Contamination of groundwater under cultivated fields

Contamination of groundwater under cultivated fields in an arid environment,central Arava Valley,IsraelO.Oren a,*,Y.Yechieli a,1,J.K.Bo¨hlke b,2,A.Dody c,3aGeological Survey of Israel,30Malchei Yisrael Str.,Jerusalem 95501,IsraelbUSGS,431National Center,Reston,VA 20192,USA cNRCN,POB.9001,Beer Sheva 84190,IsraelReceived 7May 2003;revised 5December 2003;accepted 10December 2003AbstractThe purpose of this study is to obtain a better understanding of groundwater contamination processes in an arid environment (precipitation of 50mm/year)due to cultivation.Additional aims were to study the fate of N,K,and other ions along the whole hydrological system including the soil and vadose zone,and to compare groundwater in its natural state with contaminated groundwater (through the drilling of several wells).A combination of physical,chemical,and isotopic analyses was used to describe the hydrogeological system and the recharge trends of water and salts to the aquifers.The results indicate that intensive irrigation and fertilization substantially affected the quantity and quality of groundwater recharge.Low irrigation efficiency of about 50%contributes approximately 3.5–4million m 3/year to the hydrological system,which corresponds to 0.65m per year of recharge in the irrigated area,by far the most significant recharge mechanism.Two main contamination processes were identified,both linked to human activity:(1)salinization due to circulation of dissolved salts in the irrigation water itself,mainly chloride,sulfate,sodium and calcium,and (2)direct input of nitrate and potassium mainly from fertilizers.The nitrate concentrations in a local shallow groundwater lens range between 100and 300mg/l and in the upper sub-aquifer are over 50mg/l.A major source of nitrate is fertilizer N in the excess irrigation water.The isotopic compositions of d 15N–NO 3(range of 4.9–14.8‰)imply also possible contributions from nearby sewage ponds and/or manure.Other evidence of contamination of the local groundwater lens includes high concentrations of K (20–120mg/l)and total organic carbon (about 10mg/l).q 2004Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.Keywords:Groundwater;Arid environment;Nitrate;N isotope;Contamination;Agriculture1.IntroductionGroundwater is a significant or sole source of waterin arid areas.Contamination of groundwater due to agricultural activities could therefore severely endan-ger survival in these harsh environments.This contamination is usually expressed in increasing salinity and nitrateconcentrations.*Corresponding author.Tel./fax:þ972-2-5380688.E-mail addresses:orly.oren@.il (O.Oren),yechieli@.il (Y.Yechieli),jkbohlke@ (J.K.Bo¨hlke),dodik@bgumail.bgu.ac.il (A.Dody).The quantities and qualities of the recharge water substantially influence the pumping potential from the aquifers in arid environments.The natural source is limited to infiltration duringfloods,which are characterized by low frequency and irregularity (Simmers,1997).The anthropogenic sources may be excess of irrigation water and leakage from sewage ponds.Agriculture has had profound effects on the rates and compositions of groundwater recharge (Albus and Knighton,1998;Rodvang and Simpkins, 2001;Bo¨hlke,2002).The effects of irrigation and fertilization in arid zones could be:(1)salinization of the soil and groundwater below thefields(Stigter et al.,1998) and(2)increase of nitrate concentrations in ground-water(Singh et al.,1995;Oenema et al.,1998; Allaire-Leung et al.,2001).Irrigation in arid zones causes an increase of the salt concentrations in the root zone due to high evapotranspiration.In order to minimize soil salinization,excess amounts of water are required,much beyond that needed by the crops (Rhoads and Loveday,1990).The excess water causes the leaching of the salts to the groundwater.Hence,the presence of agricultural activities introduces a long-term risk of groundwater pollution by excess fertili-zers,salts and pesticides leached downward(Hadas et al.,1999).The fertilization efficiency(the fraction of applied N that is taken up by plants)in the study area was estimated to be about50%(Bar-Yosef et al., 1982).The average annual amount of applied N in the study area is55g/m2.Converting half of this amount to nitrate yields a potential annual nitrate load in recharging groundwater of approximately120g/m2.Agricultural activities,especially cultivation and fertilization,are principal causes of nitrate contami-nation on a regional scale(Hudak,2000;Nolan, 2001).Nitrate is very mobile in groundwater and tends not to adsorb or precipitate on aquifer solids (Hem,1985).High concentrations of nitrate constitute a health hazard and the American standard for drinking water is45mg/l NO3(EPA,1996).Agricultural application of K and P as plant nutrients commonly has less of a signature in groundwater(Bo¨hlke,2002).The fate of K is determined in part by ion exchange and sorption by clays hence K enrichment in groundwater is sporadic. P is sorbed strongly onto solid phases,hence no high values occur in groundwater.The purpose of this study is to obtain a better understanding of contamination processes of ground-water related to agriculture activity in an extremely arid environment.The word‘contamination’as used by Freeze and Cherry(1979)implies that human activities have increased the concentration of a constituent,though not necessarily harmful.Additional aims were to study the fate of N,K,and other ions along the whole hydrological system including the soil and vadose zone,to compare groundwater in its natural state with contaminated groundwater(through the drilling of several wells),among others,and to demonstrate the use of the15N isotope in nitrate.A combination of physical,chemical and isotopic analyses was used to explain the hydrological system and the trends of water and salt recharge.2.Study areaThe central Arava Valley is located in the southern part of Israel(Fig.1).The valley is drained to the north by Wadi Arava,which drains wadis from the east(Edom Mountains)and the west(Negev moun-tains)toward the Dead Sea.The area is characterized by desert climate.The average yearly precipitation is50mm and the potential evaporation exceeds3000mm.The average yearly temperature is258C.In the area there are several rural settlements with cultivatedfields totaling18km2.Groundwater is the only source of water for the settlements.Since the 1960s agriculture developed above the formations of the upper aquifers,which contained in the past fresh water of good quality.Eighty percent of the irrigation and drinking water is drawn from the upper aquifers of the Hazeva and Arava formations and the other20%is drawn from deep aquifers,mainly from the Lower Cretaceous sandstones of the Kurnub Group(Yechieli et al.,1992;Naor and Granit,2000).The water from different wells mix before they reach thefields.Over the years,increases in the salt concentrations,and especially nitrate were observed in the groundwater (Naor and Granit,2000).The research