Analysis of groundwater quality for irrigation purposes in shallow aquifers: A case study from West Aceh,Indonesia

The aim of this study is to evaluate the groundwater quality in shallow aquifers from West Aceh, Sumatra, for irrigation uses. Groundwater samples have been collected from 32 stations for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), total dissolved solids (TDS), sodium percentage (per cent Na) and residual sodium carbonate (RSC) analysis. Evaluation of water quality for irrigation using the United States Salinity Laboratory classifications suggests that the majority of the groundwater samples are good for irrigation. The crop tolerance of irrigation water salinity, as based on EC value, showed that paddy (rice), soybeans and sweet tomatoes are suitable for agricultural cultivation, but that corn and field beans are not suitable. Results indicate that, if used for agricultural irrigation, the groundwater quality ranges from excellent to good, except for a few locations (e.g. Meureubo sub‐district) which indicate signs of deterioration.     

青海湖湖东沙地河湖-风成沉积记录的中晚全新世以来环境变化

青海湖盆地因其独特的地理位置和气候环境,对气候变化响应敏感,是研究环境变化重要的场所。本研究在青海湖湖东沙地获取两个剖面,采用AMS¹⁴C测年,结合岩性、粒径组分和常量元素氧化物及其比值等多指标分析方法,重建了湖东沙地8.4 ka BP以来的环境演变过程。结果表明：除少量沉积物处于中等化学风化阶段外,大部分沉积物处于物理风化和初级化学风化阶段,说明自8.4 ka BP以来研究区气候环境总体上相对寒冷干燥。在千年尺度上,研究区不同时间段的气候环境存在较大的差异。8.4—4.2 ka BP气候相对温暖湿润;其中,8.4—6.2 ka BP河湖相和风成相沉积互层,表明存在明显的百年尺度气候波动;6.2—4.2 ka BP化学风化和淋溶作用较强,表明季风降水较多,径流较强,发育了较为稳定的湖泊沉积环境。4.2 ka BP以来湖泊消失,化学风化和淋溶作用减弱,沉积物从砾石转变为砂质黄土,显示气候较为冷干且波动较大。对比分析表明,中晚全新世以来青海湖湖东沙地的气候变化特征与东亚季风边缘区其他区域基本一致,并主导了区域沉积环境的演变过程。     

近40ka来海南岛海岸沙地气候与环境演变

选择海南岛东、西海岸具有代表性和高分辨率特征的木堆、棋子湾等地层剖面,在建立年代序列的基础上,对风成沙粒度组成与参数、SC/D值及磁化率等代用指标的研究表明,末次冰期间冰阶时气候相对温暖,滨海平原上河流三角洲前移,湿地、沙丘与交错分布;末次盛冰期时气候干凉,海岸沙地上形成了多道平行延伸的古沙垄(丘),并与大陆架古沙丘形成连续性沉积;末次冰消期时气候快速变化,古沙垄(丘)或加积发育或固定成壤;全新世以来气候回暖并波动变化,次生沙丘经历多次半固定、固定－沙丘加积、活化的演变。     

沙区聚落模式及人居环境质量评价研究——以宁夏盐池县北部风沙区为例

选取沙化严重但近期沙化防治效果显著的宁夏盐池县北部风沙区为案例,基于SPOT 5遥感影像将沙区聚落按居民点与周边土地的空间关系分成11种类型,并抽象成3个基本模式(放射状、环状、放射+环状)。同时,构建由3大支撑系统的30项指标组成的聚落人居评价指标体系,对11种类型聚落中的典型案例进行人居环境质量评价。结果表明:环状模式聚落的人居环境质量最高,其中又以单环状聚落最优;复杂半放射+半环状聚落次之;放射状聚落相对最差,其中又以居民点与沙地直接接触的有耕地放射状最差。最后,分析了各等级聚落的优势与不足,并结合沙区实际情况提出复杂半放射+半环状聚落中有耕地半放射+半环状的聚落为沙区聚落相对适宜人居的聚落类型。     

基于环境示踪剂氯的北山地区浅部地下水补给研究

地下水补给研究是高放废物深地质处置库选址和场址评价的重要研究内容之一。甘肃北山地区是我国高放废物地质处置库场址首选预选区,为查明该区地下水补给特征,基于环境示踪剂氯查明了北山地区浅部地下水补给量。结果表明:(1)总体而言,氯质量平衡方法在北山地区应用效果较好。(2)基于包气带的氯质量平衡方法计算得出的浅部地下水垂向补给量在渗透性较大的沟谷盆地中为0.07～2.03 mm·a^-1,平均值约1.0 mm·a^-1。(3)基于饱和带的氯质量平衡方法计算得出北山地区浅部地下水多年平均入渗补给量为0.25 mm·a^-1,不足多年平均降水量的0.5%。相关结果可为我国高放废物地质处置库选址和场址评价提供依据。     

