The sea level rise has its own-bearing on the coastal recession and hydro-environmental degradation of the River Nile Delta.
Attempts are made here to use remote sensing to detect the coastal recession in some selected parts and delineating the chemistry
of groundwater aquifers and surface water, which lie along south-mid-northern and coastal zone of the Nile Delta. Eight water
samples from groundwater monitoring wells and 13 water samples from surface water were collected and analyzed for various
hydrochemical parameters. The groundwater samples are classified into five hydrochemical facies on Hill-Piper trilinear diagram
based on the dominance of different cations and anions: facies 1: Ca–Mg–Na–HCO3–Cl–SO4 type I; facies 2: Na–Cl–HCO3 type II; facies 3: Na–Ca–Mg–Cl type III, facies 4: Ca–Na–Mg–Cl–HCO3 type IV and facies 5: Na–Mg–Cl type V. The hydrochemical facies showed that the majority of samples were enriched in sodium,
bicarbonate and chloride types and, which reflected that the sea water and tidal channel play a major role in controlling
the groundwater chemical composition in the Quaternary shallow aquifers, with a severe degradation going north of Nile Delta.
Also, the relationship between the dissolved chloride (Cl, mmol/l), as a variable, and other major ion combinations (in mmol/l)
were considered as another criterion for chemical classification system. The low and medium chloride groundwater occurs in
southern and mid Nile Delta (Classes A and B), whereas the high and very high chloride (classes D and C) almost covers the
northern parts of the Nile Delta indicating the severe effect of sea water intrusion. Other facets of hydro-environmental
degradation are reflected through monitoring the soil degradation process within the last two decades in the northern part
of Nile Delta. Land degradation was assessed by adopting new approach through the integration of GLASOD/FAO approach and Remote
Sensing/GIS techniques. The main types of human induced soil degradation observed in the studied area are salinity, alkalinity
(sodicity), compaction and water logging. On the other hand, water erosion because of sea rise is assessed. Multi-dates satellite
data from Landsat TM and ETM+ images dated 1983 and 2003 were used to detect the changes of shoreline during the last two
decades. The obtained results showed that, the eroded areas were determined as 568.20 acre; meanwhile the accreted areas were
detected as 494.61 acre during the 20-year period. 相似文献

Hydrochemical appraisal of groundwater and its suitability in the intensive agricultural area of Muzaffarnagar district,Uttar Pradesh,India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Muzaffarnagar is an economically rich district situated in the most fertile plains of two great rivers Ganga and Yamuna in
the Indo-gangetic plains, with agricultural land irrigated by both surface water as well as groundwater. An investigation
has been carried out to understand the hydrochemistry of the groundwater and its suitability for irrigation uses. Groundwater
in the study area is neutral to moderately alkaline in nature. Chemistry of groundwater suggests that alkaline earths (Ca + Mg)
significantly exceed the alkalis (Na + K) and weak acids exceed the strong acids (Cl + SO4), suggesting the dominance of carbonate weathering followed by silicate weathering. Majority of the groundwater samples (62%)
posses Ca–Mg–HCO3 type of hydrochemical species, followed by Ca–Na–Mg–HCO3, Na–Ca–Mg–HCO3, Ca–Mg–Na–HCO3–Cl and Na–Ca–HCO3–SO4 types. A positive high correlation (r
2 = 0.928) between Na and Cl suggests that the salinity of groundwater is due to intermixing of two or more groundwater bodies
with different hydrochemical compositions. Barring a few locations, most of the groundwater samples are suitable for irrigation
uses. Chemical fertilizers, sugar factories and anthropogenic activities are contributing to the sulphate and chloride concentrations
in the groundwater of the study area. Overexploitation of aquifers induced multi componential mixing of groundwater with agricultural
return flow waters is responsible for generating groundwater of various compositions in its lateral extent. 相似文献

