Chemical characteristics of groundwater in parts of mountainous region, Alvand, Hamadan, Iran 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Mohsen Jalali 《Environmental Geology》2006,51(3):433-446
Eighty-seven groundwater samples have been collected from a mountainous region (Alvand, Iran) for hydrochemical investigations to understand the sources of dissolved ions and assess the chemical quality of the groundwater. Most water quality parameters are within World Health Organization acceptable limits set for drinking water. The least mineralized water is found closest to the main recharge zones and the salinity of water increased towards the north of the basin. The most prevalent water type is Ca–HCO3 followed by water types Ca–NO3, Ca–Cl, Ca–SO4 and Mg–HCO3. The Ca–NO3 water type is associated with high nitrate pollution. Agricultural and industrial activities were associated with elevated level of NO3−. Mineral dissolution/weathering of evaporites dominates the major element hydrochemistry of the area. Chemical properties of groundwater in Alvand region are controlled both by natural geochemical processes and anthropogenic activities. 相似文献

Nitrate (NO3
−) is major pollutant in groundwater worldwide. Karst aquifers are particularly vulnerable to nitrate contamination from anthropogenic
sources due to the rapid movement of water in their conduit networks. In this study, the isotopic compositions (δ15N–NO3
−, δ15N–NH4
+) and chemical compositions(e.g., NO3
−, NH4
+, NO2
−, K+) were measured in groundwater in the Zunyi area of Southwest China during summer and winter to identify the primary sources
of contamination and characterize the processes affecting nitrate in the groundwater. It was found that nitrate was the dominant
species of nitrogen in most of the water samples. In addition, the δ15N–NO3
− values of water samples collected in summer were lower than those collected in winter, suggesting that the groundwater received
a significant contribution of NO3
− from agricultural fertilizer during the summer. Furthermore, the spatial variation in the concentration of nitrate and the
δ15N–NO3
− value indicated that some of the urban groundwater was contaminated with pollution from point sources. In addition, the distribution
of δ15N–NO3
− values and the relationship between ions in the groundwater indicated that synthetic and organic fertilizers (cattle manure)
were the two primary sources of nitrate in the study area, except in a few cases where the water had been contaminated by
urban anthropogenic inputs. Finally, the temporal and spatial variation of the water chemistry and isotopic data indicated
that denitrification has no significant effect on the nitrogen isotopic values in Zunyi groundwater. 相似文献

Influences of human activities and agriculture on groundwater quality of Kayseri-Incesu-Dokuzpınar springs,central Anatolian part of Turkey 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Human activities and agriculture have had direct and indirect effects on the rates of contamination of groundwater in the Incesu-Dokuzp inar spring area. Direct effects include dissolution and transport of excess quantities of fertilizers with associated materials and hydrological alterations related to irrigation and drainage. Indirect effects may include changes in water–rock reactions in soils and aquifers caused by increased concentrations of dissolved oxidants, protons, and major ions. Agricultural activities have directly or indirectly affected the concentrations of a large number of inorganic chemicals in groundwater, for example NO 3, N 2, Cl, SO 4 2, H +, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu, B, Pb, and Zn, as well as a wide variety of pesticides and other organic compounds. For reactive contaminants like NO 3, it is recommended that a combination of hydrochemical and environmental-tracer analytical approaches might be required to resolve changing inputs from subsequent alterations as causes of concentration gradients in groundwater. The water type of Dokuzp inar springs is mainly Na–Mg–Ca–Cl–HCO 3. Note that the water types of the springs were directly related to the hydrogeochemical properties of outcrops at the study area. Thus, the high concentration of Ca 2+ and HCO 3 is mainly related to the high CO 2 contents in the marbles, whereas the high Na concentration arises from the existing syenite, volcanic ash, basalt, and clay units, although the Incesu-Dokuzp inar springs cover most of the drinking and irrigation water demands of this area. The high concentrations of NO 3 and NaCl show that the area around the springs is continuously being contaminated by untreated sewage and agricultural wastes, especially during dry periods. Therefore, this approach is based on the vulnerability studies of the catchment area, determination of the transfer time of the pollutant, and the water-bearing formations of Incesu-Dokuzp inar springs. Vulnerability in this study is defined as the intrinsic hydrogeochemical characteristics of an aquifer, which may show the sensitivity of groundwater to be contaminated by different human activities. 相似文献

