Since karst water is the main water-supply source in eastern suburbs of Jinan, these problems have greatly affected the safety of water supply. Based on the analysis of hydrogeological condition in eastern suburbs of Jinan, this thesis discusses the causes of carbon tetrachloride pollution and hydrochemical variation with hydrogeochemical theories so as to protect the precious karst groundwater and Jinan spring water. It is found that through research and analysis that there are mainly two causes of carbon tetrachloride pollution and hydrochemical variation: the vulnerability of karst water in this area; the other being the serious pollution in this area caused by remaining pollution sources of the last century.展开更多

This paper discusses the features of recharge, runoff and discharge of karst water in various zones, and hydrogeological parameters such as the age, flow rate and natural recharge of karst water have been estimated.展开更多

Thus, theexploration of fissure or karst water can be converted into searching for the watery preferred plane(WPP). In the paper, the characteristic of watery preferred planes is analyzed and a series ofsuperior indices has been set up. It is introduced that WPPs are determined by the methods ofgeological analysis, superior index and complex geophysical analysis. Meanwhile, new multiple modelfor water resource development in the water-scarce areas of karst mountainous regions are advanced.展开更多

In this study, we integrated hydrogeological and hydrogeochemical properties to characterize the hydraulic behavior of karst waters in the Heshang Cave, Central China. Using geological and topographical analyses, we identified regional watershed boundaries and hydrogeological connections that were controlled by anticlinal geometry and faults. Water samples were collected from the Heshang Cave and potential recharge sites. Geochemical data of c(Sr^2+)/c(Ca^2+) and c(Mg^2+)/c(Ca^2+) ratios suggest that the drainage system in Heshang Cave consists of two flow paths. For vadose waters, including drip water and rimstone pool water, c(Sr^2+)/c(Ca^2+) ratio ranges from 0.000 6 to 0.001 1, and c(Mg^2+)/c(Ca^2+) ratio ranges from 0.97 to 1.1, indicating that recharge was mainly from rainfall infiltration through the overlying Cambrian dolomite stratum. In contrast, slope current and underground river waters have higher c(Sr^2+)/c(Ca^2+) ratios (values from 0.002 2 to 0.002 8), and lower c(Mg2+)/c(Ca^2+) ratios (values from 0.50 to 0.64). These waters show homogeneous isotopic composition (δ^18O: -7.15‰- -6.95‰; δD: -52.73‰- -51.31‰), implying recharge of allogeneic water from the Xiaocr River via karst conduits that pass through Ordovician limestone and Cambrian dolomite stratum.展开更多
