Oxygen and hydrogen isotopes for the characteristics of groundwater recharge: a case study from the Chih-Pen Creek basin,Taiwan 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
Assessing the seasonal variation of groundwater recharge is important for effective management of groundwater resources. Stable
isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen were used to estimate the sources of groundwater and seasonal contributions of precipitation
to groundwater recharge in Chih-Pen Creek basin of eastern Taiwan. Based on the isotopes of precipitation (n = 177), two different local meteoric water regression lines (LMWL) can be obtained for the different seasons: δD = 8.0618O + 10.08 for wet season precipitation (May through October) and δD = 8.65δ18O + 17.09 for dry season precipitation (November through April). The slope and intercept of regression line for wet season
precipitation are virtually identical to the global meteoric water line (GMWL) of Craig (1961). In contrast to during dry season precipitation due to evaporation effect the intercept of 17.09 is much higher than of
the GMWL of 10. The results show the stable isotopes compositions of precipitation decrease with increasing rainfall amount
and air temperature, due to the amount effect of precipitation is pronounced. The amount effect is clearly but do not show
the temperature effect from January to December 2007. Using a mass-balance equation, a comparison of deuterium excess or d values of precipitation and groundwater indicates the groundwater consist of 76% wet season precipitation and 24% dry season
precipitation, representing a distinct seasonal variation of groundwater recharge in study area. About 79% of the groundwater
is recharged from the river water of the mountain watershed and 21% is from the rain that falls on the basin. 相似文献

Hydrogeological and mixing process of waters in aquifers in arid regions: a case study in San Luis Potosi Valley,Mexico 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The climatic conditions of arid regions are characterized by high temperatures, low precipitation and high evapotranspiration
rates that can explain the reduced recharge of aquifers. Thus, in these regions, there are some problems related to the groundwater
quality and recharge that makes worse the problem of groundwater supply. A model, taking into account ternary mixtures, is
presented and applied to a case study: the aquifer of San Luis Potosi valley located in the highlands of the central part
of Mexico. In this valley, four hydrochemical facies were identified that correspond to the Ca–Na + K–HCO3, Na + K–Ca–HCO3, Ca–HCO3 and Ca–SO4 types. From this characterization, it was found out that the recharge area (known as Bledos Graben) is located at the SE
of the valley; the deep water flow comes from there (Villa de Reyes and Alvarez Range) to the center of the valley. Mixture
fractions were obtained by using chlorides and fluorides as conservative elements, from which it was possible to quantify
the contribution of each member to the groundwater quality. According to these results, the contributions to the water extracted
from this aquifer are as follows: shallow flows 50%, deep flows from Villa de Reyes 27%, and flows coming from the Alvarez
Ranges about 15%. 相似文献

Hydrogeologic data of 455 water wells comprising geologic logs, water qualities, and aquifer test results are analyzed to
determine hydrogeological characteristics, water quality, and sustainable yield of the groundwater resources of Cheju volcanic
island. The groundwater of the island occurs in unconsolidated pyroclastic deposits and clinkers interbedded in highly jointed
basaltic and andesitic rocks as high-level, basal, and parabasal groundwater under unconfined conditions. The total storage
of groundwater is estimated at about 44 billion m3. The average transmissivity and specific yield of the aquifer are at about 0.34 m2 s–1(29300 m2 day–1) and 0.12, respectively. The average annual precipitation is about 3.39 billion m3, of which 1.49 billion m3– equivalent to 44.0% of the total annual precipitation – is recharged into aquifers, with 0.638 billion m3 year–1 of runoff and 1.26 billion m3 year–1 of evapotranspiration. Based on a groundwater budget analysis, the sustainable yield is estimated at about 0.62 billion m3 year–1, equivalent to 41.6% of annual recharge. A low-permeability marine sedimentary formation (Sehwari formation), composed of
loosely cemented sandy silt, was recently found to be situated at 120±68 m below mean sea level. If the said marine sediment
is distributed as a basal formation of the freshwater zone of the island, most of its groundwater will be of parabasal type.
So the marine sediment is one of the most important hydrogeological boundaries and groundwater occurrences in the area.

