In agricultural areas, fertilizer application is the main source of nitrate contamination of groundwater. To develop fertilizer
management strategies to combat this problem, arable land in Hokkaido, Japan was evaluated using geographic information system
techniques for intrinsic groundwater vulnerability to nitrate contamination. The DRASTIC method was modified to adapt it to
the Hokkaido environment and used for the evaluation. Of the seven original DRASTIC factors, the depth to water (D), net recharge
(R), soil media (S), topography (T), and impact of vadose zone media (I) were selected and used to explain the vertical movement
of contaminants to the aquifer. The rating for the net recharge factor was also modified to a dilution factor for contaminants,
rather than as a transporter. The frequency of wells with nitrate concentrations exceeding the Japanese environmental standard
(10 mg/L) was reasonably explained by vulnerability evaluation results (GLM: logit-link, quasi-binomial distribution, Y = [1 + exp(6.873765 − 0.045988 × X)]−1, p < 0.001). However, in the paddy fields and pastures, vulnerability did not exhibit a clear relationship with the frequency
of wells exceeding the standard. This suggests that the modified DRASTIC method is applicable for fertilizer application management
in upland fields. In addition, under the ongoing policy for acreage allotment for rice production, this method will be useful
for deciding the arrangement of arable land and crop rotation taking into consideration the potential risk of fertilizer-induced
nitrate contamination of groundwater. 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

One of the major causes of groundwater pollution in Hamadan–Bahar aquifer in western Iran is a non-point source pollution
resulting from agricultural activities. Withdrawal of over 88% of drinking water from groundwater resources, adds urgency
to the studies leading to a better management of water supplies in this region. In this study, the DRASTIC model was used
to construct groundwater vulnerability maps based on the “intrinsic” (natural conditions) and “specific” (including management)
concepts. As DRASTIC has drawbacks to simulate specific contaminants, we conditioned the rates on measured nitrate data and
optimized the weights of the specific model to obtain a nitrate vulnerability map for the region. The performance of the conditioned
DRASTIC model improved significantly (R
2 = 0.52) over the intrinsic (R
2 = 0.12) and specific (R
2 = 0.19) models in predicting the groundwater nitrate concentration. Our study suggests that a locally conditioned DRASTIC
model is an effective tool for predicting the region’s vulnerability to nitrate pollution. In addition, comparison of groundwater
tables between two periods 30 years apart indicated a drawdown of around 50 m in the central plain of the Hamadan–Bahar region.
Our interpretation of the vulnerability maps for the two periods showed a polluted zone developing in the central valley requiring
careful evaluation and monitoring. 相似文献

Detailed hydrogeochemical and isotopic data of groundwaters from the Hammamet–Nabeul unconfined aquifer are used to provide
a better understanding of the natural and anthropogenic processes that control the groundwater mineralization as well as the
sources of different groundwater bodies. It has been demonstrated that groundwaters, which show Na–Cl and Ca–SO4–Cl water facies, are mainly influenced by the dissolution of evaporates, the dedolomitization and the cation-exchange process;
and supplementary by anthropogenic process in relation with return flow of irrigation waters. The isotopic signatures permit
to classify the studied groundwaters into two different groups. Non-evaporated groundwaters that are characterized by depleted
δ
18O and δ
2H contents highlighting the importance of modern recharge at higher altitude. Evaporated groundwaters with enriched contents
reflecting the significance infiltration of return flow irrigation waters. Tritium data in the studied groundwaters lend support
to the existence of pre-1950 and post-1960 recharge. Carbon-14 activities in shallow wells that provide evidence to the large
contamination by organic 14C corroborate the recent origin of the groundwaters in the study area. 相似文献

Groundwater contaminated with arsenic (As), when extensively used for irrigation, causes potentially long-term detrimental
effects to surface soils. Such contamination can also directly affect human health when irrigated crops, such as rice, vegetable
and fruits, are used for human consumption. Therefore, an understanding of the leaching behavior of As in surface soils is
of high importance, because such behavior may increase the bioavailability of As in the soil horizon. In this study, we have
investigated the role of phosphate ions in leaching and bioavailability of As in the soil horizon, where drinking groundwater
contains elevated levels of As (≥50 μg/L). Soil and groundwater samples were characterized in the laboratory and measured
for physical and chemical constituents. The soils are generally neutral to slightly alkaline in character (pH range 7.5–8.1)
with low to moderate levels of free Fe2O3, Al2O3, CaCO3, organic carbon, and clay content. The measured electrical conductivity (mean 599 μS/cm) of the soils demonstrates their
non-saline nature. The Eh values (range −37 to −151 mV) of the groundwater indicate anoxic condition with low to moderate
levels of bicarbonate (range 100–630 mg/L) and phosphate (range 0.002–4.0 mg/L). The arsenic content (range 50–690 μg/L; mean
321 μg/L) in groundwater has exceeded both WHO recommended guideline values (10 μg/L) and the National safe drinking water
limit (50 μg/L). Regression analyses demonstrate that the bioavailability of As in the soil horizon is mainly controlled by
the composition of free Fe2O3 and CaCO3 content of the soils. However, application of P could increase bioavailability of As in the soil horizon and become available
to plants for uptake. 相似文献

