Groundwater–surface water interactions in a lowland watershed: source contribution to stream flow

The lower coastal plain of the Southeast USA is undergoing rapid urbanisation as a result of population growth. Land use change has been shown to affect watershed hydrology by altering stream flow and, ultimately, impairing water quality and ecologic health. However, because few long‐term studies have focused on groundwater–surface water interactions in lowland watersheds, it is difficult to establish what the effect of development might be in the coastal plain region. The objective of this study was to use an innovative improvement to end‐member mixing analysis (EMMA) to identify time sequences of hydrologic processes affecting storm flow. Hydrologic and major ion chemical data from groundwater, soil water, precipitation and stream sites were collected over a 2‐year period at a watershed located in USDA Forest Service's Santee Experimental Forest near Charleston, South Carolina, USA. Stream flow was ephemeral and highly dependent on evapotranspiration rates and rainfall amount and intensity. Hydrograph separation for a series of storm events using EMMA allowed us to identify precipitation, riparian groundwater and streambed groundwater as main sources to stream flow, although source contribution varied as a function of antecedent soil moisture condition. Precipitation, as runoff, dominated stream flow during all storm events while riparian and streambed groundwater contributions varied and were mainly dependent on antecedent soil moisture condition. Sensitivity analyses examined the influence of 10% and 50% increases in analyte concentration on EMMA calculations and found that contribution estimates were very sensitive to changes in chemistry. This study has implications on the type of methodology used in traditional forms of EMMA research, particularly in the recognition and use of median end‐member water chemistry in hydrograph separation techniques. Potential effects of urban development on important hydrologic processes (groundwater recharge, interflow, runoff, etc.) that influence stream flow in these lowland watersheds were qualitatively examined.

冀东迁西—迁安地区紫苏花岗岩的地球化学特征及其成因

本文根据地质和地球化学的研究提出本区紫苏花岗岩主要是由英云闪长质、花岗闪长质岩浆侵位之后经麻粒岩相变质而形成的。根据地球化学特征,本区的紫苏花岗岩可分为大离子亲石元素亏损的北区(太平寨—三屯营)和大离子亲石元素较富集的南区(水厂—松汀),它们的地球化学差异反映了其形成时构造条件的不同。     

渭河平原地下水分布特征与环境同位素研究——以白杨水源地为例

白杨水源地座落在渭河下游重镇——渭南市西北约5km处，为渭河冲积平原的一部分。区内第四纪松散堆积物巨厚，地形平坦，降水充沛，地表水丰富，为地下水储存提供了良好的空间。按含水介质的埋藏条件可划分为潜水、浅层承压水、中层承压水和深层承压水4个含水岩组。为了进一步研究地下水的补给形成机制、储存运移过程、排泄开采条件，本文结合环境同位素（包括14C、13C、3H、D和18O）对水源地地下水年龄、地下水运动速率以及一些水文地质参数进行研究和探讨。而同位素测定表明：水源地潜水为现代水，3H含量较高，河水补给量占1/2

冀北坝上地区深部地质构造特征及其对火山活动和铀成矿的控制作用

冀北坝上地区位于华北地台北缘。其深部地质构造有两个显著特征：一是全区性的莫霍面下拗，地壳增厚；二是软流圈部分伸入到下岩石图上部，造成局部地区地幔上隆，地壳减薄。火山喷发形成的沽源火山盆地和大滩火山盆地与两个地幔上隆，地壳减薄区，上下相互对应。铀矿床（点）沿地幔隆起周边构造活动带规律性分布。上述两事实有力地证明了深部地质构造对中新生代火山活动和铀成矿的控制作用。沿地幔隆起周边构造活动带是今后寻找铀及多金属矿产的有利地段。
