The objective of this study was to identify geochemical processes and Quaternary geological events responsible for the variations
in groundwater geochemistry observed in a sedimentary rock aquifer system, including brackish to saline groundwater. Inorganic
constituents and environmental isotopes were analyzed for 146 groundwater samples. Dissolution of carbonates dominates in
recharge areas, resulting in Ca-, Mg-HCO3 groundwater. Further along flow paths, under confined conditions, Ca2+–Na+ ion exchange causes groundwater evolution to Na-HCO3 type. Na-Cl groundwater is also found and it falls on a seawater mixing line. Using conservative tracers, Cl− and Br−, the original Champlain Sea water is shown to have been, in the region, a mixture of about 34% seawater and 66% freshwater,
a composition still retained by some groundwater. Na-Cl groundwater thus results from mixing with former Champlain Sea water
and also from solute diffusion from overlying marine clay. The system is thus found to be at different stages of desalinization,
from the original Champlain Sea water still present in hydraulically stagnant areas of the aquifer to fully flushed conditions
in parts, where more flow occurs, especially in recharge zones. The geochemical processes are integrated within the hydrogeological
context to produce a conceptual geochemical evolution model for groundwater of the aquifer system. 相似文献

Isotopic and geochemical characteristics of groundwater in the Senegal River delta aquifer: implication of recharge and flow regime 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

Groundwater and surface water samples were collected to improve understanding of the Senegal River Lower Valley and Delta
system, which is prone to salinization. Inorganic ion concentrations and environmental isotopes (18O, 2H and 3H) in groundwater, river, lake and precipitation were investigated to gain insight into the functioning of the system with
regard to recharge sources and process, groundwater renewability, hydraulic interconnection and geochemical evolution. The
geochemical characteristics of the system display mainly cation (Ca2+ and/or Na+) bicarbonated waters, which evolve to chloride water type; this occurs during groundwater flow in the less mineralized part
of the aquifer. In contrast, saline intrusion and secondary brines together with halite dissolution are likely to contaminate
the groundwater to Na–Cl type. Halite, gypsum and calcite dissolution determine the major ion (Na+, Cl−, Ca2+, Mg2+, SO4
2− and HCO3
−) chemistry, but other processes such as evaporation, salt deposition, ion exchange and reverse exchange reactions also control
the groundwater chemistry. Both surface water and groundwater in the system show an evaporation effect, but high evaporated
signatures in the groundwater may be due to direct evaporation from the ground, infiltration of evaporated water or enriched
rainwater in this region. The stable isotopes also reveal two types of groundwater in this system, which geomorphologically
are distributed in the sand dunes (depleted isotopes) and in the flood plain (enriched isotopes). Consideration of the 3H content reinforces this grouping and suggests two mechanisms of recharge: contribution of enriched surface water in recharging
the flood plain groundwater and, in the sand dunes area where water table is at depth between 8 and 13 m, slow recharge process
characterized the submodern to mixed water. 相似文献