focused on thefields around the En Yahav settlement as a representative case.This settlement was thefirst(founded in1967)and is the biggest,with a cultivated area of5.6km2.It was,O.Oren et al./Journal of Hydrology290(2004)312–328313O.Oren et al./Journal of Hydrology290(2004)312–328314Fig.1.Location map of the study area in the central Arava Valley.Coordinate in ITM grid.therefore,expected that contamination processes would be most notable there.3.The hydrologic systemThe upper aquifers include the Neogene Hazeva and the Plio-Pleistocene Arava formations.The Hazeva formation consists mainly of alternating clay and sand beds forming sub-aquifers of limited areal extension due to frequent lateral lithological changes.It is overlain by the Plio-Pleistocene Arava fill aquifer consists of coarse clastic alluvial zones (Yechieli et al.,1992).Fig.2shows the typical field relations inthe area.The general direction of groundwater flow is NNE,toward the Dead Sea.The aquifer in the study area is divided by clay layers into two main sub-aquifers (Fig.3).The lower one is confined whereas the upper is a semi-confined aquifer.The hydraulic head of the upper sub-aquifer is about 2–10m higher than that of the lower one.Near the surface,at a depth of 2–5m there is a shallow groundwater lens that forms a perched aquifer (Fig.3)extending over an area of at least 2.5km 2.The hydraulic head of the perched aquifer is at least 2m higher than that of the upper sub-aquifer.The groundwater level measurements indicate that the flow direction of all three aquifer units is to the NNE.4.Agricultural activityThe cultivation of the fields in the Arava Valley began in the late 1960s,and the area has evolved into an advanced technological center of agriculture.Agriculture is based on intensive irrigation and fertilization to improve the soils.In recent years most of the fields have been covered with green-houses.The crops include mainly seasonal crops such as vegetables and flowers but also palmplantationsFig.2.Generalized stratigraphic column with indication of the main investigatedaquifer.Fig.3.Schematic geohydrological cross-section in the study area.O.Oren et al./Journal of Hydrology 290(2004)312–328315and vineyards.The growing season extends generally 10months a year.The irrigation regime begins with washing the soils by sprinklers with50m3of water per1000m2of land, equivalent to50mm/year.After that,the irrigation is accomplished by dripping.The entire amount of irrigation water ranges between1000and1500m3per 1000m2/year(1000–1500mm/year)depending on the crop type.The total amount of irrigation water is 7.5–8million m3/year.The fertilizers comprise three major nutrients: nitrogen,phosphorus,and potassium.The amounts applied average around50–60g N,5–6g P and40g K per m2/year,respectively.Moreover,at the beginning of the season,the farmers fertilize the fields with cattle manure,which adds about20g N, 10g P and20g K per m2.5.Methodology5.1.Unsaturated zoneSoil profiles were sampled to a depth of2–3m in cultivatedfields,in theflood channel of Wadi Arava, and in undisturbed natural soils.The samples were collected at intervals of20cm.Salts were extracted from the soil samples by drying the soil at1058C,sifting it with a2mm sieve to remove the large fractions,dividing the sample randomly by splitter,dissolving the salts with distilled water by shaking for4h(approx,water/soil ratio¼10,by weight),andfiltering the solution before the chemical analysis.The concentrations represent both the dissolved salts in1kg soil and the salts in the soil water.Irrigation water(in text ‘irrigation’)and irrigation water to which fertilizer has been added(in text‘irrigationþfertilizer’)were sampled in the cultivatedfields and analyzed.Ceramic cups were used to sample the water in and below the root zone of cultivatedfields.The sampler is a cylindrical ceramic chamber,6cm long with an external diameter of2cm and inner diameter of1.7cm;it has a maximum pore size of2–3m m. The ceramic cup is attached to a PVC pipe and the opposite end is sealed with a one-hole stopper with tubing and clamp so that air can be evacuated from the sampler.The buried porous cup collects a sample of soil water when the vacuum in the sampler exceeds the adjacent soil moisture tension(Hansen and Harris,1975).Nine samplers were inserted in the soil in three different greenhouses,and in each one,at different soil depths—20,40–60,80–120cm.Samples were collected every few days during the agriculture season.5.2.Saturated zoneEighteen shallow boreholes(2.5–5m depth)were drilled to the local groundwater lens between June and August2001(Fig.1).Anotherfive deeper boreholes were drilled in June2002to the local lens and to the upper sub-aquifer,at the center of the lens and at an upgradient location south of thefields (Arava22well).Groundwater was also sampled from pumping wells located at three sites near thefields(Fig.1);at every site there were two wells,one extracting from the upper sub-aquifer and the other from the lower sub-aquifer.The‘unpolluted wells’are wells that extract water from the same regional aquifer,some kilometers from the agricultural area and have low salt concentrations,similar to the natural composition before the settlement was built.Throughout the year(June2001–August2002)all the observation and pumping wells in the study area were sampled several times,and temperature and electrical conductivity were measured.Water levels in the shallow observation boreholes were measured regularly every2–3weeks.5.3.Chemical and isotopic analysesThe chemical analyses and d18O analyses in water were conducted at the Geological Survey of Israel. Major cations were analyzed on a Perkin Elmer Optima3300ICP AES.Anion concentrations were measured using a Dionex Series4000I Gradient Ion Chromatography and HPLC.Only analyses with charge balance,3%were used in this study.Oxygen isotope analyses of water were done by the VG SIRA II IRMS mass spectrometer with an analytical error of0.1‰.Tritium concentrations were determined at the Weizmann Institute following enrichment usingO.Oren et al./Journal of Hydrology290(2004)312–328 316an electrolysis system,by a low-level counting system,LKB1220Quantulus scintillation counter (Bowman and Hughes,1981).Tritium concentrations are expressed in Tritium Units(TU)with an analytical error of^0.2TU.Isotopic analyses of nitrogen(d15N)in nitrate were done at the USGS laboratory in Reston,Virginia. Nitrate samples and standards were prepared by freeze-drying and off-line combustion techniques for mass spectrometry,and the data were normalized to values ofþ0.4‰for IAEA-N1andþ180‰for USGS-32(Bo¨hlke and Denver,1995;Bo¨hlke and Coplen,1995;Bo¨hlke et al.,2002),with average reproducibility of^0.1to0.2.Analyses of total organic carbon(TOC)were done at the laboratory of the Israeli Ministry of Health.The analysis is based on the combustion-infrared method (Eaton et al.,1995),performed by the TOC analyzer, 5000A,Shimadzu.The precision of the method limits is5–10%.6.ResultsThe chloride,sulfate,and nitrate