The degradation of groundwater quality, which has been noted in the recent years, is closely connected to the intensification
of agriculture, the unreasonable use of chemical fertilizers and the excess consumption of large volumes of irrigation water.
In the hilly region of central Thessaly in Greece, which suffers the consequences of intense agricultural use, a hydrogeological
study is carried out, taking groundwater samples from springs and boreholes in the Neogene aquifers. The aim of this study
is the investigation of irrigation management, water quality and suitability for various uses (water supply, irrigation),
the degradation degree and the spatial distribution of pollutants using GIS. The following hydrochemical types prevail in
the groundwater of the study area: Ca–Mg–HCO3, Mg–Ca–Na–HCO3 and Na–HCO3. In the above shallow aquifers, especially high values of NO3
− (31.7–299.0), NH4
+ (0.12–1.11), NO2
− (0.018–0.109), PO4
3− (0.07–0.55), SO4
2− (47.5–146.5) and Cl− (24.8–146.5) are found, particularly near inhabited areas (values are in mg L−1). The water of shallow aquifers is considered unsuitable for human use due to their high polluting load, while the water
of the deeper aquifers is suitable for human consumption. Regarding water suitability for irrigation, the evaluation of SAR
(0.153–7.397) and EC (481–1,680 μS cm−1) resulted in classification category ‘C3S1’, indicating high salinity and low sodium water which can be used for irrigation
in most soils and crops with little to medium danger of development of exchangeable sodium and salinity. The statistical data
analysis, the factor analysis and the GIS application have brought out the vulnerable-problematic zones in chemical compounds
of nitrogen and phosphates. The groundwater quality degradation is localized and related exclusively to human activities.
Based on 2005 and 2008 estimates, the annual safe yield of the region’s aquifers were nearly 41.95 MCM. However, the existing
situation is that 6.37 MCM of water is over extracted from these aquifers. 相似文献

Hydrogeochemical investigations and groundwater provinces of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Plain aquifers,northeastern Italy 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Water resources are a key factor, particularly for the planning of the sustainable regional development of agriculture, as
well as for socio-economic development in general. A hydrochemical investigation was conducted in the Friuli Venezia Giulia
aquifer systems to identify groundwater evolution, recharge and extent of pollution. Temperature, pH, electric conductivity,

, water quality and type, saturation indexes and the environmental stable isotope δ18O were determined in 149 sampling stations. The pattern of geochemical and oxygen stable isotope variations suggests that
the sub-surface groundwater (from phreatic and shallow confined aquifers) is being recharged by modern precipitations and
local river infiltrations. Four hydrogeological provinces have been recognised and mapped in the Friuli Venezia Giulia Plain
having similar geochemical signatures. These provinces have different degrees of vulnerability to contamination. The deep
confined groundwater samples are significantly less impacted by surface activities; and it appears that these important water
resources have very low recharge rates and would, therefore, be severely impacted by overabstraction. 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

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

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

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

Water wells were sampled near North Madison, Ohio, following a gas well blow out that injected large amounts of CH4 into near-surface groundwater Chemical analyses showed elevated levels of Fe+2, Mn+2, Ca+2, sulfide, alkalinity, and pH, and low levels of dissolved oxygen, SO4
−2, and NO3
− in CH4-affected wells compared to unaffected wells. Sulfate reduction is quantitatively the most important vehicle for CH4 oxidation Equilibrium thermodynamic computer models were used to simulate groundwaters from the North Madison area Model
results showed that CH4 is oxidized to HCO3
−, SO4
−2 is reduced, iron and manganese oxides are reduced and dissolved, and pH increases These simulations are in excellent agreement
with trends observed in the field data A laboratory experiment was designed to simulate CH4
− perturbed groundwater in the methane-perturbed system, sulfide increased significantly, providing direct evidence for methane
oxidation by sulfate reduction
Although suitable anaerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria have not been isolated from groundwater aquifers, the combination of
field data, laboratory experiment, and computer simulation form a convincing argument that CH4 perturbation of aquifers can and does affect groundwater chemistry 相似文献

