Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to identify the sources of chemical compositions in the karst groundwater. The coefficients of variations (CVs) of the physical and chemical data of JJS were utilized to interpret the migration path of the chemical compositions. The results showed that water-rock interactions, agricultural activities, and soil erosion were the main sources of the groundwater chemical compositions. Ions of potassium, sodium, nitrate, chloride and phosphate from agricultural activities together with ions of calcium, magnesium, strontium and bicarbonate derived from carbonate dissolution appear to be stored and regulated by the karst unsaturated zone in features such as fissures, pores and solution cracks. The concentrations of the ions remained relatively stable and they showed low CVs owing to their migration by diffuse flow to recharge the underground river. In contrast, concentrations of ions such as total iron, total manganese and aluminum from soil erosion were unstable and showed high CVs owing to their migration by overland flow to recharge the underground river directly via sinkholes. During heavy rainfall events, the nutrients from agricultural activities and sediment from soil erosion could quickly impair the aquatic ecosystem and pose serious threats to water quality. Therefore, it is necessary to reinforce management of the ecological system for better control of the influx of mass nutrients into the karst aquifer system.展开更多

The variations of hydrogeochemical compositions are found responding rapidly to storm events. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the 20 variables is employed to interpret the relationships with specific processes that control the groundwater hydrogeochemical formations. Through PCA, 84.961% of the total amount information is extracted to indicate the formations of groundwater hydrogeochemical features in QURS during storm events. The first component separates the soil erosion (i.e., increases in turbidity and concentrations of Al3+, TFe, TMn, Ba2+ and NO2?), and dilution effect (i.e., decreases in specific conductance and concentrations of HCO3?, Ca2+ and Sr2+), accounting for 41.495% of the variability in the data. The second component indicates residual fertilizers and duck’s waste from farmlands (i.e., increases in specific conductance and concentrations of Na+, NO3-, PO43-,K+and Cl-), contributing to 37.449%. The dissolution of dolomite and dolomitic limestone makes up 6.017%. During the first rainfall event, the groundwater quality is mainly affected by residual fertilizers and duck’s waste from farmlands, whereas in the second rainfall event, it is mainly affected by increased turbidity and ionic concentrations caused by soil erosion.展开更多

To investigate the stream-groundwater interaction mechanisms in the lateral hyporheic zone, this study examined Ma'an Creek in Chongqing during the dry season from December 2015 to April 2016. The water level, water temperature, pH and Cl. concentration in the hyporheic zone and groundwater were monitored in situ. The sediment permeability coefficient, stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen and concentration of DOC were analyzed. The results show that the water level changes of hyporheic zone and the movement of hyporheic flow were influenced significantly by the permeability coefficient of sediment. The hyporheic flow approximately10 cm from the stream bank was clearly affected by precipitation infiltration and evapotranspiration. During the study period,the groundwater recharged the stream, and the impact of groundwater on the hyporheic flow gradually decreased with the flow path. The hyporheic flow approximately 30 cm from the stream bank was still mainly affected by groundwater. Approximately10–30 cm from the stream bank, the mixing of groundwater with precipitation and stream water intensified. Due to the sediment properties, moisture accumulated approximately 10 cm from the stream bank and drained into the stream via hyporheic flow, with potential impacts on stream water quality.展开更多
文摘岩溶地下水系统具有高度的开放性和脆弱性,使得地下水极易遭受污染.为探究旅游酒店排污对岩溶地下水水化学变化的影响,以金佛山世界自然遗产地水房泉流域为例,对水房泉地下水的水化学进行自动化监测,对流域内雨水、土壤水、某酒店自来水、污废水进行定期采集,结合流域硝酸盐氮氧同位素分析.结果表明,监测期间水房泉水化学变化随酒店入住游客量总体表现为3个阶段:前期受降雨影响显著,旅游高峰期间水质急剧恶化,后期水质明显好转.酒店生活污废水的排放成为水房泉水化学演变的重要因素,硝酸盐氮氧同位素表明水房泉的NO_3^-主要来自粪便、污废水以及土壤N的混合. H_2SO_4及污水中HCl、有机酸等可能参与了碳酸盐岩的溶蚀,使水房泉Ca^(2+)、Mg^(2+)、HCO_3^-浓度增加明显.流域岩溶管道发育,地下水流速快,使污染物质扩散迅速,故在研究期间水房泉主要离子的浓度高峰对污废水排放高峰的响应仅滞后约4 d.