content in the soil profiles of natural soil,cultivatedfields,and Wadi Arava(profiles A,C,D,respectively,Fig.1)are presented in Fig.4.The ionic concentrations are expressed in g/kg-dried soil.The ion concentrations in the natural soil are two orders of magnitude higher than the concentrations in the cultivatedfields and Wadi Arava.The chloride and sulfate concentrations in the natural soil are around10g/kg while in the other profiles the chloride concentrations are below0.1g/kg and the sulfate concentrations are around 0.1g/kg.The nitrate concentration in the natural soil is about1g/kg while in the cultivatedfields and Wadi Arava it is around0.01g/kg.Some of the excavations in the cultivatedfields had water of the shallow lens at a depth of2–3m and their profiles were quite wet.The water table depth of the shallow lens rises by about30–40cm during the irrigation season,from September to March(Fig.5)and then drops again till August.Chemical and isotopic analyses of selected samples of irrigation water,irrigationþfertilizer water,soil water in and below the root zone(ceramic cups),and groundwater from the three sub-aquifers are presented in Table1.When plotting concen-trations of several ions versus Cl,the groundwater samples show a mixing line between groundwater from the local lens,which is highly contaminated,and groundwater from the lower sub-aquifer,which is mainly uncontaminated(Fig.6).The upper sub-aquifer is less contaminated and has intermediate values.In the upper sub-aquifer the salt concen-trations in the upgradient wells are lower than those of the downgradient wells(Table1).The Cl,SO4and other ionic concentration values of the water from the ceramic cups are in the same range as the local lens values.The irrigationþfertilizer water have the same concentrations of Cl,SO4,Mg,Na,Ca as theirrigation Fig.4.Ions profiles(Cl,SO4and NO3)in the unsaturated zone of the study area:in undisturbed natural soil(A),a cultivatedfield(C)and in Wadi Arava(D)(locations in Fig.1).O.Oren et al./Journal of Hydrology290(2004)312–328317water but much higher concentrations of NO 3and K (Figs.6and 7,Table 1).The nitrate and chloride concentrations over a period of about 13years in three boreholes located at the southern side of the fields are presented in Fig.8.In the lower sub-aquifer (Marzeva 9),the nitrate and chloride concentrations are low and have been constant over the years.The nitrate concentrations are lower than 10mg/l and the chloride concentrations are about 250mg/l.In contrast,in Marzeva 10and 4,which extract water from the upper sub-aquifer,concentrations are higher and have increased for nitrate over the years,mainly since 1999.The chloride concentrations in Marzeva 4have also increased (corresponding with the nitrate increase)but in Marzeva 10,variations of the chloride concentrations were found.Fig.9presents the nitrate concentration ranges in the three aquifer units and in the ceramic cups.The nitrate values of the ceramic cups have the largest range,between 150and 700mg/l,depending on the fertilization efficiency and the variability in the soil.The nitrate concentrations in the local lens,between 100and 300mg/l,far exceed the standard for drinking water.The range in the lower sub-aquifer,between 5and 35mg/l,reveal the presence of nitrate at deeper groundwater levels.The potassium concentrations in the three aquifer units and in the ceramic cups are presented in Fig.10.There is a large variability of the potassium concentration in the ceramic cups and in the lens close to the surface.Another component with relatively high concen-trations in the local lens is the TOC.The TOC values in the groundwater in the local lens are around 10ppm while in the unpolluted wells they are about 0.4ppm (Table 1).Water in one of the boreholes to the local lens (Arava 16)has a value of about 200ppm,which probably represents a local source of organic matter.It also has exceptionally high concentrations of salts,TDS around 30,000mg/l,therefore it is not rep-resented as a sample of the local lens in Figs.6–7,9,and 10.The TOC value in the upper sub-aquifer is little higher than in the unpolluted wells;values of 0.6–0.8compared to 0.4ppm.The isotopic values of d 18O of the groundwater ranged between 24.3and 25.2‰(Table 1),similar to values found in former works,e.g.Gat and Galai (1982).The isotopic composition of nitrogen in nitrate was also measured in some of the samples (Table 1).The unpolluted wells,with low concentration of nitrate (below 10mg/l),have d 15N values of 6.7and 7.0‰.Nitrate leached from the virgin natural soilhasFig.5.Variation in water levels in selected boreholes of the shallow lens.Values of the water table are relative to the first measurement.O.Oren et al./Journal of Hydrology 290(2004)312–328318somewhat higher d 15N values of 9.5and 12.0‰.This overall range of values (,7–12‰)is considered most likely to represent natural nitrate derived fromsoil organic matter (Densmore and Bo¨hlke,2000).In contrast,the fertilizer nitrates have d 15N values close to zero (0.9and 2.7‰)and nitrate in the drainage water from the root zone (ceramic cups,20–40cm depth)has an isotopic composition similar to that of the fertilizers used above (Table 1).The polluted boreholes have a wide range of d 15N values,between 4.9and 14.8‰.The boreholes upgradient from the sewage ponds (Fig.1)have lower values (4.9–6.2‰)than the natural nitrate,while the downgradient boreholes have d 15N values in the range of 5.5–14.8‰,some of which are higher than the values in unpolluted wells.There is no clear relation between d 15N values and either nitrate or chloride concentrations (Fig.11).7.DiscussionThe results of this study indicate that intensive irrigation in an arid environment significantly affects the groundwater recharge.Low irrigation efficiency contributes large additions of water to the hydro-logical system.The recharge coefficient of the irrigation water was estimated from the salt concen-tration factor.This was calculated by dividing the ion concentration in the local groundwater lens by the ion concentration in the irrigation water.The calculation was made only for ions that are considered con-servative and not uptaken by plants.Almost the same factor,of about 2.2,was found for Cl,Na,Mg and Sr,indicating that 55%of the water is lost by evapo-transpiration and the rest 45%infiltrates towards the groundwater.This means that from the 7.5–8million m 3of irrigation water per year,about 3.6million m 3infiltrates every year.Within the irrigated area,this is equivalent to about 0.65m per unit area.The infiltrating water from the fields is expected to raise the water table level.Indeed,there is a rise in the water table of the local lens of about 30–40cm from September to March (Fig.5).Although,this rise is much smaller than the expected value, 1.3m in September–March (calculation was done by dividing the excess irrigation water by porosity),it can be explained by down flow of 70%of the rechargeT a b l e 1(c o n t i n u e d )N a m eD e s c r i p t i o nD a t eN a