Hydrogeochemical processes in the groundwater environment of Heihe River Basin,northwest China 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The Heihe River Basin is a typical arid inland river basin for examining stress on groundwater resources in northwest China.
The basin is composed of large volumes of unconsolidated Quaternary sediments of widely differing grain size, and during the
past half century, rapid socio-economic development has created an increased demand for groundwater resources. Understanding
the hydrogeochemical processes of groundwater and water quality is important for sustainable development and effective management
of groundwater resources in the Heihe River basin. To this end, a total of 30 representative groundwater samples were collected
from different wells to monitor the water chemistry of various ions and its quality for irrigation. Chemical analysis shows
that water presents a large spatial variability of chemical facies (SO4
2−–HCO3−, SO4
2−–Cl−, and Cl−–SO4
2−) as groundwater flow from recharge area to discharge area. The ionic ratio indicates positive correlation between the flowing
pairs of parameters: Cl− and Na+(r = 0.95), SO4
2− and Na+ (r = 0.84), HCO3
− and Mg2+(r = 0.86), and SO4
2− and Ca2+ (r = 0.91). Dissolution of minerals, such as halite, gypsum, dolomite, silicate, and Mirabilite (Na2SO4·10H2O) in the sediments results in the Cl−, SO4
2−, HCO3
−, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ content in the groundwater. Other reactions, such as evaporation, ion exchange, and deposition also influence the water composition.
The suitability of the groundwater for irrigation was assessed based on the US Salinity Laboratory salinity classification
and the Wilcox diagram. The results show that most of the groundwater samples are suitable for irrigation uses barring a few
locations in the dessert region in the northern sub-basin. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine geochemical properties of groundwater and thermal water in the Misli Basin and to assess
thermal water intrusion into shallow groundwater due to over-extraction. According to isotope and hydrochemical analyses results,
sampled waters can be divided into three groups: cold, thermal, and mixed waters. Only a few waters reach water–rock chemical
equilibrium. Thermal waters in the area are characterized by Na+–Cl−–HCO3−, while the cold waters by CaHCO3 facies. On the basis of isotope results, thermal waters in the Misli basin are meteoric origin. In particular, δ18O and δ2H values of shallow groundwater vary from −10.2 to −12.2‰ and −71.2 to −82‰, while those of thermal waters range from −7.8
to −10.1‰ and from −67 to −74‰, respectively. The tritium values of shallow groundwater having short circulation as young
waters coming from wells that range from 30 to 70 m in depth vary from 10 to 14 TU. The average tritium activity of groundwater
in depths more than 100 m is 1.59 ± 1.16, which indicates long circulation. The rapid infiltration of the precipitation, the
recycling of the evaporated irrigation water, the influence of thermal fluids and the heterogeneity of the aquifer make it
difficult to determine groundwater quality changes in the Misli Basin. Obtained results show that further lowering of the
groundwater table by over-consumption will cause further intrusion of thermal water which resulted in high mineral content
into the fresh groundwater aquifer. Because of this phenomenon, the concentrations of some chemical components which impairs
water quality in terms of irrigation purposes in shallow groundwaters, such as Na+, B, and Cl−, are highy probably expected to increase in time. 相似文献

Groundwater salinization processes in shallow coastal aquifer of Djeffara plain of Medenine, Southeastern Tunisia 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

Urban and industrial development and the expansion of irrigated agriculture have led to a drastic increase in the exploitation
of groundwater resources. The over-exploitation of coastal aquifers has caused a seawater intrusion and has seriously degraded
groundwater quality. The shallow coastal aquifer of the Djeffara plain, southeastern Tunisia constitutes an example of water
resource suffering an intensive and uncontrolled pumping for irrigation. Intensive exploitation of the aquifer and climate
aridity caused a decrease in piezometric level and an increase in salinity. According to the hydrochemical data (Cl−, SO4
2−, NO3
−, HCO3
−, Br−, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+) and the stable isotope composition (oxygen-18 and deuterium content), groundwater salinization in the investigated system
is caused by three main processes: (i) salts dissolution especially in the central part of Jerba and around Medenine plain;
(ii) evaporation process; and (iii) seawater intrusion which caused the increase in salinity in the peninsula of El Jorf,
in Jerba and in the North of Ben Gardane. 相似文献

Characterization and appraisal of facets influencing geochemistry of groundwater in the Kulpawn sub-basin of the White Volta Basin, Ghana 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Groundwater composition in the Kulpawn basin is largely controlled by aluminosilicates dissolution and cation exchange resulting
in mainly Ca-Mg-HCO3 and NaHCO3 water types. Principal component analysis, Piper graphical classification, and stable isotope (18O and 2H) of groundwater and surface-water samples were used to delineate geochemical processes and groundwater facies. The groundwater
is mildly acid to neutral and low in conductivity. Chemical constituents except HCO3
− and SiO2 have low concentration. No cation shows clear majority, however, the order of relative abundance is Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+. HCO3
− is the predominant anion and the order of abundance is HCO3
− > NO3
− > SO4
2− > Cl−. SiO2 concentration is high compared with the major cations. Dissolution of plagioclase, pyroxene and biotite and cation exchange
are responsible for groundwater composition. Isotopic data suggest integrative, smooth and rapid recharge from meteoric origin.
The groundwater quality is generally good for domestic usage; however, 18 and 47% of boreholes respectively have NO3
− and F− levels outside WHO recommended limits suggesting potential physiological problems in some localities. The groundwater has
low sodium absorption ratio and low to moderate salinity hazard but significant magnesium hazard partially limiting its use
for irrigation. 相似文献

Hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater in the Zhangye Basin, Northwestern China 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The Zhangye Basin, located in arid northwest China, is an important agricultural and industrial center. In recent years rapid
development has created an increased demand for water, which is increasingly being fulfilled by groundwater abstraction. Detailed
knowledge of the geochemical evolution of groundwater and water quality can enhance understanding of the hydrochemical system,
promoting sustainable development and effective management of groundwater resources. To this end, a hydrochemical investigation
was conducted in the Zhangye Basin. Types of shallow groundwater in the Zhangye Basin were found to be HCO3
−, HCO3
−–SO4
2−, SO4
2−–HCO3
−, SO4
2−–Cl−, Cl−–SO4
2− and Cl− . The deep aquifer groundwater type was found to be HCO3−–SO42− throughout the entire area. Ionic ratio and saturation index calculations suggest that silicate rock weathering and evaporation
deposition are the main processes that determine the ionic composition in the study area. The suitability of the groundwater
for irrigation was assessed based on the US Salinity Laboratory salinity classification and the Wilcox diagram. In the study
area, the compositions of the stable isotopes δ18O and δD in groundwater samples were found to range from −4.00 to −9.28‰ and from −34.0 to −65.0‰, respectively. These values
indicate that precipitation is the main recharge source for the groundwater system; some local values indicate high levels
of evaporation. Tritium analysis was used to estimate the ages of the different groundwaters; the tritium values of the groundwater
samples varied from 3.13 to 36.62 TU. The age of the groundwater at depths of less than 30 m is about 5–10 years. The age
of the groundwater at depths of 30–50 m is about 10–23 years. The age of the groundwater at depths of 50–100 m is about 12–29 years.
For groundwater samples at depths of greater than 100 m, the renewal time is about 40 years. 相似文献

Tunisian Chott’s region is one of the most productive artesian basins in Tunisia. It is located in the southwestern part of
the country, and its groundwater resources are developed for water supply and irrigation. The chemical composition of the
water is strongly influenced by the interaction with the basinal sediments and by hydrologic characteristics such as the flow
pattern and time of residence. The system is composed of an upper unconfined “Plio-Quaternary” aquifer with a varying thickness
of 20–200 m, an intermediate confined/unconfined “Complex Terminal” aquifer about 100 m in thickness and a deeper “Continental
Intercalaire” aquifer about 150 m in thickness separated by thick clay and marl layers. The dissolution of evaporites and
carbonates explains part of the contained Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, SO42− and Cl-, but other processes, such carbonate precipitation, also contributes to the water composition. The stable isotope composition
of waters establishes that the deep groundwater (depleted as compared to present corresponding local rainfall) is ancient
water recharged probably during the late Pleistocene and the early Holocene periods. The relatively recent water in the Plio-Quaternary
aquifer is composed of mixed waters resulting presumably from upward leakage from the deeper groundwater. 相似文献