Two boreholes and ten piezometers in the Ganges flood plain were drilled and installed for collecting As-rich sediments and
groundwater. Groundwater samples from the Ganges flood plain were collected for the analysis of cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+), anions (Cl−, NO3
−, SO4
2−), total organic carbon (TOC), and trace elements (As, Mn, Fe, Sr, Se, Ni, Co, Cu, Mo, Sb, Pb). X-ray powder diffraction was
performed to characterize the major mineral contents of aquifer sediments and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to analyze the major
chemical composition of alluvial sediments. Results of XRF analysis clearly show that fine-grained sediments contain higher
amounts of trace element because of their high surface area for adsorption. Relative fluorescence index (15–38 QSU) of humic
substance in groundwater was measured using spectrofluorometer, the results revealed that groundwater in the Ganges flood
plain contains less organic matter (OM). Arsenic concentration in water ranges from 2.8 to 170 μg/L (mean 50 μg/L) in the
Ganges flood plain. Arsenic content in sediments ranges from 2.1 to 14 mg/kg (mean 4.58 mg/kg) in the flood plains. TOC ranges
from 0.49 to 3.53 g/kg (mean 1.64 g/kg) in the Ganges flood plain. Arsenic is positively correlated with TOC (R
2 = 0.55) in sediments of this plain. Humic substances were extracted from the sediments from the Ganges flood plain. Fourier
transform infrared analysis of the sediments revealed that the plain contains less humic substances. The source of organic
carbon was assigned from δ13C values obtained using elemental analysis-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA-IRMS); the values (−10 to −29.44‰) strongly
support the hypothesis that the OM of the Ganges flood plain is of terrestrial origin. 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.

Hydrochemistry of urban groundwater in Seoul, South Korea: effects of land-use and pollutant recharge 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Byoung-Young Choi Seong-Taek Yun Soon-Young Yu Pyeong-Koo Lee Seong-Sook Park Gi-Tak Chae Bernhard Mayer 《Environmental Geology》2005,48(8):979-990
The ionic and isotopic compositions (δD, δ18O, and 3H) of urban groundwaters have been monitored in Seoul to examine the water quality in relation to land-use. High tritium contents
(6.1–12.0 TU) and the absence of spatial/seasonal change of O–H isotope data indicate that groundwaters are well mixed within
aquifers with recently recharged waters of high contamination susceptibility. Statistical analyses show a spatial variation
of major ions in relation to land-use type. The major ion concentrations tend to increase with anthropogenic contamination,
due to the local pollutants recharge. The TDS concentration appears to be a useful contamination indicator, as it generally
increases by the order of forested green zone (average 151 mg/l), agricultural area, residential area, traffic area, and industrialized
area (average 585 mg/l). With the increased anthropogenic contamination, the groundwater chemistry changes from a Ca–HCO3 type toward a Ca–Cl(+NO3) type. The source and behavior of major ions are discussed and the hydrochemical backgrounds are proposed as the basis of
a groundwater management plan. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

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

Environmental geochemistry of high arsenic groundwater at Hetao plain was studied on the basis of geochemical survey of the
groundwater and a core sediment. Arsenic concentration in groundwater samples varies from 76 to 1093 μg/L. The high arsenic
groundwater mostly appears to be weakly alkaline. The concentrations of NO3− and SO42− are relatively low, while the concentrations of DOC, NH4+, dissolved Fe and sulfide are relatively great. Analysis of arsenic speciation in 21 samples shows that arsenic is present
in the solution predominantly as As(III), while particulate arsenic constitutes about 10% of the total arsenic. Methane is
detected in five samples with the greatest content being 5107 μg/L. The shallow aquifer in Hangjinhouqi of western Hetao plain
is of strongly reducing condition. The arsenic content in 23 core sediment samples varies from 7.7 to 34.6 mg/kg, with great
value in clay and mild clay layer. The obvious positive relationship in content between Fe2O3, Mn, Sb, B, V and As indicates that the distribution of arsenic in the sediments may be related to Fe and Mn oxides, and
the mobilization of Sb, B and V may be affected by similar geochemical processes as that of As. 相似文献

