河水-地下水侧向交互带地球化学特征:以重庆市马鞍溪为例

河水-地下水交互带是河水与地下水相互交换和混合的区域,在河流、地下水生态和水质的保护方面具有重要作用.为了解河水-地下水侧向交互带地球化学特征,以重庆市马鞍溪为研究对象,对河水及交互带的水温、溶解氧(DO)、pH值、电导率(EC)进行自动监测,结合对水样离子浓度和交互带沉积物中元素含量的分析.结果表明,马鞍溪侧向交互带水化学类型为HCO_3-Ca·Mg型.监测期间交互带受河水入渗影响为主,交互带的缓冲作用使其温度、DO、pH值、EC等指标变异系数较河水低.随距河岸距离的增加,马鞍溪侧向交互带在物理、化学、生物综合作用下形成了迅速进入缺氧状态的氧化还原环境,以及pH值先降低后升高的酸碱环境.在其影响下,K~+、NH_4~+-N、NO_3~-、SO_4~(2-)呈下降趋势,全Mn、EC、Na~+、Ca~(2+)、Mg~(2+)、Sr~(2+)等先上升后下降,全Fe、Al~(3+)等呈上升趋势.受河水、地下水长期交互影响,在距河岸约30 cm处的交互带沉积物中元素含量较高,形成独特的水化学梯度.据此可推断出马鞍溪侧向交互带边界可能在距河岸30~50 cm处,其中浅层交互带的边界可能在距河岸10 cm左右的位置.在河水补给地下水过程中,河水-地下水侧向交互带对净化水质有重要作用.

Geochemical Characteristics of Lateral Hyporheic Zone Between the River Water and Groundwater, a Case Study of Maanxi in Chongqing

The hyporheic zone is a place where river water and groundwater mutually exchange and mix. It plays an important role in protecting the ecology and water quality of river water and groundwater. In order to study the geochemical characteristics of lateral hyporheic zone in river and ground water, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, electrical conductivity were measured automatically at the hyporheic zone of Maanxi in Chongqing. The concentrations of ions in water and elements in sediment within the hyporheic zone were also analyzed. The results showed that the hydrochemical species of lateral hyporheic zone in Maanxi was HCO₃-Ca·Mg. Affected by the infiltration of river water, the coefficient variations of water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and electrical conductivity in the hyporheic zone were lower than those observed in the river under the buffer action. Along with the farther distance from the riverbank, an anoxia redox environment was formed in the hyporheic zone due to a physical, chemical and biological interactions. An acid and alkali environment was also formed with a decreasing pH trend near the riverbank and hyporheic zone. Under its influence, concentrations of K⁺, NH₄⁺-N, NO₃^- and SO₄^2- decreased. Mn, electrical conductivity, and the concentrations of Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Ba²⁺ and Sr²⁺ firstly increased and then decreased, while the concentrations of Fe, Al³⁺ were elevated. Affected by the long-time interaction of river water and groundwater, the elementary concentrations in the sediment were relatively high at the place of about 30 cm away from the riverbank. This consequently formed a hydrogeochemical gradient in the hyporheic zone. The boundary of the hyporheic zone was inferred at 30 to 50 cm away from the riverbank, whereas the boundary of shallow hyporheic zone was located at 10 cm away from the riverbank. In the process of river water recharging groudnwater, hyporheic zone of river and groundwater played an important role in the purification of water quality.
