Groundwater Quality Monitoring in Shallow and Deep Aquifers in Saidabad Tahsil Area, Mathura District, India

Water availability in arid regions is both sporadic and highly variable in quantity. If the water quality shows large variations of salinity and concentration of other chemical constituents with depth and time span, it has considerable effect on the entire hydrological set up of the area. In the Saidabad tahsil area, the deep aquifers that supply water to borewells in the alluvial plain of the Mathura region, Uttar Pradesh, have higher salinity than those of the dugwells from the shallow aquifers. The excessive drilling of tubewells and high yield tubewells are resulting in deterioration of water quality of the shallow aquifers. On the contrary, the chemical constituents such as, Na⁺, K ⁺, Cl ^-, andHCO ₃ ^- show higher concentration in shallow aquifers than deep aquifers. A study carried out to monitor water quality in this region reveals that the groundwater quality varies with depth and time span in shallow and deep aquifers. Factors controlling variations in salinity and concentration of chemical constituents of the water in the two types of aquifers are discussed. The relative merits of the shallow water for potability are pointed out with respect to salinity concentrations and public health.     

Assessment of risk to aquatic biota from elevated salinity -- a case study from the Hunter River, Australia

A linear engineering project--i.e. a pipeline--has a potential long- and short-term impact on the environment and on the inhabitants therein. We must find better, less expensive, and less time-consuming ways to obtain information on the environment and on any modifications resulting from anthropic activity. We need scientifically sound, rapid and affordable assessment and monitoring methods. Construction companies, industries and the regulating government organisms lack the resources needed to conduct long-term basic studies of the environment. Thus there is a need to make the necessary adjustments and improvements in the environmental data considered useful for this development project. More effective and less costly methods are generally needed. We characterized the landscape of the study area, situated in the center and north-east of Argentina. Little is known of the ecology of this region and substantial research is required in order to develop sustainable uses and, at the same time, to develop methods for reducing impacts, both primary and secondary, resulting from anthropic activity in this area. Furthermore, we made an assessment of the environmental impact of the planned linear project, applying an ad hoc impact index, and we analyzed the different alternatives for a corridor, each one of these involving different sections of the territory. Among the alternative corridors considered, this study locates the most suitable ones in accordance with a selection criterion based on different environmental and conservation aspects. We selected the corridor that we considered to be the most compatible--i.e. with the least potential environmental impact--for the possible construction and operation of the linear project. This information, along with suitable measures for mitigating possible impacts, should be the basis of an environmental management plan for the design process and location of the project. We pointed out the objectivity and efficiency of this methodological approach, along with the possibility of integrating the information in order to allow for the application thereof in this type of study.     

波形潜流湿地处理低浓度生活污水

本文主要研究不同水力负荷条件下,波形潜流人工湿地对低浓度生活污水中有机物、氮和磷的去除效果及其影响因素。低、中、高水力负荷分别为0·2、0·4、0·8m3/(m2·d),处理低浓度生活污水试验研究表明:水力负荷对CODCr和TP的去除率有一定的影响,都是随着水力负荷的增大而下降;对NH3-N和TN的去除效果几乎没有影响。

引哈济党工程对苏干湖湿地天然植被的影响

根据Processing MODFLOW模型对调水后大苏干湖区面积和湿地地下水位的影响预测结果,初步确立引哈济党工程适宜调水量,并在各调水方案的基础上,以干旱区天然植被与地下水的定量关系为依据,分析预测地下水位下降对湿地天然植被的影响。结果表明:不同工况引水50 a后,大苏干湖湖泊面积减少均不超过8%;湿地地下水水位0 m~1 m区面积将持续下降,最大减少17 km2;湿地天然植被部分将发生演替,主要由湿生植被向中、旱生植被演变,影响集中在两湖间河道湿地及湿地外围边缘地带。

水力空化耦合电解抑藻工艺性能的初步研究

采用水力空化与电解耦合的工艺去除水体中的藻类。初步探索了包括空化管径和电解时间在内的处理工艺参数,改善了处理装置结构。试验选用天然水体优势藻种——铜绿微囊藻和水华鱼腥藻为研究对象,在优化后的水力空化条件下,水头压力0.33 MPa,电流密度为2.13 mA/cm²,处理10 L密度为3.0×106 mL^-1的铜绿微囊藻藻液。结果表明,该装置具有显著的抑藻效果,处理30 min的水样在处理后培养3 d可以达到76.9%的抑藻率,4 d后抑藻率上升到到97.5%。而对藻液分别进行单独空化30 min和单独电解30 min后培养4 d的抑藻率分别为27.7%和27.8%,表明空化耦合电解具有协同作用。通过比较该装置对不同藻种以及处于不同生长阶段的藻种的处理效果,发现装置对铜绿微囊藻的抑藻率显著优于水华鱼腥藻;对于铜绿微囊藻而言,处于对数生长期的藻细胞比稳定生长期更易被除去。