A holistic study of the composition of the basalt groundwaters of the Atherton Tablelands region in Queensland, Australia
was undertaken to elucidate possible mechanisms for the evolution of these very low salinity, silica- and bicarbonate-rich
groundwaters. It is proposed that aluminosilicate mineral weathering is the major contributing process to the overall composition
of the basalt groundwaters. The groundwaters approach equilibrium with respect to the primary minerals with increasing pH
and are mostly in equilibrium with the major secondary minerals (kaolinite and smectite), and other secondary phases such
as goethite, hematite, and gibbsite, which are common accessory minerals in the Atherton basalts. The mineralogy of the basalt
rocks, which has been examined using X-ray diffraction and whole rock geochemistry methods, supports the proposed model for
the hydrogeochemical evolution of these groundwaters: precipitation + CO2 (atmospheric + soil) + pyroxene + feldspars + olivine yields H4SiO4, HCO3
−, Mg2+, Na+, Ca2+ + kaolinite and smectite clays + amorphous or crystalline silica + accessory minerals (hematite, goethite, gibbsite, carbonates,
zeolites, and pyrite). The variations in the mineralogical content of these basalts also provide insights into the controls
on groundwater storage and movement in this aquifer system. The fresh and weathered vesicular basalts are considered to be
important in terms of zones of groundwater occurrence, while the fractures in the massive basalt are important pathways for
groundwater movement. 相似文献

The occurrence of dental/skeletal fluorosis among the people in the study area provided the motivation to assess the distribution, severity and impact of fluoride contamination in groundwater of Bankura district at Simlapal block, West Bengal, India. To meet the desired objective, groundwater samples were collected from different locations of Laxmisagar, Machatora and Kusumkanali regions of Simlapal block at different depths of tube wells in both pre- and post-monsoon seasons. Geochemical results reveal that the groundwaters are mostly moderate- to hard-water type. Of total groundwater samples, 37% are situated mainly in relatively higher elevated region containing fluoride above 1.5 mg/L, indicating that host aquifers are severely affected by fluoride contamination. Machatora region is highly affected by fluoride contamination with maximum elevated concentration of 12.2 mg/L. Several symptoms of fluorosis among the different age-groups of people in Laxmisagar and Machatora areas are indicating consumption of fluoridated water for prolonged period. The groundwater samples were mainly Na–Ca–HCO3 type and rock dominance indicating the dissolution of minerals taking place. Ion exchange between OH? ion and F? ion present in fluoride-bearing mineral is the most dominant mechanism of fluoride leaching. High concentration of Na+ and HCO3 ? increases the alkalinity of the water, providing a favorable condition for fluoride to leach into groundwater from its host rocks and minerals. 相似文献

Groundwater nitrate contamination and risk assessment in an agricultural area,South Korea 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

The nitrate of groundwater in the Gimpo agricultural area, South Korea, was characterized by means of nitrate concentration,
nitrogen-isotope analysis, and the risk assessment of nitrogen. The groundwaters belonging to Ca–(Cl + NO3) and Na–(Cl + NO3) types displayed a higher average NO3
− concentration (79.4 mg/L), exceeding the Korean drinking water standard (<44.3 mg/L NO3
−). The relationship between δ18O–NO3
− values and δ15N–NO3
− values revealed that nearly all groundwater samples with δ15N–NO3
− of +7.57 to +13.5‰ were affected by nitrate from manure/sewage as well as microbial nitrification and negligible denitrification.
The risk assessment of nitrate for groundwater in the study area was carried out using the risk-based corrective action model
since it was recognized that there is a necessity of a quantitative assessment of health hazard, as well as a simple estimation
of nitrate concentration. All the groundwaters of higher nitrate concentration than the Korean drinking water standard (<44.3 mg/L NO3
−) belonged to the domain of the hazard index <1, indicating no health hazard by nitrate in groundwater in the study area.
Further, the human exposure to the nitrate-contaminated soil was below the critical limit of non-carcinogenic risk. 相似文献

