Hydrochemical characterization of an acid mine drainage-affected reservoir: the Sancho Reservoir,Huelva, southwest Spain

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to discover the relationship between variables in a water reservoir and the hydrochemical variations related to acid mine drainage (AMD), and to describe the horizontal stratification related to vertical salinity and variations in metals present in the region. The information obtained may be used for establishing risk evaluation criteria and to design future remediation strategies, which could be useful for new dams. The hydrochemical characterization was based on a sampling campaign performed in October 2011. A total of 28 samples, at 1-m-deep intervals, were obtained. The hydrogeochemical study of the polluted reservoir shows that the dilution effect is not sufficient to neutralize AMD contributions from mining activity. Sampling carried out from the surface water to the deepest points reveals stratification of the reservoir that allows it to be included in the group of monomictic and holomitic lakes.

管波的实验观测

本文报道了分层介质井间物理模型的实验现象:在接收井所得到的波形中,在分层位置管波幅度明显衰减,离开分层界面一段距离以后,管波开始加强.     

重建地下介质相对衰减的分布:新的成象方法

在传统的连续波电磁层析成象方法中,影响线性方程组的解的重要参量--波源的辐射功率因子k,常常难以确定或根本无法确定,使方法的应用受到严重限制.本文提出了新的电磁层析成象方法,其线性方程组与k无关,能用于传统方法无法应用的情况.新方法重建的地下介质相对衰减的二维分布图象,比传统方法重建的绝对衰减的二维分布图象具有更好的分辨力和稳定性,更有利于地质解释.新方法已成功应用于8个不同地区电波勘探资料的处理.