several water types(aquifers).amount towards the upper sub-aquifer.The water level drop from April to August can be explained by decrease of the irrigation amounts and increase of the evapotranspiration rate.The water level decrease means that the recharge rate is less than the downward flow rate from the local lens to the upper sub-aquifer.The dependence of the water table on irrigation activity indicates that this is the main recharge source to the local lens.The natural recharge from floods depends on the rainfall in the whole basin each year.However,it is difficult to estimate how much water reaches the water table from this source.The natural recharge seems negligible in comparison to the recharge from irrigation,at least in the period from September 2001to November 2002.In that period only two flash floods crossed the study area in Wadi Arava for about 24–36h,above and along-side the shallow boreholes.According to the small decrease in groundwater temperature and to the temporary water level rise below the stream in the second flow,it seems that waters from the floods reached the water table,but their contribution,relative to the recharge from irrigation,was insignificant.Recharge from excess irrigation water was also found to be most significant in Sacramento Valley,California (80%of the recent recharge,Criss and Davisson,1996).Fig.8.Nitrate and chloride concentrations in the years 1987–2002in three wells:Marzeva 10and 4,upper sub-aquifer;Marzeva 9,lowersub-aquifer.Fig.9.Nitrate concentration ranges and

concentrations of the soils cannot be expressed in mg/l so they are out of the scale.Line A represents a hypothetical mixture between natural groundwater and excess “irrigation þfertilizer”water,and line B represents a hypothetical mixture between natural groundwater and sewage or manure source.O.Oren et al./Journal of Hydrology 290(2004)312–328323The tritium concentrations also confirm that the main recharge comes from irrigation water,whose source is regional groundwater,and not from the floods.This is indicated by low tritium concentration in the shallow groundwater in the studied area(e.g.0.5–1.3TU in the local lens),which is similar to the values in the regional aquifers(Yechieli et al.,1997) but different from those in modernflood waters (4.1–6TU,Yechieli et al.,2001).Unlike the tritium,the stable isotopic composition of the water does not help to distinguish between the recharge sources.According to Yechieli et al.(2001) the d18O values of the rains in the Arava Valley ranges between22.8and27.5‰(average of 24.9‰)and those of thefloods,between25.1and 26.6‰.These values are close to the values of the irrigation and ceramic cups waters that were measured in this work(25.3to25.9‰).Therefore,the different sources cannot be distinguished by the d18O composition.The somewhat higher d18O values of the local lens (24.3to4.9‰)related to the recharge sources may indicate some evaporation during infiltration in the unsaturated zone.The correlation between d18O values and Cl,SO4and NO3concentrations(Oren, 2003)may indicate recharge of evaporative irrigation water,such as found in the Sacramento Valley by Davisson and Criss(1993).In the cultivatedfields and Wadi Arava there is a flushing process,indicated by the low salt concen-trations in the soil profiles,while in the undisturbed natural soil there is a salt accumulation process (Fig.4).Displacement of the salt below2–2.5m in the cultivatedfields proves that the water infiltrates below this level towards the water table.Under a significant part of thefields,the shallow water table of the local lens is located2–5m below the surface; hence the salts reach the groundwater rapidly.It is, therefore,reasonable to maintain that irrigation water recharges the groundwater.The presence of salts, including gypsum and halite near the surface in the undisturbed natural soil,is typical in arid regions, whereflushing by rain is negligible.The effect of salinization in the Arava Valley due to recharge by excess irrigation water was previously reported in several preliminary works(Naor and Granit,1991,2000).The results of the present study indicate that intensive irrigation and fertilization significantly affect the groundwater quality by two main contamination processes:(1)salinization due to circulation of salts dissolved in the irrigation water itself,mainly chloride,sulfate,sodium and calcium, and(2)direct input of nitrate and potassium from fertilizers and sewage ponds.The behavior of the main ions in the irrigation water(e.g.chloride,sulfate,magnesium,sodium and calcium)is conservative,while the fertilizer ions (nitrate and potassium)concentrations are reduced because they are uptaken by plants.Whereas the salt concentration factor due to evapotranspiration of the ‘irrigationþfertilizers’water is about 2.2,the nitrate and potassium concentration factors are less than1(0.7and0.5,respectively).This difference is consistent with selective uptake of nitrate and potassium by plants and also potassium sorption by clays.One of the most important problems related to irrigation in arid zones,where groundwater tends to be brackish or saline,is the recycling of salts.Salts in groundwater that is used for irrigation penetrate to the aquifer system again after evapotranspiration with higher concentration.The major salts are not taken up substantially by plants and therefore eventually reach the water table.It is possible to estimate the salt mass addition by multiplying the chloride concentration in the irrigation water(370mg/l)and the irrigation water volume(about1.4m3/m2),yielding about520g/m2of chloride per year.A similar calculation yields an addition of280g/m2sodium,740g/m2sulfate and 280g/m2calcium per year.The same process of salt circulation was found in a semi-arid area in Portugal, where the excess evaporative irrigation water caused chloride concentration increase,ion exchange and calcite precipitation(Stigter et al.,1998).These hydrochemical processes and possibly also dissol-ution might occur in the case herein too,but are not very significantThe inverse relation between the depth of the aquifer units and the ion concentrations indicates that the contamination comes from the surface.This conclusion can be shown from the linear mixing lines between the major ions in the sub-aquifers(Fig.6). The lower sub-aquifer is interpreted to represent mainly natural water fromfloods,whereas in the groundwater closer to surface,the contaminant component is higher.O.Oren et al./Journal of Hydrology290(2004)312–328 324。

