Characteristics of Hydrogen and Oxygen Isotopes and Noble Gas Isotopes in the Groundwater of Weishan, Wudalianchi, Northeast China

According to the hydrochemical characteristics, hydrogen and oxygen isotope characteristics and the ratio of noble gas isotopes of the sandstone aquifer and basalt aquifer, this study calculated the recharge temperature and residence time of groundwater in the Weishan area of Wudalianchi, also calculating the contribution of noble gas components from different sources to the samples. Based on the characteristics of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes and noble gases Xe and Ne, the recharge altitude and recharge temperature of the two aquifers were estimated, and the recharge temperature fitting with the NGT model as verified, the results showing that the main recharge altitude of groundwater in the region was 500–600 m, the recharge temperature being 2–7°C. Heeq and Heea of the samples have been simulated using the OD model, the content of radioactive 4He in the crust being obtained, the groundwater ages under the two conditions (closed condition and open condition) both being simulated. The results show that groundwater from the sandstone layer water is older than groundwater from the basalt layer. Hydrochemical characteristics and noble gas isotope ratios indicate that in the basalt aquifer and sandstone aquifer in the Weishan area, in addition to atmospheric and crustal helium, there is also an input of mantle-derived helium. The fault constitutes the uplift channel for groundwater containings mantle components, which results in the mantle source composition in water samples near the fault being much higher than those form non-fault areas.     

鄱阳湖流域赣江下游水化学特征及人类健康风险评价

人类活动对鄱阳湖赣江流域水质的影响受到广泛关注,厘清流域内污染水体对人类的健康风险状况有利于更好地保护和利用水资源。本研究于赣江下游采集39个地下水和16个地表水样,在分析其水化学特征和影响因素的基础上,对地下水水化学成分演变进行反向模拟,并对地下水水质以及潜在非致癌风险进行评价。结果表明,研究区地下水呈弱酸性-中性(pH=5.47~7.60),以HCO₃-Ca-Mg型水为主,部分为Cl-Ca-Mg型水,硅酸岩风化和矿物溶解-沉淀作用是水化学类型形成的主要控制因素;地表水呈中性-弱碱性(pH=6.94~8.19),主要为HCO₃-Cl-Ca-Na型水,其形成与硅酸岩风化、大气降水和人类活动有关。PHREEQC模拟计算结果表明,地下水中大部分矿物饱和指数(SI)为负数,其中岩盐的SI为-7.80~-9.53,指示该矿物溶解剧烈;白云石、石膏和方解石的SI分别为-1.72~-6.39、-1.65~-3.96、-0.51~-3.09,表明三种矿物呈溶解趋势。反向模拟结果显示,赣江干流地下水化学特征演变过程经历了Ca-蒙脱石、岩盐、白云石溶解和方解石沉淀,同时消耗CO₂;支流中命名为NCGW-3的路径表现为高岭石、方解石、玉髓和白云石溶解,石膏、Ca-蒙脱石、黑云母和斜长石沉淀,同时产生CO₂,可能与人为作用的干扰有关。其余支流地下水反向模拟结果与干流结果相似。熵权水质指数(EWQI)计算结果表明,干流地下水水质优于支流地下水,沿赣江受Mn、N {\mathrm{O}}_3^{-}影响水质降低;地下水非致癌潜在风险主要为对婴儿存在严重风险,其次是儿童,对成年男性和成年女性风险相对较小,支流水质存在的潜在风险相较于干流更为显著。     

西藏麻米错富硼锂盐湖成矿物质平衡计算与物质来源

麻米错盐湖是西藏境内发育的特大型锂矿床之一,目前对该盐湖的Li、B来源仍存在一定争议。文章系统采集麻米错盐湖水及周边补给水体样品,分析其主量元素特征,并使用多种水化学手段进行讨论,同时对盐湖水、河水及地热水进行蒸发模拟。结果表明,研究区河水及泉水中的主要离子受控于流域内岩石风化作用,其中碳酸盐岩矿物与蒸发岩矿物贡献最大,其次是硅酸盐矿物。文章对补给水体输入盐湖的Li、B资源进行定量计算,得出单纯通过河水和泉水的输入无法形成盐湖目前的探明储量。选择西藏地区最为富Li的地热水同补给水体按照一定比例混合后进行蒸发模拟,发现其析盐序列与盐湖水的析盐序列存在很大程度上的重叠,以上均证明麻米错盐湖中的Li、B资源除受到周边河水及泉水的补给外,还受到地热水的补给。     