Influence of hydrogeochemical processes on temporal changes in groundwater quality in a part of Nalgonda district, Andhra Pradesh, India 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1
Geochemical processes that take place in the aquifer have played a major role in spatial and temporal variations of groundwater
quality. This study was carried out with an objective of identifying the hydrogeochemical processes that controls the groundwater
quality in a weathered hard rock aquifer in a part of Nalgonda district, Andhra Pradesh, India. Groundwater samples were collected
from 45 wells once every 2 months from March 2008 to September 2009. Chemical parameters of groundwater such as groundwater
level, EC and pH were measured insitu. The major ion concentrations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cl−, and SO4
2− were analyzed using ion chromatograph. CO3
− and HCO3
− concentration was determined by acid–base titration. The abundance of major cation concentration in groundwater is as Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+ while that of anions is HCO3
− > SO4
2− > Cl− > CO3
−. Ca–HCO3, Na–Cl, Ca–Na–HCO3 and Ca–Mg–Cl are the dominant groundwater types in this area. Relation between temporal variation in groundwater level and
saturation index of minerals reveals the evaporation process. The ion-exchange process controls the concentration of ions
such as calcium, magnesium and sodium. The ionic ratio of Ca/Mg explains the contribution of calcite and dolomite to groundwater.
In general, the geochemical processes and temporal variation of groundwater in this area are influenced by evaporation processes,
ion exchange and dissolution of minerals. 相似文献

Recharge source and hydrogeochemical evolution of shallow groundwater in a complex alluvial fan system,southwest of North China Plain 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Fadong Li Guoying Pan Changyuan Tang Qiuying Zhang Jingjie Yu 《Environmental Geology》2008,55(5):1109-1122
Many cities around the world are developed at alluvial fans. With economic and industrial development and increase in population,
quality and quantity of groundwater are often damaged by over-exploitation in these areas. In order to realistically assess
these groundwater resources and their sustainability, it is vital to understand the recharge sources and hydrogeochemical
evolution of groundwater in alluvial fans. In March 2006, groundwater and surface water were sampled for major element analysis
and stable isotope (oxygen-18 and deuterium) compositions in Xinxiang, which is located at a complex alluvial fan system composed
of a mountainous area, Taihang Mt. alluvial fan and Yellow River alluvial fan. In the Taihang mountainous area, the groundwater
was recharged by precipitation and was characterized by Ca–HCO3 type water with depleted δ18O and δD (mean value of −8.8‰ δ18O). Along the flow path from the mountainous area to Taihang Mt. alluvial fan, the groundwater became geochemically complex
(Ca–Na–Mg–HCO3–Cl–SO4 type), and heavier δ18O and δD were observed (around −8‰ δ18O). Before the surface water with mean δ18O of −8.7‰ recharged to groundwater, it underwent isotopic enrichment in Taihang Mt. alluvial fan. Chemical mixture and ion
exchange are expected to be responsible for the chemical evolution of groundwater in Yellow River alluvial fan. Transferred
water from the Yellow River is the main source of the groundwater in the Yellow River alluvial fan in the south of the study
area, and stable isotopic compositions of the groundwater (mean value of −8.8‰ δ18O) were similar to those of transferred water (−8.9‰), increasing from the southern boundary of the study area to the distal
end of the fan. The groundwater underwent chemical evolution from Ca–HCO3, Na–HCO3, to Na–SO4. A conceptual model, integrating stiff diagrams, is used to describe the spatial variation of recharge sources, chemical
evolution, and groundwater flow paths in the complex alluvial fan aquifer system. 相似文献

About 24 samples from hand-dug wells and boreholes were used to characterize concentrations of the main inorganic ions in
a laterite environment under semi-arid climatic conditions in Tikaré, northern Burkina Faso. It was found that the most represented
groundwater anion in groundwater was HCO3
− with average levels of 49.1 mg/L in the dry season and 33.5 mg/L in the rainy season. The most represented cation was Ca2+ with mean concentrations of 13.7 and 9.5 mg/L, respectively. The main processes, which influence the concentrations of these
ions, are evaporation (dry season), local enrichment of recharge water in some elements, ion exchange and fixation by clay
minerals (in case of K+). The best correlations were found between Ca2+ and Mg2+ (r = 0.95), Cl− and Na+ (r = 0.95), HCO3
− and Mg2+ (r = 0.89), HCO3
− and Ca2+ (r = 0.89), and between HCO3
− and Na+ (r = 0.80). In general, the quality of the groundwater from the different wells sampled for this study was good enough to serve
as drinking water. However, there were situations where the quality of water was polluted because of anthropogenic contaminants
(mainly NO3
−, K+, Cl−) from septic tanks and manure pits located in the vicinity of some sampled wells. In addition, application of fertilizers
also represents a potential anthropogenic contamination source with regard to SO4
2−, Ca2+, K+, Na+, and Mg2+. Considering the high concentrations of SO4
2−, Mg2+, Na+ and Ca2+ found in one borehole, the deeper, fractured aquifers were also likely to be enriched in these elements. In contrast, the
shallow aquifers are likely to be contaminated with Cl−, NO3
− and K+. Cl− and K+ seem to be locally present in recharge water as shown by their relative higher mean concentrations in the rainy season samples. 相似文献