等潜水位线数值的意思

等潜水位线数值的意思

等潜水位线数值的意思英文回答:The term "equilibrium water table" refers to the level at which the underground water pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure. It is the imaginary line that represents the height to which water would rise in a well if it were drilled into the ground. The equilibrium water table is influenced by factors such as rainfall, groundwater recharge, and the geology of the area.The numerical value of the equilibrium water table represents the depth at which the water level is found below the ground surface. This value is typically measured in units of length, such as meters or feet. It is an important parameter in hydrogeology and groundwater management, as it helps determine the availability and sustainability of groundwater resources.Understanding the numerical value of the equilibriumwater table is crucial for various purposes. For example, it helps in determining the depth at which wells should be drilled to access groundwater. It also aids in assessing the potential for groundwater contamination and designing appropriate remediation strategies. Additionally, knowledge of the equilibrium water table is essential for understanding the movement of groundwater and its interaction with surface water bodies.中文回答:"等潜水位线数值"是指地下水压力与大气压力相等的水平线。

groundwater for sustainable development

groundwater for sustainable development

groundwater for sustainabledevelopmentIntroduction Groundwater is a vital source of water in many regions of the world, and its importance to the sustainability of development cannot be overstated. Groundwater is often the only source of drinking water for rural populations, and its availability is essential for food production and economic growth. As such, sustainable groundwater management is an important component of sustainable development.What is Groundwater? Groundwater is the water that exists below the ground surface in aquifers, or underground storage reservoirs. It is formed when precipitation infiltrates the soil and is stored in the pores and fractures of subsurface rocks and sediment. This water can remain stored in the ground for centuries, and it provides areliable source of water for many communities,especially in arid and semi-arid climates where surface water is scarce.Importance of Groundwater for Sustainable Development Groundwater is a critical resource for sustainable development. It provides a reliable source of water for basic needs like drinking, cooking, and sanitation, as well as foragricultural and industrial activities. In addition, groundwater is often used to supplement surface water supplies during times of drought or when surface water sources are polluted or depleted.Groundwater is also an important source of energy, as it can be used to generate electricity through geothermal power plants. Furthermore, groundwater helps to maintain stream flow and water quality, which is essential for aquatic ecosystems, recreation, and other activities.Challenges to Groundwater Sustainability Groundwater resources face a number of challenges that threaten their sustainability. These include population growth, urbanization, industrialization,climate change, pollution, and overexploitation. In particular, overexploitation of groundwater has become a major issue in many parts of the world. This is due to the fact that it is often easier and cheaper to extract large quantities of groundwater than to develop alternative sources of water. This has led to the depletion of aquifers and has put many communities at risk of water scarcity.Solutions to Improve Groundwater Sustainability Fortunately, there are a number of solutions that can be implemented to improve groundwater sustainability. These include improving water use efficiency, developing alternative sources of water, increasing public awareness, implementing regulations, and improving infrastructure. Additionally, watershed management strategies, such as recharge projects and artificial aquifer recharge, can help to replenish groundwater resources.Conclusion In conclusion, groundwater is avital resource for sustainable development. Its importance to the sustainability of developmentcannot be overstated. However, groundwater resources face a number of challenges that threaten their sustainability. Fortunately, there are a number of solutions that can be implemented to improve groundwater sustainability and ensure its availability for future generations.。

地下水循环井技术工艺流程

地下水循环井技术工艺流程Groundwater recharge wells, also known as groundwater replenishment wells, are an important technique used to augment and maintain groundwater levels. Through the process of injecting surplus water into the ground, these wells help replenish aquifers and ensure a sustainable supply of groundwater for various purposes. Often used in areas facing water scarcity or depletion, groundwater recharge wells play a crucial role in managing water resources and preventing overexploitation of groundwater reserves.地下水循环井,又称地下水补给井,是一种重要的技术,用于增加和维持地下水位。

通过将多余的水注入地下,这些井有助于补充含水层,确保各种用途的可持续地下水供应。

地下水循环井通常用于面临水资源匮乏或枯竭的地区,对于管理水资源、防止过度开采地下水储备发挥着至关重要的作用。

The process of groundwater recharge through wells involves various components and stages. Firstly, surplus water from sources such as stormwater runoff, treated wastewater, or excess surface water is collected and treated to remove impurities and contaminants. Next, the treated water is injected into the ground through recharge wells,where it percolates through the soil and replenishes the aquifers below. Monitoring and evaluation of groundwater levels, water quality, and recharge rates are essential to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the recharge process.通过井进行地下水充实的过程涉及各种组件和阶段。