Environmental controls on stable isotope precipitation values over Mali and Niger,West Africa 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This study evaluated the effects of the environmental factors precipitation amount (P), temperature (T), and vapor pressure (V
p) on the stable isotope composition (δ) of precipitation and the excess-deuterium (d) parameter in Mali and Niger, West Africa. At both locations, δ values were greatly affected by seasonal climatic conditions and a statistically significant negative correlation was observed
between δ and P. In Mali, a statistically significant negative correlation was also observed between δ and V
p. There was no statistically significant correlation between δ and T. Mean-weighting of δ values may be masking both dry-season and individual storm event precipitation phenomena, which are otherwise observed in
arithmetically averaged δ values. Mean monthly d values for peak monsoonal months indicate that precipitation is first-fraction, gaining little recycled water on its journey
inland from the Atlantic Ocean near the equator. Agreement between rainy-season precipitation and groundwater δ values, specifically peak monsoonal months, indicates that groundwater is being recharged by infiltration of current monsoonal
rains and is not paleo-groundwater recharged under past climatic conditions. Similarity between rainy-season precipitation
and groundwater d values provide another indication that monsoonal precipitation under current climatic conditions is the source of groundwater
recharge. The knowledge that groundwater is recently recharged monsoonal rains, rather than paleo-groundwater, is important
for evaluating groundwater sustainability and the effects that climate change will have on water resources. Understanding
and predicting changes in precipitation amounts and intensities, which ultimately affect timing and amount of groundwater
recharge, is critical for water resource management. 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 δ2H and δ18O 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 km2). In the Caopingxigou Experimental Watershed (0.1 km2), 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 δ2H–δ18O relation of groundwater was found to be δ2H = 3.22 × δ18O − 38.1, deviating from the local meteoric water line δ2H = 7.57 × δ18O + 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

The stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen were used to determine the seasonal contributions of precipitation to groundwater
recharge at a forested catchment area in the upper North Han River basin, Korea. A comparison of the stable isotopic signatures
of groundwater and precipitation indicates that the precipitations which occurred during both the dry and rainy seasons are
the important source of groundwater recharge in this region. A stable isotopic signature shown in the stream waters at the
upstream reaches is similar to that of groundwaters, indicating that stream waters are mostly fed by groundwater discharge.
Reservoir waters in the downstream flood control dams have lower deuterium excess values or d-values compared with those of the upstream waters, indicating a secondary evaporative enrichment. These results can provide
a basis for the effective management of groundwater and stream water resources in the North Han River basin. 相似文献

A strong geochemical gradient was observed in the thick overburden aquifer of the Asa drainage basin. Different types of
groundwater occur at different (downslope) locations and groundwater table depths. The following sequence was noticed with
increasing distance downslope or with increasing groundwater table depth:
1. Ca–Mg–HCO3 water at about 390-m groundwater table elevations or upslope locations.
2. Ca–Mg–HCO3–Cl water at middle-slope locations or groundwater table elevations of about 350 m above sea level;
3. Ca–Mg–SO4–Cl water at downslope locations or groundwater table elevations of about 300 m above sea level.
In this basin, changes in the type of water are expected at about every 40–50 m depth from the surface. Statistical analysis
via the determination of the correlation coefficient (r) and regression analysis shows that about 80–99% of the variation in groundwater chemistry is accounted for by the topography,
using the model presented in this paper. The rate of change in the sequence will depend on the permeability of the aquifer,
which determines the rate of groundwater flow and the residence time, and the nature of recharge.

