The impact of agricultural land use on stream chemistry and inputs to an inland reservoir: case of the Sauce Grande River,Argentina

Abstract

Water quality in the Paso Piedras Reservoir has deteriorated, primarily due to periodic blue-green algal blooms, making it temporarily unfit for human consumption. This phenomenon results from the eutrophication of waters of the watershed, and nutrients are considered to be the primary contributors to degradation of freshwater quality. In order to reduce the levels of nitrogen and, most of all, phosphorus, entering the Paso Piedras Reservoir, it is necessary to understand the incidence of diffuse transfers of nutrients from agricultural soils. The nitrogen composition, soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) and other physico-chemical parameters of the water were analysed in various different parts of the watershed in order to characterize water input to the reservoir from areas with different anthropogenic activity. The upper Sauce Grande basin was divided into three areas with different edaphic characteristics. The physico-chemical parameters measured in sampling surveys included: SRP, ammonium and nitrate, pH, conductivity, turbidity, and total solids. The results showed that the water of the Sauce Grande (areas 1 and 2) was not strongly contaminated, but in El Divisorio (Area 3, which is a sub-watershed whose stream flows directly into the Paso Piedras Reservoir), the levels of conductivity, total suspended sediments and SRP were so high that its contribution to the reservoir accounts for nearly 50% of the total SRP input. The main characteristics of El Divisorio watershed that make it a diffuse source of SRP were not only that its soils, under agricultural-livestock production, have significant slopes, so that water and wind erosion are faster, but also that human intervention had caused the destruction of aggregates. The results showed the influence of the soil characteristics, production systems and the micro-environment developed in the reservoir on the characteristics of waters flowing out of the reservoir. The two villages located in Area 2 had no significant influence on the concentration of nitrogen compounds and SRP found downstream.

包气带硝酸盐分布的差异性及其形成机理:以正定、栾城为例

在地表等量氮输入条件下,包气带中硝酸盐含量分布是其抗污染能力的直接表征。阐明不同包气带中硝酸盐分布的差异并分析其成因对于评价下覆含水层的硝酸盐污染脆弱性、保护地下水资源免遭硝酸盐污染,具有重要意义。本文基于太行山山前冲洪积扇上栾城和正定两个16m深包气带硝酸盐含量数据,指出两个剖面上包气带中硝酸盐分布特征的差异性。分析研究区的施肥历史、大气降水的入渗补给强度及土壤有机质含量,认为包气带水分运移速度和反硝化能力是导致包气带硝酸盐分布差异的两个关键因素。在分析N同位素测试技术进步的基础上,指出利用同位素技术对包气带中的反硝化能力的定量化研究有望取得新进展。     

纳米铁还原脱氮动力学及其影响因素

饮用水中硝酸盐(NO3-)对人体健康有危害。为了去除水溶液中NO3-,在实验室制得纳米铁颗粒。它的粒径为20～40 nm,比表面积(BET)为49.16 m2/g。本研究通过批实验考察了纳米铁对NO3-还原脱氮动力学性质和影响NO3-脱氮快慢的主要因素,如反应pH、纳米铁投加量和NO3-起始浓度。实验结果表明,pH越低越有利于NO 3-还原。在一定范围内,NO 3-还原速率随纳米铁投加量增加而增大,而随NO 3-起始浓度升高而降低,反应遵循准一级反应动力学方程,表面吸附和氧化还原反应是纳米铁对NO3-脱氮的主要去除机理。纳米铁对NO3-还原过程中可能反应的途径进行了讨论,NO3-还原产物取决于反应条件。在本研究条件下,纳米铁对NO3-脱氮的最终产物主要为NH4+-N而不是N2,必须进行更多的研究来解决这一问题。

鲁西北平原夏玉米产量与土壤硝态氮淋失

供水量和氮肥施用量是影响农田硝态氮淋失的主要因素。本文通过田间小区试验,研究了水分和氮肥用量对夏玉米产量和土壤硝态氮的影响。试验表明,高水处理（0～50cm平均含水量控制在85%FC,FC为田间持水量032）和低水处理（0～50cm平均含水量控制在70%FC）间产量差异不显著,施肥量（0、100、200、和300kgNha^-1）则具有显著影响,并且在200kgNha^-1左右时达到最高产量;高水条件下土壤水分硝态氮下渗强,运移深度大,所有施肥处理在200cm处的土壤水硝态氮浓度都要高于国家饮用地下水标准10mgNL-1;低水条件下水分下渗弱,运移深度小于高水处理,但是在200cm处,200、300kgNha^-1处理的土壤溶液硝态氮浓度依然高于10mgNL^-1。

Assessment of Nitrate—Nitrogen Distribution in Kansas Groundwater, 1990–1998

Nitrate-nitrogen (nitrate-N) in groundwater is a potential problem in many parts of Kansas.From 1990 to 1998, 747 water samples were collected from domestic, irrigation, monitoring,and public water supply wells primarily from the western two-thirds of the state, and analyzedfor nitrate-N by the Kansas Geological Survey. Nitrate-N concentrations of the 747 samplesanalyzed range from 29% with less than or equal to 3 mg/L, 51% between 3 and 10 mg/L,and 20% greater than or equal to 10 mg/L. Factors that show a statistically significantrelationship with the occurrence of nitrate-N in Kansas groundwater in this assessment includegeographic area of the state, depth of well, and age of well. Nitrate-N levels of wells screenedin the High Plains aquifer in south-central Kansas showed a statistically higher concentrationthan samples collected from the High Plains aquifer in the western portion of the state.Comparison of nitrate-N with depth of well indicated that shallower wells throughout the stategenerally have higher nitrate-N values than deeper wells. Irrigation wells older than 1975showed statistically higher nitrate-N concentration than wells installed during and since 1975,possibly related to changes in well-construction practices and regulations that occurred in 1975.     

莱西地区施肥对地下水硝酸盐污染的过程

通过实地调查和渗水、硝化、吸附、弥散等室内外试验,获取了所需水文地质参数。利用VS2D/T(Variably Saturat-ed 2-D Flow and Transport Model)模型,建立了莱西地区包气带水流-溶质运移模型,分析了莱西地区施肥过程中对地下水的硝酸盐污染。研究结果表明,氮肥中的硝酸盐对地下水的补给量占当次施肥量的24%和43%,进入到地下水中硝酸盐的平均浓度分别约为130mg/L和177mg/L,远高于当地地下水中硝酸盐63.5mg/L的平均浓度,说明不合理的施用氮肥是造成莱西地区地下水硝酸盐污染的1个主要原因。通过模拟不同灌溉和施肥模式下对地下水的硝酸盐污染,得出灌溉方式的改变对于减少施肥造成的地下水硝酸盐污染的作用最大。