China Environmental Science, 2021,41(2):713~719Abstract:This paper uses U-D factorization Kalman filtering and a nonlinear programming optimization model to identify the number, location, and release intensity of groundwater pollution sources. Based on a hypothetical example, a numerical simulation model of groundwater contamination was established, and the parameters having large influences on the model were selected as random variables in the model by using sensitivity analysis. Then, Kalman filtering based on U-D factorization was used to identify the number and location of pollution sources. On the basis of these processes, an optimization model for identifying the release intensity of contamination sources was established, and a Kriging interpolation method was used to establish an Surrogate model for the numerical simulation model of groundwater pollution transport, as an alternative of the simulation model, which was embedded in the optimization model as a constraint condition, and the genetic algorithm was applied to solve the optimization model. Finally, the source strength of groundwater pollution was identified. The results show that the Kalman filter method based on U-D factorization could ensure the stability of the filter and effectively identify the number and location of pollution sources; the nonlinear programming optimization model could identify the release intensity of pollution sources. In the process of solving the optimization model, a substitute model of the simulation model embedded the optimization model was built with the Kriging method, which could greatly reduce the calculation load and time under the condition of a certain accuracy.Key words:groundwater;contamination source identification;Kalman filter with UD factorization;Surrogate model;genetic algorithm地下水作为人类生存与社会发展必要的自然资源,近年来遭受的污染问题愈发严重.地下水污染难以监测,不易治理.地下水污染溯源识别是地下水污染修复与治理过程中的重要一环,能提供污染源空间分布、污染物释放历史等信息,为其治理提供参考依据.卡尔曼滤波是求解地下水污染反问题的一种有效方法[1].卡尔曼滤波作为一种最优状态估计方法,可以应用于受随机干扰的动态系统[2-3].

地下水渗流偏微分方程

地下水渗流偏微分方程

地下水渗流偏微分方程英文回答:Groundwater flow is a complex process that can be described by partial differential equations (PDEs). These PDEs are used to model the movement of water through porous media underground. One commonly used PDE for groundwater flow is the groundwater flow equation, also known asDarcy's law.Darcy's law states that the rate of groundwater flow is proportional to the hydraulic gradient, which is the change in hydraulic head per unit distance. Mathematically, it can be written as:Q = -K A (dh/dl)。

where Q is the discharge rate of groundwater flow, K is the hydraulic conductivity of the porous medium, A is the cross-sectional area through which the groundwater flows,dh/dl is the change in hydraulic head per unit distance.This equation can be used to solve for the groundwater flow in a given system. For example, let's consider a scenario where we have a groundwater well that is pumping water out of an aquifer. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 10 m/day, and the cross-sectional area of the well is 1 m^2. If the hydraulic head at the well is 10 m higher than the hydraulic head at a distance of 100 m away, we can use Darcy's law to calculate the discharge rate of groundwater flow:Q = -10 1 (10/100) = -1 m^3/day.This means that the well is pumping out 1 cubic meter of groundwater per day.Another commonly used PDE for groundwater flow is the groundwater flow equation in transient conditions, which takes into account the change in hydraulic head over time. This equation can be written as:∂h/∂t = S ∇^2h + Q.where ∂h/∂t is the rate of change of hydraulic head with respect to time, S is the specific storage of the aquifer, ∇^2h is the Laplacian operator of the hydraulic head, and Q is the source/sink term.This equation is used to model the transient behaviorof groundwater flow, such as the response of an aquifer to pumping or recharge events. By solving this equation, wecan predict how the hydraulic head will change over time in a given system.For example, let's consider a scenario where we have a recharge event in an aquifer. The specific storage of the aquifer is 0.001 m^(-1), and the recharge rate is 0.1 m/day. If we want to determine how the hydraulic head will change over time, we can solve the groundwater flow equation in transient conditions:∂h/∂t = 0.001 ∇^2h + 0.1。

