Quality assessment and hydrogeochemical characteristics of groundwater in Agastheeswaram taluk,Kanyakumari district,Tamil Nadu,India

The present study investigates the hydrogeochemical characteristics of groundwater quality in Agas- theeswaram taluk of Kanyakumari district, Tamil Nadu, India. A total of 69 groundwater samples were collected during pre- and post-monsoon periods of 2011-2012. The groundwater quality assessment has been carried out by evaluating the physicochemical parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, HCO3, Cl, SO42-, Ca2＋, Mg2＋, Na＋ and K＋ for both the seasons. Based on these parameters, groundwater has been assessed in favor of its suitability for drinking and irrigation purpose. Dominant cations for both the seasons are in the order of Na＋〉 Ca2＋〉 Mg2＋ 〉 K＋ while the dominant anions for post monsoon and pre monsoon have the trends of CI 〉 HCO3 〉 SO42- and HCO3- 〉 CI 〉 SO42-, respectively. Analytical results observed from various indices reveal that the groundwater quality is fairly good in some places. Analytical results of few samples show that they are severely polluted and incidentally found to be near the coasts, estuaries and salt pans in the study area. The Gibbs plot indicates that the majority of groundwater samples fall in rock dominant region, which indicates rock water interaction in the study area. The United States salinity （USSL） diagram shows that the groundwater is free from sodium hazards but the salinity hazard varies from low to very high throughout the study area. This reveals that the groundwater is moderately suitable for agricultural activities. The observed chemical variations in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons may be the effect to rock-water interactions, ion-exchange reactions, and runoff of fertilizers from the surrounding agricultural lands.

近年在河南省嵩山地区发现有熊耳群火山岩地层。通过岩石学、地球化学特征及成因研究,认为嵩山地区熊耳群火山岩主要为弱过铝质流纹岩,属于高钾钙碱性系列-钾玄岩系列,以高硅、高钾、过铝、贫钠、贫钙镁为特征;轻稀土富集,重稀土亏损,轻重稀土分馏较为明显,Eu强烈负异常,Ce微弱负异常;富Ba而贫Sr,Rb,U,富Zr而贫Nb,Th,Hf,Ta;岩石属A型岩浆作用产物,形成于板内拉张环境。     

内蒙古阿巴嘎萨茹塔拉地区地球化学异常特征及成矿潜力分析

萨茹塔拉是内蒙古中部近年来发现的具有较好找矿潜力的钼-铜-金矿化区。文章在1∶5万水系沉积物测量的基础上,结合区域地质背景特征,从单元素异常、异常元素组合特征等方面对该地区已发现的多处金、钼等矿床、矿点进行初步分析,结果表明已知矿床大部分位于矿致异常浓集中心,多元素组合异常套合较好,并指示了多处同样具有找矿前景的异常浓集中心。二叠系是赋矿有利层位;频繁的岩浆活动不但提供了成矿物质,而且使地层中的成矿元素进一步富集,并在构造有利部位成矿。