Physico-chemical parameters, major ion chemistry and isotope composition of surface and groundwaters were determined in forested
coastal catchments and adjacent coastal plains. Results showed obvious characterisation related to physical and hydrological
setting, and highly variable spatial differences reflecting the complexities of these areas. All these coastal waters are
dominated by Na–Cl and fall on a common dilution line; hydrochemical grouping is largely due to anionic differences (Cl, SO4 and HCO3), although Na and Mg ratios also vary. Six major hydrochemical facies were determined. For groundwaters, compositional differences
are largely related to aquifer material and level of confinement; for coastal groundwaters important are tidal effects and
proximity to the shoreline. Differentiation for surface waters is mainly by drainage morphology, flow regime plus proximity
to the coast. Connectivity between water bodies is reflected by minor base flow to catchment streams, including with flood
plain wetlands, but mostly occurs in low-lying zones where there is mixing of fresh and saline water within surface water
and subterranean estuaries, or by seawater intrusion enhanced by overuse. Oxygen and hydrogen isotopic data for confined and
semi-confined groundwaters along the coast indicates local recharge; fresh surface waters in the elevated catchments are shown
to be sourced further inland plus have experienced evaporation. 相似文献

Evaluation of groundwater quality in coastal areas: implications for sustainable agriculture 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:4
Seawater intrusion is a problem in the coastal areas of Korea. Most productive agricultural fields are in the western and
southern coastal areas of the country where irrigation predominantly relies on groundwater. Seawater intrusion has affected
agricultural productivity. To evaluate progressive encroachment of saline water, the Korean government established a seawater
intrusion monitoring well network, especially in the western and southern part of the peninsula. Automatic water levels and
EC monitoring and periodic chemical analysis of groundwater help track salinization. Salinization of fresh groundwater is
highly associated with groundwater withdrawal. A large proportion of the groundwaters are classified as Na–Cl and Ca–Cl types.
The Na–Cl types represent effects of seawater intrusion. The highest EC level was over 1.6 km inland and high Cl values were
observed up to 1.2 km inland. Lower ratios of Na/Cl and SO4/Cl than seawater values indicate the seawater encroachment. A linear relation between Na and Cl represents simple mixing
of the fresh groundwater with the seawater. The saline Na–Cl typed groundwaters showed Br/Cl ratios similar to or less than
seawater values. The Ca–HCO3 type groundwaters had the highest Br/Cl ratios. Substantial proportions of the groundwaters showed potential for salinity
and should be better managed for sustainable agriculture. 相似文献

Improvement of groundwater quality due to fresh water ingress in Potharlanka Island, Krishna delta, India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Hydrochemical study had been carried out on the groundwater resources of Potharlanka Island, Krishna delta, India. Groundwater
samples were collected and analyzed at 42 sites in December 2001 and October 2006. A comparative study of hydrochemical data
indicates: groundwater is mildly alkaline with a pH of 7.0–8.2; electrical conductivity (EC) varies from 605 to 5,770 μS/cm
in December 2001, and 652–5,310 μS/cm in October 2006. More than 62% of the groundwater samples in 2006 have TDS value <2,000 mg/l,
which is within permissible limit of potable water, but 57% of the samples in 2001, are higher than the maximum permissible
limit. Extremely low HCO3/Cl and variable high Mg/Ca (molar ratios) had been indicated the transformation of the fresh groundwater aquifer systems
to saline in 2001. Groundwater of this Island is mainly classified as Na–Cl and mixed types. A high percentage of Na–Cl type
of these waters indicates the possibility of seawater ingression/intrusion process during 2001 and comparatively mixed water
type indicates the dilution activities of groundwater. Excessive withdrawal of groundwater has caused the increase of saline
water intrusion. Improvement of groundwater quality in this Island due to artificial recharge structures made by NGRI under
RGNDWM project and affects of the flood due to heavy rainfall of the months of September–October 2005 are discussed in this
paper. 相似文献

The chemical analysis of 59 water wells in Meshkinshar area, Ardabil province NW of IRAN has been evaluated to determine the
hydrogeochemical processes and ion concentration background in the region. The dominated hydrochemical types are Na–SO4, Ca–HCO3, Na–HCO3 and Na–Cl in the whole area. Based on the total hardness, the groundwater is soft. According to electrical conductivity and
sodium adsorption ratio, the most dominant classes are C1–S1, C2–S1 and C3–S1. The major ion concentrations are below the
acceptable level for drinking water. The groundwater salinity hazard is medium to high but the Na hazard is low to medium
and in regard of irrigation water the quality is low to medium. So the drainage system is necessary to avoid the increase
of toxic salt concentrations. 相似文献