Soil-water behaviour of sandy soils under semi-arid conditions in the Duero Basin (Spain)

This paper examines the soil-water behaviour of sandy soils representative of a broad area in the Duero river basin (Spain), with semi-arid bioclimatic characteristics. Soil-moisture measurements of the first 25 cm of soil profile were taken using time domain reflectometry (TDR) methodology. The infiltration process was studied by means of field experiments combining rainfall simulations and TDR techniques. Finally, a set of hydrodynamic variables was calculated in the laboratory (i.e. available soil-water content, soil-water-retention curves and hydraulic conductivity).The average available soil-water content is 0·07 cm³ cm⁻³, in accordance with the predominance of the sandy textural fraction (85%). The rainfall simulation experiments show that infiltration prevails over overland flow, with a steady-state infiltration rate higher than rainfall application (40mmh⁻¹) in most cases; a low water-retention capacity was also observed. The evolution of soil-moisture over time indicates a close dependence on intra-annual rainfall variability due to the low water-retention capacity of sandy soils. With a maximum water-storage capacity of around 0·18 cm³ cm⁻³, the soils studied show high sensitivity to dry spells and may remain with <50% of the available soil-water content for several months during the year.     

Characterization of groundwater in the Ejina Basin, northwest China: hydrochemical and environmental isotopes approaches

To characterize the groundwater in the Ejina Basin,surface and groundwater samples were collected in May and October of 2002.On-site analyses included temperature,electrical conductance(EC),total alkalinity(as HCO 3) by titration,and pH.Chemical analyses were undertaken at the Geochemistry Laboratory of the Cold and Arid Region Environmental and Engineering Institute,Chinese Academy of Sciences,Lanzhou,China.The pH of the groundwater ranged from 7.18 to 8.90 with an average value of 7.72,indicating an alkaline nature.The total dissolved solids(TDS) of the groundwater ranged from 567.5 to 5,954.4 mg/L with an average of 1,543.1 mg/L and a standard deviation of 1,471.8 mg/L.According to the groundwater salinity classification of Robinove et al.(1958),47.4 percent of the samples were brackish and the remainder were fresh water.The ion concentration of the groundwater along the riverbed and near the southern margin of the basin were lower than those farther away from the riverbed.The groundwater in the study area was of Na +-HCO 3 type near the bank of the Heihe River and in the southern margin of the basin,while Na +-SO 4 2-Cl type samples were observed in the terminal lake region.In the desert area the groundwater reached a TDS of 3,000-6,000 mg/L and was predominantly by a Na +-Cl chemistry.Br/Cl for the water of Ejina Basin indicates an evaporite origin for the groundwater with a strongly depleted Br/Cl ratio(average 0.000484).The surface water was slightly enriched in Br/Cl(average 0.000711) compared with groundwater.The calculated saturation index(SI) for calcite and dolomite of the groundwater samples range from 0.89 to 1.31 and 1.67 to 2.67 with averaged 0.24 and 0.61,respectively.About 97 percent of the groundwater samples were kinetically oversaturated with respect to calcite and dolomite,and all the samples were below the equilibrium state with gypsum.Using isotope and hydrochemical analyses,this study investigated the groundwater evolution and its residence time.The groundwater content was mainly determi

Maintaining environmental quality in Chinese rural areas: the case of Sanshui County

This paper deals with the tension between national environmental objectives and rapid industrial growth in a Chinese provincial area. The case study relates to Sanshui County in Guangdong Province, where the authors worked for six months. The paper initially looks at the nature of Chinese national environmental objectives. It considers the legislation and administrative machinery in place to enforce such legislation and how effective this machinery is at the county level. It then argues that in Sanshui County, a rich and densely populated part of the Pearl River delta, there is a critical need for effective planning and strict control on industrial development, lest the overall continuing viability of the region is threatened. It concludes that, at present, there is both a lack of political will and environmental expertise at the county level to ensure protection of the environment.     