7.5,Eh=+100mV(现场实测)为条件,利用表1的平均水化学组成计算有关矿物的饱和指数见表2. 按以上数据,水中cE,M,Fe的碳酸盐和(0lH)处于过饱和态.由于泰康组地下水埋藏条件好,在水平方向和垂直方向上的水交替是很缓慢的,地下水与含水层物质问有着充分的接触,因而其所呈现的pH,Eh等主要的水化学参数在含水层中应该具有比较好的稳定性.水中ca2,M,FJ,Fle3应与相应的固相处于平衡状态故上述计算得出的过饱和数据表明所测pH,Eh可能与实测情况不符.FeS的高度不饱和则是由于上述Eh值过高, 还原态S不能在水中存在的缘故,这又与水中存在前述的s气味相矛盾,以上分析表明,泰康组地下水的实际pn,Eh,p(DO)等环境参数与地表测试结果所反映的情况相差很大.由于采样手段的落后.气体(c,H2S等)的逸出氧气的渗人难以避免,从而使pH,,p(DO)和p(Fe3一)\p(F)的分析结果都有偏高的可能.为揭示地下水所处的真实水文地球化学环境,对上述参数有必要进行尽可能的修正3抽水过程中地下水水质参数变化的水化学模拟地下水从含水层抽出至地表的过程是一个从具有较高压力,对大气封闭的还原环境进人地表常压的氧化环境的过程在抽水前后,地下水静,动水位之羞可视为井底压力的相对变化1]J.齐家水源地泰康组抽水时,其静,动水位之差平均为5.46m,即井底过滤器附近的压力比井漏斗区外的地层水压力低约053×10Pa.在水从井底抽运至地表的过程中,所受压力则更是大幅度急剧降低(从约2O×10Pa 降为1×105Pa).这就使水中溶解的cOe,UzS等气体从漏斗区边缘开始不断逸出.Clark曾报道某些深井中在过滤器部位及其上方出现气体从水中分离的现象因而在井口取样,即使进行及时而严格的现场测试,也难以保证Eh,pit测试结果的足够准确.上述导致Eh,pH测试结果失真的原因,提示我们可以运用水化学模拟手段反演抽水过程中Eh,pH的变化情况,进而恢复地下水的真实环境思路是:向失真的水样中逐渐"加入"C和s气体,直至模拟出接近真实的地下水环境那么,真实的地下水环境应如何确定?现场调查取样分析表明,在井底沉砂管内有大量化学沉淀物,主要物相为硫化铁(Fes),菱铁矿(FeCfh)和方解石(C~Cfh)据此.可以把过滤器附近的地下水界定为与上述物相处于相对过饱和状态,而含水层中地下水则与上述物相不饱和或至多接近饱和(含水层中未发现上述矿物).本文运用了PHREEQC水文地球化学模拟软件_3对表1中的水化学成分以pH=75,Eh=100mV为初始条件进行了模拟第2期贾崮东等:地下水水质参数在抽水过程中的不稳定性丑其水化学模拟——大庆市齐家水源地为例203表3抽水过程中地下水pH,E变化的水化学模拟结果Fable3HydmehemicalcaoddingresultsofgroundwaterpHEhva]uesduringpumping*摩尔浓度,单位10mol,L模拟表明,只有o32的逸出可导致CaCO3,Fe('O3的饱和沉淀,但FeS的高度不饱和状态却变化甚微;只有s的逸出可导致FeS饱和沉淀,但对CaO3~,FeCOs的饱和指数影响甚微.可见,只有cch逸出或只有s逸出都不符合实际情况.将toe和s同时加入水中来模拟二者同时逸出的情况.为此,需选择好CO2和H2s加入的比例,以便能使CaCO3,FeCO~,FeS能在一定的pH,Eh范围同时处于从不饱和向饱和转变的状态(只有这样才符合上述3种物相在沉砂管共同存在的实际情况),经多次调整,得到较为理想的结果,见表3.由表3可以看出,井底过滤器处地下水的环境条件大约为:6.9<pH<7.2,一185mV<Eh<一167mV,此时c~coa,FeO3a和FeS同时趋于饱和和过饱和,有从水中沉淀析出的趋势而含水层中地下水可能处于pH<6.7,Eh≈140~一150mV条件下,此时,CaC03不饱和,FeCO3和FeS不饱和或接近饱和.于是地下水从含水层进入过滤器附近后随着CO2,IJ2S的逸出将会产生上述3种矿物的饱和沉淀.地下水从井底到地表的过程中,CaC03, FeO3a一直是过饱和,FeS则由于s的逸出又变得不饱和,而在地表则将会出现Fe(0lH)3沉淀图1为齐家水源地泰康组含水层铁的Eh—pH稳定场图,该图据EFe,HCA和sOj的活度值绘pH图l泰康组地下水中铁的EhpH稳定场FL臣lEhpHgraphofironinTaikanggroundwaterp(Fe065mg/L,P(H(x)i)=511)mg/L()=213mg/L其中(()卜1)1为非晶志制.代表含水层(pH=6.5,Eh=140mV),过滤器(pH=7.05,Eh=一175mV)和地表实测(pH=7.5,Eh=+100mV)环境的点分别投于其上可以看出,地下水从含水层进^沉砂管后FeCOs,FeS发生共沉淀的趋势很明显,而在地表将检测到高含量的三价铁(图中以Fe代替FeS,因FeS相对于FeS)是亚稳态的).4讨论对于地下水的采样测试,大家已经公认,水质的某些参数必须在水样从井口运走之前进行测定,但并非所有水质参数必须都应或者可以实现在现场的快速测试.对此,StuartGarnerl4提出了地下水基本水质参数(pr[marygroundwaterqualityparameters)的概念,规定基本水质参数是可以通过便携式电子仪器实现低成本,高精度野外测试的那些参数,并指出温度,电导率,pU,Eh,IX)等必须包括在内.由本文研究可知,地下水在从含水层抽出至地表的过程中其基本水质参数是不稳定的,对地下水的井口取样地面现场测试,仍然不能保证基本水质参数的准确性.因此,水下定深取样,定位测试技术应该成为地下水取样测试技术的发展方向L4J.204地球科学——中国地质大学第25卷参考文献:[1.陈国富,陈虹雁,王学工等井筒内水头高度与井底压力对比实验[J:工程勘察.1997.(4):32~35[2ClarkFEThecorrosivewe¨watersofEgypt'sWGC,i~rn

[英语作文]How water cycle水循环是怎样的

[英语作文]How water cycle水循环是怎样的Title: The Intricate Dance of the Water CycleThe water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is nature's way of recycling water through a continuous process that involves the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and bodies of water. It ensures that our planet's water supply remains in balance, despite the fact that the amount of water on Earth remains relatively constant.The water cycle begins with evaporation, where sunlight warms water in oceans, lakes, and rivers, causing it to change into water vapor and rise into the air. This warming effect is aided by factors such as wind and temperature differences between the water and the surrounding environment.As the water vapor rises, it cools and condenses into tiny droplets, forming clouds. When these droplets become heavy enough, they fall back to Earth in the form of precipitation, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This process is known as precipitation.Once on the ground, the water can take several paths. Some of it will evaporate back into the atmosphere, some will be absorbed byplants through their roots and released into the air through a process called transpiration, and the rest will flow over land and into bodies of water like streams, rivers, and eventually back to the oceans.Groundwater recharge is another significant part of the cycle. Some of the water infiltrates the ground and becomes part of the underground reservoirs, which can later discharge into surface waters or even become part of the water supply for humans.The water cycle is influenced by various factors, including climate, topography, and human activities such as deforestation and urbanization. Climate change can alter the cycle by changing patterns of precipitation and evaporation. Human-made structures like dams and levees can also disrupt natural water flows.In conclusion, the water cycle is a complex system that involves the exchange of water between the Earth's surface, the atmosphere, and living organisms. It is a delicate balance essential for life on Earth, providing fresh water for drinking, irrigation, and industry, while also shaping our landscapes and ecosystems. Understanding and protecting this vital cycle is crucial for the sustainability of our environment and the well-being of all living beings.。