Evaluation of aquifers vulnerability to contamination in the Yarmouk River basin, Jordan, based on DRASTIC method 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The existing different human activities and planned land uses put the groundwater resources in Jordan at considerable risk. There are evidences suggesting that the quality of groundwater supplies in north Jordan is under threat from a wide variety of point and non-point sources including agricultural, domestic, and industrial. Vulnerability maps are designed to show areas of greatest potential for groundwater contamination on the basis of hydrogeological conditions and human impacts. DRASTIC method incorporates the major geological and hydrogeological factors that affect and control groundwater movement: depth to groundwater (D), net recharge (R), lithology of the aquifer (A), soil texture (S), topography (T), lithology of vadose zone (I), and hydraulic conductivity (C). The main goal of this study is to produce vulnerability maps of groundwater resources in the Yarmouk River basin by applying the DRASTIC method to determine areas where groundwater protection or monitoring is critical. ArcGIS 9.2 was used to create the groundwater vulnerability maps by overlaying the available hydrogeological data. The resulting vulnerability maps were then integrated with lineament and land use maps as additional parameters in the DRASTIC model to assess more accurately the potential risk of groundwater to pollution. The general DRASTIC index indicates that the potential for polluting groundwater is low in the whole basin, whereas the resulting pesticide DRASTIC vulnerability map indicates that about 31% of the basin is classified as having moderate vulnerability, which may be attributed to agricultural activities in the area. Although high nitrate concentrations were found in areas of moderate vulnerability, DRASTIC method did not depict accurately the nitrate distribution in the area. 相似文献

The groundwaters from Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province of central China, have high fluoride concentration up to 3.67 mg/L,
and cases of dental fluorosis have been found in this region. To delineate the nature and extent of high fluoride groundwaters
and to assess the major geochemical factors controlling the fluoride enrichment in groundwater, 14 groundwater samples and
5 Quaternary sediment samples were collected and their chemistry were determined in this study. Some water samples from fissured
hard rock aquifers and Quaternary aquifers have high fluoride concentrations, whereas all karst water samples contain fluoride
less than 1.5 mg/L due to their high Ca/Na ratios. For the high fluoride groundwaters in the fissured hard rocks, high HCO3
− concentration and alkaline condition favor dissolution of fluorite and anion exchange between OH− in groundwater and exchangeable F− in some fluoride-bearing minerals. For fluoride enrichment in groundwaters of Quaternary aquifers, high contents of fluoride
in the aquifer sediments and evapotranspiration are important controls. 相似文献

Systematic hydrogeochemical survey has been carried out for understanding the sources of dissolved ions in the groundwaters
of the area occupied by Sarada river basin, Visakhapatnam district, Andhra Pradesh, India. Khondalites, charnockites and granite
gneisses and calc-granulites of Precambrians and alluvial deposits of Quaternaries underlie the study area. Groundwaters are
both fresh and brackish; the latter waters being a dominant. Most groundwaters are characterized by Na+:HCO3− facies due to chemical weathering of the rocks. Enrichment of Na+, K+, Cl−, SO42−, NO3− and F− in some groundwater samples is caused by seawater intrusion, locally accompanied by ion-exchange, and anthropogenic activities,
resulting in an increase of brackish in the groundwaters. Based on the results of this hydrogeochemical study, suitable management
measures are recommended to solve the water quality problems. 相似文献

Groundwater sampling was accomplished in the basaltic sequence of the Rh?n mountain range, Germany, in order to investigate
hydrochemical groundwater evolution and to delineate mineral alteration reactions involved in natural weathering. The hydrochemical
compositions of near-surface groundwaters indicate a Ca/Mg–HCO3 type with near-neutral pH and evolve to a Na–HCO3 type with high pH at greater depth. Column experiments were performed with basaltic and phonolitic rock samples to determine
individual mineral alteration reactions. The basic reactions could be related to the alteration of olivine, Ca-pyroxene, plagioclase,
pyrrhotite, and feldspathoids under formation of secondary clay minerals (smectites, illite) and goethite. The mineral alteration
reactions deduced from the leaching experiments by inverse modelling were found to be consistent with the mineral reactions
associated with the natural groundwaters. The reactions calculated for groundwater evolution involve the alteration of primary
and secondary minerals to produce low-T mineral phase. The conversion of secondary Na-beidellite to illite occurs at a later
stage of groundwater evolution, reducing the concentrations of K+ and Mg2+. Near-surface groundwaters do not indicate significant cation exchange. Initial cation exchange requires elevated pH values,
with Mg2+ removed from solution preferred to Ca2+. Na-alkalisation of the groundwaters at greater depth suggests the exchange of Na+ for Mg2+ and Ca2+ on Na-beidellite, supported by cation exchange on coatings of iron hydroxides as alteration products. Among the mature high-pH
groundwater at greater depth, the dissolution of anorthite and albite has significant effect on groundwater composition. 相似文献