Recharge source and hydrogeochemical evolution of shallow groundwater in a complex alluvial fan system,southwest of North China Plain 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Fadong Li Guoying Pan Changyuan Tang Qiuying Zhang Jingjie Yu 《Environmental Geology》2008,55(5):1109-1122
Many cities around the world are developed at alluvial fans. With economic and industrial development and increase in population,
quality and quantity of groundwater are often damaged by over-exploitation in these areas. In order to realistically assess
these groundwater resources and their sustainability, it is vital to understand the recharge sources and hydrogeochemical
evolution of groundwater in alluvial fans. In March 2006, groundwater and surface water were sampled for major element analysis
and stable isotope (oxygen-18 and deuterium) compositions in Xinxiang, which is located at a complex alluvial fan system composed
of a mountainous area, Taihang Mt. alluvial fan and Yellow River alluvial fan. In the Taihang mountainous area, the groundwater
was recharged by precipitation and was characterized by Ca–HCO3 type water with depleted δ18O and δD (mean value of −8.8‰ δ18O). Along the flow path from the mountainous area to Taihang Mt. alluvial fan, the groundwater became geochemically complex
(Ca–Na–Mg–HCO3–Cl–SO4 type), and heavier δ18O and δD were observed (around −8‰ δ18O). Before the surface water with mean δ18O of −8.7‰ recharged to groundwater, it underwent isotopic enrichment in Taihang Mt. alluvial fan. Chemical mixture and ion
exchange are expected to be responsible for the chemical evolution of groundwater in Yellow River alluvial fan. Transferred
water from the Yellow River is the main source of the groundwater in the Yellow River alluvial fan in the south of the study
area, and stable isotopic compositions of the groundwater (mean value of −8.8‰ δ18O) were similar to those of transferred water (−8.9‰), increasing from the southern boundary of the study area to the distal
end of the fan. The groundwater underwent chemical evolution from Ca–HCO3, Na–HCO3, to Na–SO4. A conceptual model, integrating stiff diagrams, is used to describe the spatial variation of recharge sources, chemical
evolution, and groundwater flow paths in the complex alluvial fan aquifer system. 相似文献

Assessing groundwater recharge characteristics (recharge rate, history, mechanisms (piston and preferential flow)) and groundwater age in arid and semi-arid environments remains a difficult but important research frontier. Such assessments are particularly important when the unsaturated zone (UZ) is thick and the recharge rate is limited. This study combined evaluations of the thick UZ with those of the saturated zone and used multiple tracers, such as Cl, NO3, Br, 2H, 18O, 13C, 3H and 14C, to study groundwater recharge characteristics in an integrated loess tableland in the Loess Plateau, China, where precipitation infiltration is the only recharge source for shallow groundwater. The results indicate that diffuse recharge beneath crops, as the main land use of the study area, is 55–71 mm yr?1 based on the chloride mass balance of soil profiles. The length of time required for annual precipitation to reach the water table is 160–400 yrs. The groundwater is all pre-modern water and paleowater, with corrected 14C age ranging from 136 to 23,412 yrs. Most of the water that eventually becomes recharge originally infiltrated in July–September. The Cl and NO3 contents in the upper UZ are considerably higher than those in the deep UZ and shallow groundwater because of recent human activities. The shallow groundwater has not been in hydraulic equilibrium with present near-surface boundary conditions. The homogeneous material of the UZ and relatively old groundwater age imply that piston flow is the dominant recharge mechanism for the shallow groundwater in the tableland. 相似文献