武陵源水体环境质量现状分析及评价

武陵源自1992年被列为世界自然遗产以来,由于重开发、轻保护,其水体环境受到了明显影响,水体质量基本上呈现逐年下降的趋势。本文选取对水体环境质量影响较大的BOD5、COD、TN、TP、As、MnO4-作为评价因子,对武陵源主要水系金鞭溪和索溪沿途4个主要断面进行监测,并利用模糊综合评价法,进一步研究武陵源水体污染程度,探讨武陵源水体环境变化规律。评价结果显示:水绕四门、吴家峪口、紫草潭断面的水体质量级别为II级,老磨湾断面的水体质量级别为III级,评价结果与实际监测数据基本一致。在此基础上,有针对性地提出了水体环境质量改善措施,为提高世界自然遗产地武陵源水体环境质量提供科学依据。     

IPCCSRES情景下新疆未来气候变化格局分析

全球气候模型（GCM）提供了有效的方法来评估全球气候变化的过程,并可预估包括人类活动因素驱动在内的未来气候变化情景。然而其较低的分辨率并不能捕捉到那些地表特性复杂区域的气候变化特性。因此,使用包括区域气候模型（RcM）、偏差校正法和统计方法等方法在内的降尺度方法来处理GCM的原始数据以达到评估区域的气候变化的目的。本研究应用使用偏差校正法中的delta方法将24个GCM在IPCC三种气候变化情景下的月尺度数据水平分辨率降尺度到0．5℃,进而用于分析新疆未来气候变化格局。基于降尺度后的计算结果与GCM模型原始数据比较表明：降尺度方法可以改善复杂地表和地形的区域气候变化预估特征,并降低GCM生成的气候数据在新疆地区的不确定性。结果表明：AIB、A2和B1三种情景模式下年均气温和年降水量在21世纪早期具有相似的空间格局与变化趋势,到21世纪中期会产生波动变化。年平均气温在A1B,A2和B1三种情景下到21世纪末将分别达到10℃,11．1℃和8．5℃;与此同时,年降水量将会有波动性的增加趋势。在2020—2070年间,AIB情景下区域年平均气温大于其他两个情景。A1B情景下的年降水量在2020-2040年间也大于其他两个情景。然而,在不同的情境下年平均气温与年降水存在很大的不确定性。不同情景下年平均气温的差异达6℃,而年平均降水差异大约200mm。在区域气候变化格局方面,到21世纪末,在天山中部、伊犁河流域、天山南部和塔里木河下游的年平均气温的增长要比准噶尔盆地、帕米尔高原和昆仑上北坡的小。年降水量在南疆西部呈现出轻微的下降趋势,但是在昌吉,吐鲁番,哈密和阿尔金山北部呈现出增长趋势。     

Assessment on environmental quality of heavy metals in agricultural soils of Chongming Island, Shanghai City

The environmental quality of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, As, Hg) in agricultural surface soil of Chongming Island was assessed by national, local and professional standards based on a large scale investigation, in which 28 samples from vegetable plots, 65 samples from paddy fields and 9 samples from watermelon fields were collected from whole island area. Results showed that the average concentration of Pb, Cd, Cr, As and Hg was 21.6 mg·kg-1 , 0.176 mg·kg-1, 69.4 mg·kg-1, 9.209 mg·kg-1 and 0.128 mg·kg-1, respectively. Compared with the background value of Shanghai City soil, except for Pb and Cr, all the other heavy metals average concentrations in Chongming Island agricultural surface soil exceeded their corresponding natural-background values. The concentrations of Cd, As and Hg were 33.0%, 1.2% and 26.3% higher than the background value of Shanghai City, respectively. In addition, inverse distance interpolation (IDW) tool of GIS was also applied to study the spatial variation of heavy metals. The results indicated that most of agricultural soil quality was good, and the ratio of ecological, good soil, certified soil and disqualified soil were 1.26%, 97.1%, 1.47% and 0.12%, respectively. About 10.1%, 85.7%, 27.0%, 55.4% and 55.2% soil samples exceeded the Pb, Cd, Cr, As and Hg background value of Shanghai City, respectively. Among these three land use type soils, vegetable soil was most seriously polluted by heavy metals, which is probably related to the over-application of pesticides. The annual deposition fluxes of Pb, Cd, As and Hg were 7736 μg·m-2·a-1, 208 μg·m-2·a-1, 2238 μg·m-2·a-1 and 52.8 μg·m-2·a-1, respectively. Crop straw burning was the important source of heavy metals of atmospheric deposition, and atmospheric deposition contributed a lot to heavy metals in agricultural soil in Chongming Island.

