper trilinear diagram, the ground water in Budge Budge area is sulphate rich type and in Dum Dum it is fresh in nature. Chemically, the groundwater samples from Dum Dum and Budge Budge is classified as (Ca+Mg+Cl+SO₄) facies. The geochemical parameters like total hardness (TH), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), soluble sodium percentage (SSP), Kelly’s ratio (KR), magnesium ratio (MR), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), corrosivity ratio (CR), Gibb’s ratio-I&II (GR-I & GR-II), chloro alkaline indices (CAI-I & CAI-II), permeability index (PI), sea water contamination (SWC) are also determined for better understanding of the quality of groundwater in the above areas.     

The hydrogeology of Adama-Wonji basin and assessment of groundwater level changes in Wonji wetland,Main Ethiopian Rift: results from 2D tomography and electrical sounding methods

Rise of groundwater level becomes an emerging concern at Wonji irrigation field, Main Ethiopian Rift. An integrated study based on geophysical resistivity methods is conducted at Wonji wetland to understand the link between irrigation water and the shallow aquifer system as well as to confirm the current concern of groundwater rise. The study was also intended to improve the uncertainty of understanding the hydrogeology of Wonji wetland including the extent and direction of groundwater–surface water interaction. The vertical and horizontal contacts between the different geological series of the Wonji area are resolved with 2D high-resolution geophysical imaging. Results from both VES and 2D tomography show low resistivity layers under Wonji irrigation field with narrow ranges in resistivity variation which corresponds to a homogeneous saturated layer. The geoelectric sections reveal two fault systems running NW–SE and N–S directions which impede lateral groundwater flow. Furthermore, groundwater is converged towards the Wonji irrigation site strained by these fault systems. The geophysical results show strong link between irrigation water and the shallow unconfined aquifer as well as among the local and regional flow systems.     

水动力因素对砷在河砂中迁移影响的柱试验与模拟

河岸带作为一种典型的地下水-地表水相互作用带,不同水动力学条件下砷在该作用带中的行为较少有研究报道。基于此,采集河岸带河砂开展室内柱试验,分析不同水动力因素（包括流速和粒径）对砷在河砂中迁移的影响并建立相关模型。结果表明:(1) 0.5 mL/min流速下,河砂对As(V)的吸附速度和达到平衡所需的时间均比As(III)快,且粒径越小,该现象越明显;1.0 mL/min流速下,不同粒径的河砂对As(V)的吸附速度随粒径的增大而增大,对As(III)的吸附则没有明显差异;(2) 相同粒径的填充柱中,河砂对As(III)和As(V)的吸附能力均随流速的增加而降低;(3)不同流速和粒径条件下,As(III)和As(V)在砂柱中的迁移过程均更符合Thomas模型,拟合R2高于相同条件下Yoon-Nelson和Adams-Bohart模型。其中,低流速下,Thomas模型对0.15～0.25 mm粒径中As(III)和As(V)迁移过程拟合的R2（≥0.94）显著优于1.00～2.00 mm的较大粒径;高流速下,该模型对不同粒径中砷迁移过程的拟合R2差异不大。研究有助于加深对地下水-地表水相互作用下水动力因素对砷迁移转化规律影响的认识,并丰富和完善高砷地下水形成的机制理论。