Water is an essential component of the Earths ecosystem,and it plays a vital role in the water cycle,which is a continuous process that involves the movement of water between the Earths surface,atmosphere,and underground.Heres a detailed English composition about the water cycle:Title:The Water Cycle A Journey of TransformationIntroduction:The water cycle,also known as the hydrologic cycle,is a fascinating process that sustains life on our planet.It is a complex system of evaporation,condensation,precipitation,and collection that ensures the continuous availability of water.Evaporation:The journey of water begins with evaporation.When the suns rays heat the surface of the Earth,water from oceans,lakes,and rivers turns into water vapor and rises into the atmosphere.This process is also seen in smaller bodies of water like puddles and even from the soil and plant surfaces through transpiration.Condensation:As the water vapor rises,it cools and condenses to form tiny droplets,which gather together to create clouds.This phase change from gas to liquid is known as condensation. The clouds are a result of the cooling of the air as it reaches higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower.Precipitation:When the cloud droplets grow large enough,they fall back to the Earths surface as precipitation.This can take the form of rain,snow,sleet,or hail,depending on the temperature and atmospheric conditions.Precipitation is a crucial part of the water cycle, as it replenishes the water sources on the Earths surface.Collection and Runoff:After precipitation,the water either infiltrates the ground,becoming part of the groundwater system,or it flows over the surface as runoff.Runoff collects in rivers, streams,and eventually returns to the oceans,continuing the cycle.Infiltration and Groundwater Recharge:Water that infiltrates the soil replenishes aquifers,which are underground layers of waterbearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials.This process is known as groundwater recharge and is essential for maintaining the water table and providing water to wells and springs.Conclusion:The water cycle is a continuous and vital process that ensures the availability of fresh water for all forms of life.It is a delicate balance that is influenced by various factors such as climate,geography,and human activities.Understanding and protecting this cycle is crucial for the sustainability of our planets water resources.Reflection:As we learn about the water cycle,it is important to consider our role in its preservation. Simple actions like conserving water,protecting natural habitats,and reducing pollution can have a significant impact on maintaining the health of our water cycle and,by extension,our planet.。

Abstract A study of environmental chloride, deuterium, oxygen-18, and tritium in deep sand profiles (35 m) has been carried out in order to estimate their relative value for measuring average groundwater recharge. The investigation was located at a 0.1-kin 2 site in Quaternary sands near the northwestern coast of Senegal in a zone of rainfed agriculture. By using a steady-state model for duplicate unsaturated zone chloride profiles, the long-term average recharge at the site was estimated to be 30 mm yr -1 or around 10% of the average precipitation (290 mm). The chloride concentration of adjacent shallow groundwater was relatively uniform and comparable to the unsaturated zone average, while the spatial variability in the depth distribution of C1- in the unsaturated zone was considerable. Stable isotope (deuterium and oxygen-18) data show that there is some isotopic enrichment due to direct evaporation through the soil surface. The degree of heavy isotope enrichment is proportional to the extent of evaporative loss and there is good correspondance with the chloride enrichment. Nevertheless, stable isotopes cannot be used quantitatively to estimate the recharge. The excellent preservation of the peak in thermonuclear tritium in precipitation in the unsaturated zone at depths between 12 and 20 m enables an estimated annual recharge of 24 mm yr -1 in this area to be calculated, using the piston flow model. Agreement therefore between C1 and 3H as tools for recharge measurement is reasonable over the site.

water recharge. The mean annual rainfall from 1969 to 1986 at St. Louis, just north of the area, was only 223 mm representing a 36% drop in the long-term mean during the prolonged Sahel drought. Potential evaporation on a yearly basis greatly exceeds the annual rainfall; measured evaporation using the "Piche" evaporometer is approximately 2000 mm yr -1.
Introduction Estimates of rates of groundwater recharge are of prime importance in the assessment, development, and utilization of groundwater resources, on the one hand, and their protection against pollution and depletion, on the other. However, the physical methods for estimating recharge in arid and semiarid regions such as the Sahel zone are problematic for several reasons that were pointed out by Allison and others (1994). Recent reviews of techniques for estimating groundwater recharge by Allison (1987), Edmunds and others (1987), and Gee and Hillel (1988) emphasize the promising prospect given by chemical and isotopic methods. A large groundwater reservoir in the sandy aquifers of northern and western Senegal has in recent years supplied a large percentage of the water requirements for the urban zones, including the capital Dakar; this is likely to increase with the annual 6~o rise in the water demand reported by the National Water Distributor (SONEES). The resources in the dune area were estimated, to be 3.2 Mm 3 d -1 (Travi 1988). During the past two decades a continuous decline of the water table (0.2 m yr -1) has drawn attention to the problem of the water balance. It remains uncertain wether this decline is related to the severe drought affecting the Sahel since 1968 (Gaye 1990; Edmunds and others 1992) or overabstraction of the regional underlying aquifer. A project aimed to use the different available techniques for the estimation of the total mean annual recharge to this unconfined aquifer was settled in order to help the planning of future management of water resources in this region (Gaye 1990). Physical methods, including piezometric fluctuations, empirical formulae, lysimeter experiments, and hydrodynamic measurements in the unsaturated zone led to large discrepancies; the estimated infiltration ranged from 0 to over 50 mm yr -1. Chemical and isotopic techniques gave concordant values of 30 and 24 mm yr -~, respectively, for the recharge. This paper compares the relative value of chemical and isotopic methods for estimating recharge in a Sahelian