干旱区梨园不同覆盖条件下土壤环境因子综合性评价研究

在干旱沿黄灌区开展不同覆盖材料配合滴灌的灌溉保墒方式下,进一步研究了不同覆盖方式对梨园全生育期的土壤理化性状和养分含量变化影响,分析了土壤温度、水分、pH等和矿质营养元素间的相互关系,对覆盖后的土壤质量进行了综合性评价。试验处理分为无覆盖对照（T1）、园艺地布覆盖（T2）、玉米秸秆覆盖（T3）和黑地膜覆盖（T4）4个处理;试验设计为随机区组设计,每个处理小区均为167株梨树（约占地667 m²）,重复3次;各小区土样分0~20 cm、20~40 cm、40~60 cm土层取样。结果表明：（1） 园艺地布和黑地膜覆盖处理有一定的增温效应,而玉米秸秆覆盖有较好的降温和稳温效应,且增墒效应明显,土壤含水率比其他3种处理显著提高了1.0%~2.7%。（2） 相较无覆盖处理,黑地膜覆盖可提升表层土壤pH,并加速表层土壤有机质的分解,有机质含量较无覆盖处理下降33.1%;玉米秸秆覆盖可显著降低各土层的土壤pH,降低范围为1.8%~4.6%,并促进0~20 cm土层有机质的提升,土壤有机质含量增加12.2%;园艺地布覆盖下0~40 cm土层内土壤有机质含量和全盐量均有降低。（3） 黑地膜覆盖下0~20 cm和20~40 cm土层的碱解氮含量分别为73.00 mg·g^-1和64.53 mg·g^-1,均显著地高于无覆盖处理,无覆盖条件下土壤碱解氮在深层（40~60 cm土层）积累较多,显著地高于玉米秸秆和黑地膜覆盖;各处理0~20 cm和20~40 cm土层速效磷含量差异显著,大小顺序均为T4>T3>T2>T1,玉米秸秆覆盖可提升土壤速效钾和速效铁的含量。（4） 进行主成分分析表明不同覆盖方式对梨园浅层土壤环境因子的影响要明显大于深层土壤,在0~40 cm土层内各覆盖处理效果均好于无覆盖处理,其中玉米秸秆覆盖在0~20 cm和20~40 cm土层综合得分分别为1.189和0.326,覆盖效果最佳。     

不同环境背景下的艾比湖区域土壤水盐差异性特征研究

由于不同的环境背景下环境机制不同,所以导致了水盐（主要指水分、盐分）空间变异存在很大差异,在此背景下分析艾比湖地区含水量与含盐量空间变异,有助于更加合理的了解土壤含水量与含盐量一体化规律。以艾比湖为中心把艾比湖区域分为三个靶区：绿洲、荒漠、湖区,运用统计学方法,分析三个区域的土壤水分、盐分差异性特征。结果表明：绿洲、荒漠、湖区这三个区域表层土壤盐分积聚严重,其含盐量大小依次为：荒漠→绿洲→湖区,而含水量却相反;绿洲、荒漠和湖区土壤含盐量的变异系数均在85%～150%之间,属高强度变异,含水量变异系数均介于55%～75%之间,属中强度变异。说明荒漠区域盐分含量的水平分布不均匀,空间异质性较强;而水分含量的水平相对较为均匀,空间异质性较弱。绿洲、荒漠、湖区土壤层10～20 cm与20～40 cm土壤层含盐量的存在显著性相关性（p<0.01）,即绿洲的相关系数0.913,荒漠的相关系数0.966,湖区的相关系数0.941,绿洲与湖区土壤表层与亚层含水量存在显著性相关性（p<0.01）相关系数分别为0.851 和0.908。说明绿洲与湖区土壤层0～10 cm与10～20 cm土壤含水量存在水分转移现象,荒漠区域这种现象不明显,可能与沙漠炎热地表环境和土壤性质等因素有关。研究结果揭示了艾比湖地区不同环境背景下秋季的土壤含水量与含盐量分布特征,为艾比湖地区农作物灌溉管理及土壤盐渍化治理提供了科学依据。     

广州市土地覆被格局异质性的尺度与等级特征

基于SPOT遥感数据源形成广州市土地覆被类型图,在中心城区选取互相垂直的南北和东西两条样带,用Fortran编程计算各样带在125m、250m、500m和1000m 4个幅度下的景观多样性指数,以及Moran I、Geary C系数和半变异函数。再将样带分别自北向南和自西向东等间距划分,形成一系列面积相等的区域,计算各区域以及样带整体上的多样性指数的尺度方差。结果表明,土地覆被景观多样性在不同的研究幅度下都存在正的空间自相关性,并具有方向性。尺度方差结果显示,尺度方差与尺度和幅度都有关,随着研究尺度增大,尺度方差都呈下降之势,而随幅度增大,尺度方差并非单调变化。如125m和250m两种幅度时,方差随着尺度增大而减少。尺度方差结果进一步揭示研究样带上土地覆被存在多尺度等级结构,并且具有方向性特点,同时也反映尺度方差不失为景观异质性研究的一种有效方法。