Groundwater samples were collected from 25 sampling sites of the Oropos–Kalamos basin aiming to describe the groundwater quality
in relation to geology, lithology and anthropogenic activities of the study area. Chromium speciation analysis, factor analysis,
GIS database and geochemical data proved successful tools for the identification of natural and anthropogenic factors controlling
the geochemical data variability and for the identification of the redox couple controlling Cr speciation. A Durov diagram
is used to classify groundwater quality into five types: Ca–HCO3, Mg–HCO3, Na–Cl, Mg–Cl and Ca–Cl. The groundwater quality of Oropos–Kalamos is influenced by various natural and anthropogenic factors.
Evaluation of water quality for drinking and irrigation purposes is discussed. 相似文献

Isotopic and geochemical characteristics of groundwater in the Senegal River delta aquifer: implication of recharge and flow regime 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

Groundwater and surface water samples were collected to improve understanding of the Senegal River Lower Valley and Delta
system, which is prone to salinization. Inorganic ion concentrations and environmental isotopes (18O, 2H and 3H) in groundwater, river, lake and precipitation were investigated to gain insight into the functioning of the system with
regard to recharge sources and process, groundwater renewability, hydraulic interconnection and geochemical evolution. The
geochemical characteristics of the system display mainly cation (Ca2+ and/or Na+) bicarbonated waters, which evolve to chloride water type; this occurs during groundwater flow in the less mineralized part
of the aquifer. In contrast, saline intrusion and secondary brines together with halite dissolution are likely to contaminate
the groundwater to Na–Cl type. Halite, gypsum and calcite dissolution determine the major ion (Na+, Cl−, Ca2+, Mg2+, SO4
2− and HCO3
−) chemistry, but other processes such as evaporation, salt deposition, ion exchange and reverse exchange reactions also control
the groundwater chemistry. Both surface water and groundwater in the system show an evaporation effect, but high evaporated
signatures in the groundwater may be due to direct evaporation from the ground, infiltration of evaporated water or enriched
rainwater in this region. The stable isotopes also reveal two types of groundwater in this system, which geomorphologically
are distributed in the sand dunes (depleted isotopes) and in the flood plain (enriched isotopes). Consideration of the 3H content reinforces this grouping and suggests two mechanisms of recharge: contribution of enriched surface water in recharging
the flood plain groundwater and, in the sand dunes area where water table is at depth between 8 and 13 m, slow recharge process
characterized the submodern to mixed water. 相似文献

High arsenic (As) groundwater is widely distributed in northwestern Hetao Plain, an arid region with sluggish groundwater
flow. Observed As concentration in groundwater from wells ranges from 76 to 1,093 μg/l. Most water samples have high total
dissolved solids, with Cl and HCO3 as the dominant anions and Na as the dominant cation. The major hydrochemical types of most saline groundwaters are Na–Mg–Cl–HCO3 and Na–Mg–Cl. By contrast, fresh groundwaters generally belong to the Na–Mg–HCO3 type. High concentrations of arsenic in shallow aquifers are associated with strongly reducing conditions, as evidenced by
high concentrations of dissolved organic carbon, ammonium, as well as dissolved sulfide and Fe, dominance of arsenite, relatively
low concentrations of nitrate and sulfate, and occasionally high content of dissolved methane (CH4). High As groundwaters from different places at Hetao Plain experienced different redox processes. Fluoride is also present
in high As groundwater, ranging between 0.40 and 3.36 mg/l. Although fluorosis poses an additional health problem in the region,
it does not correlate well with As in spatial distribution. Geochemical analysis indicates that evapotranspiration is an important
process controlling the enrichment of Na and Cl, as well as trace elements such as As, B, and Br in groundwater.