Dissolved major ions and important heavy metals including total arsenic and iron were measured in groundwater from shallow
(25–33 m) and deep (191–318 m) tube-wells in southeastern Bangladesh. These analyses are intended to help describe geochemical
processes active in the aquifers and the source and release mechanism of arsenic in sediments for the Meghna Floodplain aquifer.
The elevated Cl− and higher proportions of Na+ relative to Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+ in groundwater suggest the influence by a source of Na+ and Cl−. Use of chemical fertilizers may cause higher concentrations of NH4+ and PO43− in shallow well samples. In general, most ions are positively correlated with Cl−, with Na+ showing an especially strong correlation with Cl−, indicating that these ions are derived from the same source of saline waters. The relationship between Cl−/HCO3− ratios and Cl− also shows mixing of fresh groundwater and seawater. Concentrations of dissolved HCO3− reflect the degree of water–rock interaction in groundwater systems and integrated microbial degradation of organic matter.
Mn and Fe-oxyhydroxides are prominent in the clayey subsurface sediment and well known to be strong adsorbents of heavy metals
including arsenic. All five shallow well samples had high arsenic concentration that exceeded WHO recommended limit for drinking
water. Very low concentrations of SO42− and NO3− and high concentrations of dissolved Fe and PO43− and NH4+ ions support the reducing condition of subsurface aquifer. Arsenic concentrations demonstrate negative co-relation with the
concentrations of SO42− and NO3− but correlate weakly with Mo, Fe concentrations and positively with those of P, PO43− and NH4+ ions. 相似文献

Seasonal variation of groundwater quality in a part of Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, India 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
N. Subba Rao 《Environmental Geology》2006,49(3):413-429
The area in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, India, is selected to discuss the impact of seasonal variation of groundwater
quality on irrigation and human health, where the agriculture is the main livelihood of rural people and the groundwater is
the main source for irrigation and drinking. Granite gneisses associated with schists and charnockites of the Precambrian
Eastern Ghats underlie the area. Groundwater samples collected seasonally, pre- and post-monsoons, during three years from
forty wells in the area were analyzed for pH, EC, TDS, TA, TH, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, CO32−, HCO3−, Cl−, SO42−, NO3−and F−. The chemical relationships in Piper’s diagram, Chebotarev’s genetic classification and Gibbs’s diagram suggest that the
groundwaters mainly belong to non-carbonate alkali type and Cl− group, and are controlled by evaporation-dominance, respectively, due to the influence of semi-arid climate, gentle slope,
sluggish drainage conditions, greater water–rock interaction, and anthropogenic activities. A comparison of the groundwater
quality in relation to drinking water quality standards proves that most of the water samples are not suitable for drinking,
especially in post-monsoon period. US Salinity Laboratory’s and Wilcox’s diagrams, and %Na+ used for evaluating the water quality for irrigation suggest that the majority of the groundwater samples are not good for
irrigation in post-monsoon compared to that in pre-monsoon. These conditions are caused due to leaching of salts from the
overlying materials by infiltrating recharge waters. A management plan is suggested for sustainable development of the area. 相似文献