Groundwater recharge in arid areas induced by tropical cyclones: lessons learned from Gonu 2007 in Sultanate of Oman 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
Younger groundwater found in some Omani aquifers is a result of recent recharge from cyclonic and storm events [Weyhenmeyer
et al. (Science 287:842–845, 2000); Young et al. (J Appl Geophys 57:43–61, 2004)]. The analysis of the meteorological data in Oman indicates an anomalous rainfall on a decadal interval whereas cyclones
frequency is expected to increase due to global climatic changes. The cyclone Gonu has severely struck the eastern Omani coasts
in 2007 resulting in devastating floods. Huge volume of water (3,672 mm3) spread over the coastal plain calling for an assessment of potential groundwater recharge subsequent to this event. The
present study evaluates groundwater recharge with respect to Gonu 2007 to assess the potential of recharge induced by such
cyclones in the arid zones. The hydrographs of several piezometers sited along the coastal plain in Muscat Province have been
studied and variation in water table rise has been analyzed. Significant water table rise is indicated for areas with geological
and structural settings favoring rapid infiltration of water yielding considerable groundwater mound, whereas piezometers
located in less favorable zones show minimum rise of water table. However, soon after the floods the aquifer hydrodynamics
has readjusted to attain equilibrium and the groundwater mound dissipated. The cumulative rise of the water table on an areal
extent does not exceed a few centimeters indicating lesser volume of recharge. Comparatively, recharge from frequent precipitation
along favorable zones produces more significant recharge compared with cyclonic events where surface water residence time
is shorter to allow for efficient infiltration. 相似文献

Quantification of groundwater recharge in the city of Nottingham, UK 总被引:13,自引:3,他引:10
Groundwater is an important and valuable resource for water supply to cities. In order to make full and wise use of the asset
value, a clear understanding of the quantities and sources of urban groundwater recharge is needed. The water supply and disposal
network is often an important source of recharge to urban groundwater through leakage from water mains and sewers. An approach
to establishing the spatial and temporal amounts of the three urban recharge sources (precipitation, mains and sewers) is
developed and illustrated using the Nottingham (UK) urban aquifer. A calibrated groundwater flow model is supplemented by
calibrated solute balances for three conservative species (Cl, SO4 and total N), thus providing four lines of evidence to use in the recharge estimation. Nottingham is located on a Triassic
sandstone aquifer with average precipitation of 700 mm/year. Using the models, current urban recharge is estimated to be 211
mm/year, of which 138 mm/year (±40%) is from mains leakage and 10 mm/year (±100%) is from sewer leakage. The wide confidence
intervals result from the scarcity of historical field data and the long turnover time in this high volume aquifer, and should
be significantly lower for many other aquifer systems.

Hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater in the Zhangye Basin, Northwestern China 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The Zhangye Basin, located in arid northwest China, is an important agricultural and industrial center. In recent years rapid
development has created an increased demand for water, which is increasingly being fulfilled by groundwater abstraction. Detailed
knowledge of the geochemical evolution of groundwater and water quality can enhance understanding of the hydrochemical system,
promoting sustainable development and effective management of groundwater resources. To this end, a hydrochemical investigation
was conducted in the Zhangye Basin. Types of shallow groundwater in the Zhangye Basin were found to be HCO3
−, HCO3
−–SO4
2−, SO4
2−–HCO3
−, SO4
2−–Cl−, Cl−–SO4
2− and Cl− . The deep aquifer groundwater type was found to be HCO3−–SO42− throughout the entire area. Ionic ratio and saturation index calculations suggest that silicate rock weathering and evaporation
deposition are the main processes that determine the ionic composition in the study area. The suitability of the groundwater
for irrigation was assessed based on the US Salinity Laboratory salinity classification and the Wilcox diagram. In the study
area, the compositions of the stable isotopes δ18O and δD in groundwater samples were found to range from −4.00 to −9.28‰ and from −34.0 to −65.0‰, respectively. These values
indicate that precipitation is the main recharge source for the groundwater system; some local values indicate high levels
of evaporation. Tritium analysis was used to estimate the ages of the different groundwaters; the tritium values of the groundwater
samples varied from 3.13 to 36.62 TU. The age of the groundwater at depths of less than 30 m is about 5–10 years. The age
of the groundwater at depths of 30–50 m is about 10–23 years. The age of the groundwater at depths of 50–100 m is about 12–29 years.
For groundwater samples at depths of greater than 100 m, the renewal time is about 40 years. 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 δ18O–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.