The Kali-Hindon is a watershed in the most productive central Ganga plain of India. The whole area is a fertile track with
sugarcane being the principal crop. Systematic sampling was carried out to assess the source of dissolved ions, impact of
sugar factories and the quality of groundwater. Thirty-six samples were collected covering an area of 395 km2. The quality of groundwater is suitable for irrigational purposes but is rich in SO4 which is not best for human consumption. Graphical treatment of major ion chemistry helps identify six chemical types of
groundwater. All possible species such as Na–Cl, K–Cl, Na–HCO3, Na–SO4, Ca–HCO3, Mg–HCO3, Ca–SO4 and Mg–SO4 are likely to occur in the groundwater system. The most conspicuous change in chemistry of groundwater is relative enrichment
of SO4. The interpretation of data reveals that SO4 has not been acquired through water–rock interaction. The source of SO4 is anthropogenic. Sugar factories alone are responsible for this potential environmental hazard. 相似文献

Large karstic springs in east-central Florida, USA were studied using multi-tracer and geochemical modeling techniques to better understand groundwater flow paths and mixing of shallow and deep groundwater. Spring water types included Ca–HCO3 (six), Na–Cl (four), and mixed (one). The evolution of water chemistry for Ca–HCO3 spring waters was modeled by reactions of rainwater with soil organic matter, calcite, and dolomite under oxic conditions. The Na–Cl and mixed-type springs were modeled by reactions of either rainwater or Upper Floridan aquifer water with soil organic matter, calcite, and dolomite under oxic conditions and mixed with varying proportions of saline Lower Floridan aquifer water, which represented 4–53% of the total spring discharge. Multiple-tracer data—chlorofluorocarbon CFC-113, tritium (3H), helium-3 (3Hetrit), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)—for four Ca–HCO3 spring waters were consistent with binary mixing curves representing water recharged during 1980 or 1990 mixing with an older (recharged before 1940) tracer-free component. Young-water mixing fractions ranged from 0.3 to 0.7. Tracer concentration data for two Na–Cl spring waters appear to be consistent with binary mixtures of 1990 water with older water recharged in 1965 or 1975. Nitrate-N concentrations are inversely related to apparent ages of spring waters, which indicated that elevated nitrate-N concentrations were likely contributed from recent recharge.The online version of the original article can be found at 相似文献

Geochemistry of fluoride rich groundwater in Kolar and Tumkur Districts of Karnataka 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Groundwater is a significant water resource in India for domestic, irrigation, and industrial needs. By far the most serious
natural groundwater-quality problem in India, in terms of public health, derives from high fluoride, arsenic, and iron concentrations.
Hydrogeochemical investigation of fluoride contaminated groundwater samples from Kolar and Tumkur Districts in Karnataka are
undertaken to understand the quality and potability of groundwater from the study area, the level of fluoride contamination,
the origin and geochemical mechanisms driving the fluoride enrichment. Majority of the groundwater samples did not meet the
potable water criteria as they contained excess (>1.5 mg/L) fluoride, dissolved salts (>500 mg/L) and total hardness (75–924 mg/L).
Hydrogeochemical facies of the groundwater samples suggest that rock weathering and evaporation–crystallization control the
groundwater composition in the study area with 50–67% of samples belonging to the Ca–HCO3 type and the remaining falling into the mixed Ca–Na–HCO3 or Ca–Mg–Cl type. The saturation index values indicated that the groundwater in the study area is oversaturated with respect
to calcite and under-saturated with respect to fluorite. The deficiency of calcium ion concentration in the groundwater from
calcite precipitation favors fluorite dissolution leading to excess fluoride concentration. 相似文献