疏勒河源区水化学特征及其控制因素分析

以疏勒河源区为研究区,自2018年12月至2019年11月分别采集河水、泉水和雪样样品44个、4个和7个,综合运用Piper三线图、Gibbs图、离子比值法定性分析不同水体水化学特征及控制因素,利用质量平衡法（正向地球化学模型）量化不同来源对不同季节河水水化学成分的贡献率。结果表明：疏勒河源区不同水体水化学特征存在差异,TDS含量为泉水>河水>冰川融水>雪水,河水水化学类型冬季为HCO₃^--Mg²⁺?Ca²⁺型,春季为HCO₃^--Ca²⁺?Mg²⁺?Na⁺型,夏、秋季均为HCO₃^--Ca²⁺?Mg²⁺型,泉水和雪水分别为HCO₃^--Ca²⁺?Mg²⁺型、HCO₃^--Ca²⁺型;受多种因素共同影响,不同季节河水主离子时空变化均存在差异;河水和泉水水化学组成受岩石风化作用控制,主离子来源于以白云石为主的碳酸盐岩风化、硅酸盐岩风化和盐岩、石膏、硫酸盐矿物等蒸发岩溶解;正向地球化学模型计算结果表明冬春季河水阳离子主要来源于硅酸盐岩风化溶解,夏秋季碳酸盐岩对河水阳离子贡献率大于硅酸盐岩,总体河水阳离子主要来源于碳酸盐岩和硅酸盐岩风化。     

贡嘎山海螺沟水化学主离子特征及其控制因素

在系统采集贡嘎山海螺沟水样的基础上,综合运用描述性统计、相关性分析、Gibbs图、阴阳离子三角图和主成分分析法,对水化学主离子特征及其控制因素进行了分析。结果表明:Ca2+和HCO3-分别平均占阳、阴离子总量的78.63%和67.28%;源头区总溶解固体含量(TDS)与雨水的含量相当,全流域TDS平均值为128.36 mg/L;海螺沟流域水化学类型为Ca2+—HCO3-。在源头区,由于冰雪融水对径流量补给量较大,大气降水的输入作用对源头区水体化学离子的组成具有一定的影响。从全流域看,岩石的化学风化是海螺沟水化学主离子来源的主要控制因素,蒸发-结晶和大气降水的作用影响较小。而碳酸盐岩的风化则是海螺沟流域岩石风化的主要类型。

为研究常见地表污染源对地下水造成的影响,开展了某傍河区域的研究。在对傍河研究区开展野外调查、钻探取样分析等工作的基础上,从水化学角度对研究区地下水进行了系统分析,揭示了研究区内污染河水与地下水并没有明显的水力联系,深、浅含水层水力联系微弱;浅层地下水化学成分的形成以溶滤作用为主,并存在阳离子交换作用,易受到地表污染源及人为活动的影响;深层地下水化学成分的形成主要受到大区域水文地质环境演化的影响。     

Impact of Ditching in a Small Forested Catchment on Concentrations of Suspended Material, Organic Carbon, Hydrogen Ions and Metals in Stream Water

Stream-water samples were collected during a 4-year-period in twosmall streams, one whose catchment was ditched for forestry halfway through the sampling period and another nearby reference stream whose catchment was not ditched during this period. The main aim was to study the impact of forest ditching on stream-water quality. Whereas the artificial drainage did not change the hydrograph pattern, it had a large effect on stream hydrochemistry: the concentrations of suspended material, Mn, Ca, Mg and Al increased, theconcentrations of total organic carbon decreased, and pH increased by approximately one unit, from an average of 4.4 to 5.4. The increase in suspended material, Mn and Al concentrations is explainedby the physical mobilisation of mineral particulates/colloids from mineral soils (till) exposed on the ditch slopes beneath the peat layer, while the increase in Ca and Mg loads is explained by the release of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ in exchange reactions in this same soil layer. The increase in pH and decrease in TOC concentrations after ditching are related to changes in hydrological flow paths in the catchments, and most likely to immobilisation of both hydrogen ions and humic substances in the near neutral till horizon exposed beneath the peat layer. Only the aquatic abundance of Fewas not significantly affected by the ditching.     

Effect of widespread severely acidic soils on spatial features and abundance of trace elements in streams

In the coastal area of western Finland, a large number of streams are strongly acidic and contaminated with metals. The reason for this is not historical and present industrial, mining and urban activities, but a current high rate of weathering and leaching of widespread acid sulphate soils (pH 2.5–4.0) developed in artificially drained Holocene marine and lacustrine sulphide-bearing sediments. Evaluation of existing hydro- and geochemical field and experimental data revealed that: (1) cobalt, Ni and Zn are extensively leached from the acid sulphate soils and thus exist abundantly in streams affected by such soils, (2) copper and Tl are also leached abundantly from the acid sulphate soils, although not to the same extent as are Co, Ni and Zn, (3) vanadium is in general depleted and Cr only weakly enriched in streams draining ‘the average acid sulphate soil’, but they increase substantially in severely acidic streams in catchments underlain with particularly acidic soil, (4) arsenic and Pb are not leached more abundantly from the acid sulphate soils than from the common types of soils and sediments (till, glaciofluvial deposits, peat) resulting in aquatic abundance and distribution patterns unrelated to the acid sulphate soil occurrences.     

Hydrogeologic framework of the Deccan terrain of the Koyna River basin, India

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. Electronic Publication