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

The spatial and temporal changes of the composition of the groundwater from the springs along the Wadi Qilt stream running
from the Jerusalem–Ramallah Mountains towards the Jericho Plain is studied during the hydrological year 2006/2007. The residence
time and the intensity of recharge play an important role in controlling the chemical composition of spring water which mainly
depends on distance from the main recharge area. A very important factor is the oxidation of organics derived from sewage
and garbage resulting in variable dissolved CO2 and associated HCO3
− concentration. High CO2 yields lower pH values and thus under-saturation with respect to calcite and dolomite. Low CO2 concentrations result in over-saturation. Only at the beginning and at the end of the rainy season calcite saturation is
achieved. The degradation of dissolved organic matter is a major source for increasing water hardness. Besides dissolution
of carbonates dissolved species such as nitrate, chloride, and sulfate are leached from soil and aquifer rocks together with
only small amounts of Mg. Mg not only originates from carbonates but also from Mg–Cl waters are leached from aquifer rocks.
Leaching of Mg–Cl brines is particularly high at the beginning of the winter season and lowest at its end. Two zones of recharge
are distinguishable. Zone 1 represented by Ein Fara and Ein Qilt is fed directly through the infiltration of meteoric water
and surface runoff from the mountains along the eastern mountain slopes with little groundwater residence time and high flow
rate. The second zone is near the western border of Jericho at the foothills, which is mainly fed by the under-groundwater
flow from the eastern slopes with low surface infiltration rate. This zone shows higher groundwater residence time and slower
flow rate than zone 1. Groundwater residence time and the flow rate within the aquifer systems are controlled by the geological
structure of the aquifer, the amount of active recharge to the aquifer, and the recharge mechanism. The results of this study
may be useful in increasing the efficiency of freshwater exploitation in the region. Some precautions, however, should be
taken in future plans of artificial recharge of the aquifers or surface-water harvesting in the Wadi. Because of evaporation
and associated groundwater deterioration, the runoff water should be artificially infiltrated in zones of Wadis with high
storage capacity of aquifers. Natural infiltration along the Wadis lead to evaporation losses and less quality of groundwater. 相似文献

Hydrogeochemical processes in the groundwater environment of Heihe River Basin,northwest China 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The Heihe River Basin is a typical arid inland river basin for examining stress on groundwater resources in northwest China.
The basin is composed of large volumes of unconsolidated Quaternary sediments of widely differing grain size, and during the
past half century, rapid socio-economic development has created an increased demand for groundwater resources. Understanding
the hydrogeochemical processes of groundwater and water quality is important for sustainable development and effective management
of groundwater resources in the Heihe River basin. To this end, a total of 30 representative groundwater samples were collected
from different wells to monitor the water chemistry of various ions and its quality for irrigation. Chemical analysis shows
that water presents a large spatial variability of chemical facies (SO4
2−–HCO3−, SO4
2−–Cl−, and Cl−–SO4
2−) as groundwater flow from recharge area to discharge area. The ionic ratio indicates positive correlation between the flowing
pairs of parameters: Cl− and Na+(r = 0.95), SO4
2− and Na+ (r = 0.84), HCO3
− and Mg2+(r = 0.86), and SO4
2− and Ca2+ (r = 0.91). Dissolution of minerals, such as halite, gypsum, dolomite, silicate, and Mirabilite (Na2SO4·10H2O) in the sediments results in the Cl−, SO4
2−, HCO3
−, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ content in the groundwater. Other reactions, such as evaporation, ion exchange, and deposition also influence the water composition.
The suitability of the groundwater for irrigation was assessed based on the US Salinity Laboratory salinity classification
and the Wilcox diagram. The results show that most of the groundwater samples are suitable for irrigation uses barring a few
locations in the dessert region in the northern sub-basin. 相似文献