The Yinchuan plain is located in the arid climate zone of NW China. The western margin of the plain is the Helan mountain connecting a series of normal slip faults. The eastern margin of the plain connects with the Yellow River and adjacents with the Ordos platform. The south of the plain is bordered by the EN fault of the Niushou mountain. The bottom of the plain is the Carboniferous, Permian, or Ordovician rocks. Based on the analysis of groundwater hydrochemical and isotopic indicators, this study aims to identify the groundwater recharge and discharge in the Yinchuan plain, China. The hydrochemical types of the groundwater are HCO3–SO4 in the west, HCO3–Cl in the middle, and Cl–SO4 in the east. The hydrochemical types are HCO3–SO4 in the south, HCO3–Cl and SO4–HCO3 in the middle. The hydrochemical types are complex in the north, mainly SO4–HCO3 and Cl–SO4. Deuterium, 18O, and tritium values of groundwater indicate that groundwater recharge sources include precipitation, bedrock fissure water, and irrigation return water. Groundwater discharges include evaporation, abstraction, and discharge to surface water. According to the EW isotopic profile, the groundwater flow system (GFS) in the Yinchuan plain can be divided into local flow systems (LFS) and regional flow systems (RFS). Groundwater has lower TDS and higher tritium in the southern Yellow River alluvial plain and groundwater age ranges from 6 to 25 years. The range of groundwater renewal rates is from 11 to 15 % a?1. The depth of the water cycle is small, and groundwater circulates fast and has high renewal rates. Groundwater has higher TDS and lower tritium in the northern Yellow River alluvial plain. The range of groundwater age is from 45 to 57 years, and renewal rate is from 6 to 0.1 % a?1. The depth of the water cycle is larger. Groundwater circulates slowly and has low renewal rates. 相似文献

National scale evaluation of groundwater chemistry in Korea coastal aquifers: evidences of seawater intrusion 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1

Pollution of groundwater by seawater intrusion poses a threat to sustainable agriculture in the coastal areas of Korea. Therefore, seawater intrusion monitoring stations were installed in eastern, western, and southern coastal areas and have been operated since 1998. In this study, groundwater chemistry data obtained from the seawater intrusion monitoring stations during the period from 2007 to 2009 were analyzed and evaluated. Groundwater was classified into fresh (<1,500 μS/cm), brackish (1,500–3,000 μS/cm), and saline (>3,000 μS/cm) according to EC levels. Among groundwater samples (n = 233), 56, 7, and 37% were classified as the fresh, brackish, and saline, respectively. The major dissolved components of the brackish and saline groundwaters were enriched compared with those of the fresh groundwater. The enrichment of Na+ and Cl− was especially noticeable due to seawater intrusion. Thus, the brackish and saline groundwaters were classified as Ca–Cl and Na–Cl types, while the fresh groundwater was classified as Na–HCO3 and Ca–HCO3 types. The groundwater included in the Na–Cl types indicated the effects of seawater mixing. Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, SO4 2−, and Br− showed good correlations with Cl− of over r = 0.624. Of these components, the strong correlations of Mg2+, SO4 2−, and Br− with Cl− (r ≥ 0.823) indicated a distinct mixing between fresh groundwater and seawater. The Ca/Cl and HCO3/Cl ratios of the groundwaters gradually decreased and approached those of seawater. The Mg/Cl, Na/Cl, K/Cl, SO4/Cl, and Br/Cl ratios of the groundwaters gradually decreased, and were similar to or lower than those of seawater, indicating that Mg2+, Na+, K+, SO4 2−, and Br−, as well as Cl− in the saline groundwater can be enriched by seawater mixing, while Ca2+ and HCO3 − are mainly released by weathering processes. The influence of seawater intrusion was evaluated using threshold values of Cl− and Br−, which were estimated as 80.5 and 0.54 mg/L, respectively. According to these criteria, 41–50% of the groundwaters were affected by seawater mixing. 相似文献