This study was conducted to evaluate factors regulating groundwater quality in an area with agriculture as main use. Thirty
groundwater samples have been collected from Razan area (Hamadan, Iran) for hydrochemical investigations to understand the
sources of dissolved ions and assess the chemical quality of the groundwater. The chemical compositions of the groundwater
are dominated by Na+, Ca2+, HCO3
−, Cl− and SO4
2−, which have been derived largely from natural chemical weathering of carbonate, gypsum and anthropogenic activities of fertilizer’s
source. The production of SO4
2− has multiple origins, mainly from dissolution of sulphate minerals, oxidation of sulphide minerals and anthropogenic sources.
The major anthropogenic components in the groundwater include Na+, Cl−, SO4
2− and NO3
−, with Cl− and NO3
− being the main contributors to groundwater pollution in Razan area. 相似文献

Enrichment of fluoride in groundwater under the impact of saline water intrusion at the salt lake area of Yuncheng basin,northern China 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Long-term intake of high-fluoride groundwater causes endemic fluorosis. This study, for the first time, discovered that the
salt lake water intrusion into neighboring shallow aquifers might result in elevation of fluoride content of the groundwater.
Two cross-sections along the groundwater flow paths were selected to study the geochemical processes controlling fluoride
concentration in Yuncheng basin, northern China. There are two major reasons for the observed elevation of fluoride content:
one is the direct contribution of the saline water; the other is the undersaturation of the groundwater with respect to fluorite
due to salt water intrusion, which appears to be more important reason. The processes of the fluorine activity reduction and
the change of Na/Ca ratio in groundwater induced by the intrusion of saline water favor further dissolution of fluorine-bearing
mineral, and it was modeled using PHREEQC. With the increase in Na concentration (by adding NaCl or Na2SO4 as Na source, calcium content kept invariable), the increase of NaF concentration was rapid at first and then became slower;
and the concentrations of HF, HF2−, CaF+, and MgF+ were continuously decreasing. The geochemical conditions in the study area are advantageous to the complexation of F− with Na+ and the decline of saturation index of CaF2, regardless of the water type (Cl–Na or SO4–Na type water). 相似文献

The Markanda river basin occupying an area of about 1547 km2 is a part of the alluvial deposits of the Indo- Gangetic plain near the Himalayan foothills in the northwest India. The region
is associated with active agricultural activities and makes significant contribution to the country’s agricultural products.
Assessment of groundwater quality for irrigation use and hydrochemical evolution of groundwater has been studied. Hydrochemical
analysis has been carried out based on concentrations of Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cl−, SO4
2−, CO3
2− and HCO3
−. Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), percent sodium (%Na), permeability index (PI) and Trilinear diagram have been studied to
evaluate suitability of irrigation use. Hydrochemical evolution has been analyzed based on the Chebotarev sequence and expanded
Durov diagram. SAR, %Na and PI results indicate that the groundwater in the basin is suitable for irrigation use. Analysis
on Trilinear diagram reveals that hydrochemical facies are dominated by HCO3
−- Ca2+- Mg2+ facies indicating that the groundwater is associated with recharge waters percolating through sandstone and limestone rocks
which are exposed in the northern part of the basin. Studies based on Chebotarev anion sequence and expanded Durov diagram
indicate that the evolution of groundwater belongs to initial to intermediate stage indicating fresh water quality. Thus,
the present work reveals that groundwater in the Markanda basin is of good quality and is suitable for all uses including
interbasin water transfer in the region. 相似文献

This study presents the data on the hydrochemical characteristics and isotope chemistry of Liwa aquifer, which could be useful
to clarify the hydrochemical facies and hydrogeological regime in the study area. Electric conductivity and total dissolved
solid values show that the investigated water is slightly brackish, due to the effect of evaporation and the occurrences of
evaporite rocks in the adjacent Sabkhas of Abu Dhabi. Major cations and anions arranged according to their decreasing concentrations
are: Na+ > Ca+2 > K+ > Mg+2 and Cl− > HCO3
− > SO4−2, respectively. As sodium is the dominate cation and chloride is the prevailing anion, hydrochemically the groundwater of
Liwa can be classified as Na–Cl rich, predominantly chloridic. Ion concentrations increase towards the northeast and presumably
coincide with the lithological sources of ions. Factors affecting the hydrochemistry of the groundwater of the investigated
area include the effect of weathering of soil and rocks, evaporation and agricultural activities. Stable isotopes of oxygen
and hydrogen show that the shallow aquifers contain a single water type that originated in a distinct climatic regime. This
water type deviates from the local meteoric water line, as well as from the Eastern Mediterranean Meteoric Water Line, suggesting
potential evaporation of recharged water prior to infiltration. The waters are poor in tritium, and thus can be considered
generally as indication for recharge prior to 1952. The degradation of groundwater quality can be attributed to evaporation
and agricultural practices in most cases. 相似文献