Vegetation cover plays an important role in the process of evaporation and infiltration. To explore the relationships between
precipitation, soil water and groundwater in Taihang mountainous region, China, precipitation, soil water and water table
were observed from 2004 to 2006, and precipitation, soil water and groundwater were sampled in 2004 and 2005 for oxygen-18
and deuterium analysis at Chongling catchment. The soil water was sampled at three sites covered by grass (Carex humilis and Carex lanceolata), acacia and arborvitae respectively. Precipitation is mainly concentrated in rainy seasons and has no significant spatial
variance in study area. The stable isotopic compositions are enriched in precipitation and soil water due to the evaporation.
The analysis of soil water potential and isotopic profiles shows that evaporation of soil water under arborvitae cover is
weaker than under grass and acacia, while soil water evaporation under grass and acacia showed no significant difference.
Both δ18O profiles and soil water potential dynamics reveal that the soil under acacia allows the most rapid infiltration rate, which
may be related to preferential flow. In the process of infiltration after a rainstorm, antecedent water still takes up over
30% of water in the topsoil. The soil water between depths of 0–115 cm under grass has a residence time of about 20 days in
the rainy season. Groundwater recharge from precipitation mainly occurs in the rainy season, especially when rainstorms or
successive heavy rain events happen. 相似文献

According to the characteristics of groundwater in arid area, this paper proposes DRAV model for groundwater vulnerability
assessment, where D is groundwater depth, R is the net recharge of aquifer, A is the aquifer characteristics, and V is the lithology of vadose zone. As a case study, the paper assesses the vulnerability of pore phreatic water in Tarim Basin
of Xinjiang, China by using the DRAV model. The results indicate that the areas of phreatic water with vulnerability index
ranges of 2–4, 4–6, 6–8 and >8 accounting for 10.1, 80.4, 9.2 and 0.2% of the total plain area of the Tarim Basin respectively,
and the areas with the latter two vulnerability ranges (6–8 and >8) are mainly located in the irrigation districts with thin
soil layer (20–30 cm thick surface soil of vadose zone, mainly with underlying sandy gravel) and with silty and fine sand
layer. Such vadose zone generally lacks sandy loam and clayey soil and has larger recharge by infiltration of irrigation water. 相似文献

The groundwater in headwater region is an important recharge source for the adjacent mountain-front plain. In order to reveal
the relationship among precipitation, soil water and groundwater, from June to September in 2004, stable isotopes (deuterium
and oxygen-18) in precipitation and soil waters at the depths of 10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 90, and 110 cm were analyzed at two sites
covered by black locust (Robinia Pseudoacia L.) (Site A) and grass predominated by Themeda triandra (T. japonica (Willd.) Tanaka) and Bothriochloa ischaemum (B. ischaemum (L.) Keng) (Site B) in an experimental catchment at Taihang Mt., North China, respectively. The δ18O of precipitation in daily rain events shows large variations (−13.3 to −4.3‰) with a mean of 8.1‰. The δ18O and δ D of soil waters along profiles in two sites suggest that the influence of canopy cover was just up to 10 cm in top
soil water. The soil water moved over the zero flux plane at 70 cm in-depth is expected to escape the evaporative effect at
the end of September in both sites. The results show that the stable isotope, instead of tritium as tradition, can be used
to trace the soil water behaviors based on the movement of isotopic peak along the vertical profiles in this semi-arid and
semi-humid mountainous region. The infiltration depths of soil water in Taihang Mt. are 12 and 10 mm/day from June to September
in 2004 in Site A and Site B, respectively. Tracing by stable isotope, recharge fluxes of soil water to local groundwater
are of 3.8 and 3.2 mm/day in Site A and Site B, respectively. The results provide desirable information for assessment of
local groundwater resources.

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–HCO3 type is a chemically evolved equivalent of surface waters and rain water with Ca–Mg–Cl–SO4 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 δ18O/100 m, but the springs which were recharged at 452, 679, and 773 m asl show enrichment of δ18O 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 NO3
−. 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