Analyses of 72 samples from Upper Panjhara basin in the northern part of Deccan Plateau, India, indicate that geochemical
incongruity of groundwater is largely a function of mineral composition of the basaltic lithology. Higher proportion of alkaline
earth elements to total cations and HCO3>Cl + SO4 reflect weathering of primary silicates as chief source of ions. Inputs of Cl, SO4, and NO3 are related to rainfall and localized anthropogenic factors. Groundwater from recharge area representing Ca + Mg–HCO3 type progressively evolves to Ca + Na–HCO3 and Na–Ca–HCO3 class along flow direction replicates the role of cation exchange and precipitation processes. While the post-monsoon chemistry
is controlled by silicate mineral dissolution + cation exchange reactions, pre-monsoon variability is attributable chiefly
to precipitation reactions + anthropogenic factors. Positive correlations between Mg vs HCO3 and Ca + Mg vs HCO3 supports selective dissolution of olivine and pyroxene as dominant process in post-monsoon followed by dissolution of plagioclase
feldspar and secondary carbonates. The pre-monsoon data however, points toward the dissolution of plagioclase and precipitation
of CaCO3 supported by improved correlation coefficients between Na + Ca vs HCO3 and negative correlation of Ca vs HCO3, respectively. It is proposed that the eccentricity in the composition of groundwater from the Panjhara basin is a function
of selective dissolution of olivine > pyroxene followed by plagioclase feldspar.
The data suggest siallitization (L < R and R
k) as dominant mechanism of chemical weathering of basalts, stimulating monosiallitic (kaolinite) and bisiallitic (montmorillonite)
products. The chemical denudation rates for Panjhara basin worked out separately for the ground and surface water component
range from 6.98 to 36.65 tons/km2/yr, respectively. The values of the CO2 consumption rates range between 0.18 × 106 mol//km2/yr (groundwater) and 0.9 × 106 mol/km2/yr (surface water), which indicates that the groundwater forms a considerable fraction of CO2 consumption, an inference, that is, not taken into contemplation in most of the studies. 相似文献

Twenty groundwater samples were collected from two different areas in Satkhira Sadar Upazila to identify the source of salinity
in deep groundwater aquifer. Most of the analyzed groundwater is of Na–Cl–HCO3 type water. The trends of anion and cation are Cl− > HCO3
− > NO3
− > SO4
2− and Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+, respectively. Groundwater chemistry in the study area is mainly governed by rock dissolution and ion exchange. The dissolved
minerals in groundwater mainly come from silicate weathering. The salinity of groundwater samples varies from ~1 to ~5%, and
its source is possibly the paleo-brackish water which may be entrapped during past geologic periods. 相似文献

A comparison of the d-excess values of precipitation and of spring water, streams, groundwater wells and submarine groundwater discharge indicated that the precipitation that occurred during winter season was an important source of groundwater recharge. Due to the steep slope of the island, most of the short duration and high intensity precipitation is lost through direct surface runoff. The comparison indicated that snowmelt is an important resource of groundwater recharge on Rishiri Island. Future climate change will continue to diminish the snowpack, and therefore, reduce groundwater recharge. It may cause the decline of the groundwater level in the coastal area and possibly shift the saline–freshwater boundary on the island. Chloride data indicated that saltwater intrusion is beginning to occur on the western flank of the island. A Piper diagram shows that the water samples are characterized by the dominance of the Ca–HCO3 and Na–Cl type. Their chemistry probably results from sea salt spray and the dissolution of minerals. These results support the need for the effective management of groundwater resources. 相似文献

Connate saltwaters are contained within the upper Pleistocene and overlying sediments. The high salinity of phreatic water
and subsoil has significant effects on the development of industry and agriculture in the area. This articie is a report on
conditions of the salt-fresh ground-water in the North Jiangsu Basin (NJB), China. Connate saltwaters in the western part
and within old dunes in the eastern part of the area have been flushed out by infiltrating meteoric water, since regression
happened about 1,000 years ago. A broad transition zone of saltwater-freshwater exists due to repeatedly eustatic sea-level
fluctuation during the Quaternary period, through analyzing relationships between marine beds and the distribution of salt-fresh
groundwater. In the coastal plain, the distribution of salt-fresh water is quite complex. There are four types of vertical
distribution represented by chloride and/or Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) profiles: (1) salt-fresh water inversion, (2) salt-brackish
water inversion, (3) salt-fresh-brackish water superimposition, and (4) salt-fresh-salt-fresh water superimposition.
Groundwater in the middle-layered aquifer system is replenished in some places in the west, and flows slowly eastward. Chemical
characters of water result from halite dissolution and incongruent dissolution of some aluminosilicate minerals, ion exchange
and adsorption, mixture of salt-fresh water, and others. Hydrochemical types evolve from HCO3 type to HCO3 Cl type, lacking the sulfate type due to the mixture of salt and freshwater. The Chebotarev hydrochemical evolution sequence
is, therefore, not relevant. 相似文献