Hydrochemical investigations were carried out in Damagh area, Hamadan, western Iran, to assess chemical composition of groundwater.
Forty representative groundwater samples were collected from different wells to monitor the water chemistry of various ions.
Chemical analysis of the groundwater showed that the mean concentration of the cations is in the order Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+, while that for anions was HCO3− > Cl− > SO42 − > NO3−. All of the investigated groundwaters present two different chemical facies (Ca–HCO3 and Na–HCO3) which is in relation with their interaction with the geological formations of the basin, cation exchange between groundwater
and clay minerals and anthropogenic activities. The principal component analysis (PCA) performed on groundwater identified
three principal components controlling their variability in groundwater. Electrical conductivity, Mg2+, Na+, SO42−, and Cl− content were associated in the same component (PC1) (salinity), determined principally by anthropogenic activities. The pH,
CO32 −, HCO3−, and Ca2+ (PC2) content were related to the geogenic factor. Finally, the NO3−, Cl− and K+ (PC3) were controlled by anthropogenic activity as a consequence of inorganic fertilizers. 相似文献

Hydrogeochemical investigations are carried out in the different blocks of Burdwan district, West Bengal, India in order to
assess its suitability for drinking as well as irrigation water purpose. Altogether 49 representative groundwater samples
are collected from bore wells and the water chemistry of various ions viz. Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, CO32−, HCO3−, Cl−, SO42− and NO3− are carried out. The chemical relationships in Piper and Gibbs diagram suggest that the groundwater mainly belongs to alkali
type and Cl− group and are controlled by rock dominance. A comparison of groundwater quality in relation to drinking water quality standards
proves that most of the water samples are suitable for drinking water purpose whereas groundwater in some areas of the district
has high salinity and high sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), indicating unsuitability for irrigation water and needs adequate
drainage. 相似文献

Groundwater depletion and quality deterioration due to environmental impacts in Maheshwaram watershed of R.R. district,AP (India) 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Maheshwaram watershed is situated in Ranga Reddy district of Andhra Pradesh at a distance of about 30 km south of Hyderabad,
capital of Andhra Pradesh. The watershed has an area of 60 km2 and has hard rock aquifers with semi-arid climate. The study area has been expanding at a fast pace and now has the distinction
of being one of the fastest growing urban centers facing the problem of groundwater depletion and quality deterioration due
to the absence of perennial source of surface water and also due to over exploitation. Human activities involving industrial
and agricultural development and the inadequate management of land and water resources have, directly or indirectly resulted
in the degradation of environment viz. water and soil. In the present study chemical analysis of groundwater samples of the
study area, collected during pre- and post-monsoon seasons of 2007–2008 has been carried out. The analyzed data are utilized
to characterize the hydro chemical process dominant in the area. Various classification methods such as Piper, Back and Hanshaw,
Wilcox, USA. Salinity Laboratory are employed to critically study the geochemical characteristics of groundwater of the study
area. Finally, principal component analysis (PCA) is also employed to the chemical variables of groundwater to characterize
the hydro chemical process that is dominant in the area. In the analysis four principal components emerged as significant
contributors to the groundwater quality. The total contribution of these four components is about 85–87%. The contribution
of the first component is about 49–50% and has significant positive loadings of Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and Cl− ions. The second, third, and fourth principal components have significant positive loadings of F−, NO3
−, SO4
2+, and HCO3
− ions. 相似文献