The Koyna River basin in India drew the attention of geoscientists after an earthquake (magnitude 7) in 1967. Since then,
detailed geological, tectonic, and seismic investigations of this river basin have been carried out by several workers. However,
very little study has been done on its hydrogeological framework. The present work aims at filling this gap. Basalts, laterites,
alluvium, soils, and talus deposits form shallow unconfined aquifers, with transmissivity of 27–135 m2/d and a regional specific yield of 0.012. In shallow basaltic aquifers, the lower part of the highly weathered and highly
jointed horizon above, and the poorly weathered and highly jointed horizon below, form the most potential zone for groundwater
occurrence. Well yields in the deeper basaltic aquifers are directly related to the occurrence of lineaments, whereas at a
shallower level they are related to geomorphic features. Spring discharges are highly dependent on their source aquifers and
areas of recharge. They have a mean winter discharge of 46 m3/d and a summer discharge of 28 m3/d.
Chemically, groundwaters are dominated by alkaline earths (Ca2+, Mg2+) and weak acids (HCO3
–, CO3
–); they are calcium-bicarbonate type (53%) and calcium-magnesium-bicarbonate type (27%) at shallower levels; and calcium-magnesium-bicarbonate
type (29%), sodium-bicarbonate type (24%), calcium-bicarbonate type (19%), and calcium-magnesium-sodium-bicarbonate type (19%)
in deeper aquifers. The Koyna River basin is characterized by both scarcity and abundance of groundwater. In the water-scarce
areas in the dissected plateaus, artificial recharge of aquifers through construction of several recharge structures at suitable
locations is highly recommended. In the water-abundant areas in the central valley, on the other hand, expanded consumptive
use of water resources is encouraged.

Hydro- and isotope geochemistry are used to refine groundwater conceptual models in two areas of central Italy (Acque Albule
Basin and Velino River Valley) affected by extensional Quaternary tectonics, where deep and shallow groundwater flow systems
are interacting. The role of geology, of recent deposits filling the plains and of main tectonic features controlling groundwater
flowpaths and deep-seated fluids emergences are investigated and discussed. Environmental isotopes (2H and 18O) confirm recharge in the surrounding carbonate aquifers, and meteoric origin of both shallow and deep groundwater. Major
ion chemistry indicates a mixing between shallow Ca-HCO3 groundwater from carbonate aquifers and deep Ca-HCO3-SO4 groundwater, characterised by higher salinity and temperature and high concentration in sulphates. Isotopic composition of
dissolved sulphates (δ
34S and δ
18O) and dissolved inorganic carbon (δ
13C), henceforth indicated as DIC, are used to verify the presence of different sources of groundwater, and to validate the
mixing model suggested by the major ion analyses. Sulphate isotope composition suggests a marine origin for the groundwater
characterised by elevated sulphate concentration, whose source is present in the deep buried sequences. Carbon isotope composition
confirms the role of a DIC source associated to CO2 degassing of a deep reservoir. Groundwater conceptual models are improved underlining the importance of Plio-Pleistocene
sequences filling the tectonic depression. In the Acque Albule area, the travertine plateau represents a mixing stratified
aquifer, where deep groundwater contribution is spread into the shallow aquifer. The alluvial–clastic–lacustrine leaky aquifer
of Velino Valley enables a complete mixing of shallow and deep groundwater allowing spot-located discharge of deep groundwater
along tectonic patterns and facilitating sulphate reduction in the lacustrine sediments, explaining locally the presence of
H2S. 相似文献

Impacts of agricultural irrigation recharge on groundwater quality in a basalt aquifer system (Washington, USA): a multi-tracer approach 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Irrigation in semi-arid agricultural regions can have profound effects on recharge rates and the quality of shallow groundwater. This study coupled stable isotopes (2??, 18O), age-tracers (3H, CFCs, 14C), 87Sr/86Sr ratios, and elemental chemistry to determine the sources, residence times, and flowpaths of groundwater and agricultural contaminants (e.g. NO 3 ?C ) in the Saddle Mountains Basalt Aquifer in central Washington, USA, where over 80% of the population depend on groundwater for domestic use. Results demonstrate the presence of two distinct types of water: contaminated irrigation water and pristine regional groundwater. Contaminated irrigation water has high NO 3 ?C concentrations (11?C116? mg/l), 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.70659?C0.71078) within range of nitrogen-based fertilizers, detectable tritium (2.8?C13.4 TU), CFC ages 20?C40?years, high ??18O values (?16.9 to ?13.5??), and ??100 percent modern 14C. Pristine regional groundwater has low NO 3 ?C concentrations (1?C5? mg/l), no detectable tritium (??0.8 TU), low ??18O values (?18.9 to ?17.3??) and 14C ages from ??15 to 33?ky BP. Nitrogen and oxygen isotopes of NO 3 ?C , combined with high dissolved oxygen values, show that denitrification is not an important process in the organic-poor basalt aquifers resulting in transport of high NO 3 ?C irrigation water to depths greater than 40?m in less than 30? years. 相似文献

Managed aquifer recharge is one of the most popular methods for dealing with local water shortage issues, and the bacterial community could be a vital factor influencing groundwater quality during this process. In this study, analysis of variations in groundwater components during artificial recharge revealed three stages at a text site in China. During stage I, total iron and dissolved organic carbon levels are stable basically, dissolved oxygen and SO4 2? levels have rising trends, NO3 ? curve varied not obviously. Variation curves show increases in dissolved oxygen, NO3 ?, SO4 2? and stabilization in dissolved organic carbon and total iron at stage II. During stage III, dissolved oxygen and NO3 ? have rising trends, dissolved organic carbon, total iron, and SO4 2? keep stable. At 25 and 70 days the Simpson and Shannon–Wiener indices show that microbial community richness and population diversity underwent a gradual dynamic change after recharge water arrived. Correlation analysis shows that the Simpson index was mainly affected by dissolved oxygen and NO3 ?. PCR-DGGE confirmed these findings. Overall, the results revealed that the main bacterial communities reduce total nitrogen, total phosphorous, and chemical oxygen demand, which corresponded to the calculated correlation index. 相似文献

Aquifer-based groundwater quality assessment offers critical insight into the major hydrochemical processes, and aids in making groundwater resources management decisions. The Texas Rolling Plains (TRP), spanning over 22 counties, is a major agro-ecological region in Texas from where highest groundwater nitrate (NO3 ?) levels in the state have been reported. In this study, we present a comparative assessment of major hydrochemical facies pertaining to NO3 ? contamination and a host of species such as sulfate (SO4 2?), chloride (Cl?), and total dissolved solids (TDS) in different water use classes in the Seymour and Blaine aquifers, underlying the TRP. Aquifer-stratified groundwater quality information from 1990 to 2010 was obtained from the Texas Water Development Board and aggregated over decadal scale. High groundwater salinization was found in the municipal water use class in the Blaine aquifer with about 100, 87 and 50 % of observations exceeding the secondary maximum contaminant level for TDS, SO4 2?, and Cl?, respectively in the 2000s (2000–2010). The NO3-contamination was more alarming in the Seymour aquifer with 82 and 61 % of observations, respectively, exceeding the maximum contaminant level (MCL) in the irrigation and municipal water use classes in the 2000s. Salinization was more influenced by SO4 2? and Cl? in the Blaine aquifer and by NO3 ? in the Seymour aquifer. High NO3 ? (>MCL) observations in the Seymour aquifer occurred in the Ca–HCO3 and Ca–Mg–HCO3 facies, the domains of fresh water recharge and anthropogenic influences (e.g., agricultural activities, waste disposal). High SO4 2?, Cl? and TDS observations in the Blaine aquifer dominated the Ca–Cl, Na–Cl, and mixed Ca(Mg)–SO4(Cl) facies indicating evaporite dissolution, mixing and solute exchange, and lack of fresh recharge. 相似文献

Total dissolved inorganic carbon (TDIC) and its stable isotope ratio δ13CTDIC are used to trace the evolution of the carbon system of groundwater in three UK Permo-Triassic sandstone aquifers. Samples
were collected from multilevel piezometers, open boreholes and sewer sampling points in the British Midlands (Nottingham,
Birmingham and Doncaster) to evaluate both local and regional variations in δ13CTDIC. δ13C samples of matrix and pore water have also been analysed in each aquifer to further constrain the interpretations. Combining
δ13CTDIC ratios with measurements of TDIC and pH clearly distinguishes the principal processes underlying the geochemical evolution
of groundwater in Triassic sandstone aquifers, where processes can be both natural (e.g. carbonate dissolution) and anthropogenic
(sewer-derived recharge). The paper shows that δ13CTDIC resolves ambiguities that arise from the interpretation of TDIC and pH measurements in isolation. Field measurements demonstrate
that, under natural conditions, the carbonate system evolves similarly in each aquifer. An open-system evolution during recharge
largely saturates the groundwater with carbonate depending upon its availability in the sandstone matrix. The contribution
of sewer exfiltration to urban recharge is readily distinguished by lower pH and higher TDIC values without significant changes
in δ13CTDIC. 相似文献

Dissolved major ions and important heavy metals including total arsenic and iron were measured in groundwater from shallow
(25–33 m) and deep (191–318 m) tube-wells in southeastern Bangladesh. These analyses are intended to help describe geochemical
processes active in the aquifers and the source and release mechanism of arsenic in sediments for the Meghna Floodplain aquifer.
The elevated Cl− and higher proportions of Na+ relative to Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+ in groundwater suggest the influence by a source of Na+ and Cl−. Use of chemical fertilizers may cause higher concentrations of NH4+ and PO43− in shallow well samples. In general, most ions are positively correlated with Cl−, with Na+ showing an especially strong correlation with Cl−, indicating that these ions are derived from the same source of saline waters. The relationship between Cl−/HCO3− ratios and Cl− also shows mixing of fresh groundwater and seawater. Concentrations of dissolved HCO3− reflect the degree of water–rock interaction in groundwater systems and integrated microbial degradation of organic matter.
Mn and Fe-oxyhydroxides are prominent in the clayey subsurface sediment and well known to be strong adsorbents of heavy metals
including arsenic. All five shallow well samples had high arsenic concentration that exceeded WHO recommended limit for drinking
water. Very low concentrations of SO42− and NO3− and high concentrations of dissolved Fe and PO43− and NH4+ ions support the reducing condition of subsurface aquifer. Arsenic concentrations demonstrate negative co-relation with the
concentrations of SO42− and NO3− but correlate weakly with Mo, Fe concentrations and positively with those of P, PO43− and NH4+ ions. 相似文献

An integrated study has been carried out to elucidate the distribution and occurrence of arsenic in selected groundwater samples
in the area of Sherajdikhan, Bangladesh. Arsenic and other parameters (T, pH, EC, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl−, NO3
−, SO4
2−, HCO3
−, PO4
3−, Fe, Mn and DOC) have been measured in groundwater samples collected from shallow/deep tube wells at different depths. Hydrogeochemical
data suggest that the groundwaters are generally Ca–Mg–HCO3 and Mg–Ca–HCO3 types with bicarbonate (HCO3
−) as the dominant anion, though the other type of water has also been observed. Dissolved arsenic in groundwater ranged from
0.006 to 0.461 mg/l, with 69% groundwater samples exceeded the Bangladesh limit for safe drinking water (0.05 mg/l). Correlation
and principal component analysis have been performed to find out possible relationships among the examined parameters in groundwater.
Low concentrations of NO3
− and SO4
2−, and high concentrations of DOC, HCO3
− and PO4
3− indicate the reducing condition of subsurface aquifer where sediments are deposited with abundant organic matter. Distinct
relationship of As with Fe and Mn, and strong correlation with DOC suggests that the biodegradation of organic matter along
with reductive dissolution of Fe–Mn oxyhydroxides has being considered the dominant process to release As in the aquifers

This study presents the data on the hydrochemical characteristics and isotope chemistry of Liwa aquifer, which could be useful
to clarify the hydrochemical facies and hydrogeological regime in the study area. Electric conductivity and total dissolved
solid values show that the investigated water is slightly brackish, due to the effect of evaporation and the occurrences of
evaporite rocks in the adjacent Sabkhas of Abu Dhabi. Major cations and anions arranged according to their decreasing concentrations
are: Na+ > Ca+2 > K+ > Mg+2 and Cl− > HCO3
− > SO4−2, respectively. As sodium is the dominate cation and chloride is the prevailing anion, hydrochemically the groundwater of
Liwa can be classified as Na–Cl rich, predominantly chloridic. Ion concentrations increase towards the northeast and presumably
coincide with the lithological sources of ions. Factors affecting the hydrochemistry of the groundwater of the investigated
area include the effect of weathering of soil and rocks, evaporation and agricultural activities. Stable isotopes of oxygen
and hydrogen show that the shallow aquifers contain a single water type that originated in a distinct climatic regime. This
water type deviates from the local meteoric water line, as well as from the Eastern Mediterranean Meteoric Water Line, suggesting
potential evaporation of recharged water prior to infiltration. The waters are poor in tritium, and thus can be considered
generally as indication for recharge prior to 1952. The degradation of groundwater quality can be attributed to evaporation
and agricultural practices in most cases. 相似文献

In this study, 92 groundwater samples were collected from the Attica region (Greece). Moreover, geographical information system
database, geochemistry of groundwater samples and statistics were applied. These were used for studying the chemical parameters
(NO3
−, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl−, and Na+) and conductivity spatial distribution and for assessing their environmental impact. The ranges of chemical parameters of
the water samples (in mg L−1) are: NO3
− 1–306, Mg2+ 2–293, Ca2+ 3–453, Cl− 5–1,988, and Na+ 4–475. The elevated concentrations of sodium, Mg2+, Cl− are attributed to natural contamination (seawater intrusion). On the other hand, NO3
− elevated concentrations are attributed to anthropogenic contamination (nitrate fertilizers). The results of the GIS analysis
showed that elevated values of Na+, Mg2+, Cl− are related to shrubby and sparsely vegetated areas, while elevated values of NO3
− are connected with urban and agricultural areas. 相似文献

About 24 samples from hand-dug wells and boreholes were used to characterize concentrations of the main inorganic ions in
a laterite environment under semi-arid climatic conditions in Tikaré, northern Burkina Faso. It was found that the most represented
groundwater anion in groundwater was HCO3
− with average levels of 49.1 mg/L in the dry season and 33.5 mg/L in the rainy season. The most represented cation was Ca2+ with mean concentrations of 13.7 and 9.5 mg/L, respectively. The main processes, which influence the concentrations of these
ions, are evaporation (dry season), local enrichment of recharge water in some elements, ion exchange and fixation by clay
minerals (in case of K+). The best correlations were found between Ca2+ and Mg2+ (r = 0.95), Cl− and Na+ (r = 0.95), HCO3
− and Mg2+ (r = 0.89), HCO3
− and Ca2+ (r = 0.89), and between HCO3
− and Na+ (r = 0.80). In general, the quality of the groundwater from the different wells sampled for this study was good enough to serve
as drinking water. However, there were situations where the quality of water was polluted because of anthropogenic contaminants
(mainly NO3
−, K+, Cl−) from septic tanks and manure pits located in the vicinity of some sampled wells. In addition, application of fertilizers
also represents a potential anthropogenic contamination source with regard to SO4
2−, Ca2+, K+, Na+, and Mg2+. Considering the high concentrations of SO4
2−, Mg2+, Na+ and Ca2+ found in one borehole, the deeper, fractured aquifers were also likely to be enriched in these elements. In contrast, the
shallow aquifers are likely to be contaminated with Cl−, NO3
− and K+. Cl− and K+ seem to be locally present in recharge water as shown by their relative higher mean concentrations in the rainy season samples. 相似文献
