降雨条件下典型岩溶流域地下水中的物质运移

通过对2008年4月下旬降雨期间,重庆青木关地下河系统出口姜家泉泉水的水文过程、浊度、悬浮颗粒物、主要阳离子和TOC浓度的监测,结合悬浮颗粒物的扫描电镜和能谱分析图,来研究岩溶流域地下水中悬浮颗粒物浓度、浊度、主要阳离子和TOC等物质的运移特征.结果表明,在单一岩溶管道较发育的地下河出口,泉水流量、浊度、悬浮颗粒物浓度、主要阳离子和TOC浓度对降雨事件响应迅速;与碳酸盐岩溶解有关的Ca2+、Mg2+和Sr2+等在流量上升的过程中表现为稀释效应;降雨期间,地下河中受雨水侵蚀的土壤输入量增大,引起泉水中浊度和悬浮颗粒物浓度的增大;泉水中Al3+、Fe、Mn、Ba2+和TOC等物质是悬浮颗粒物的伴生物,其浓度随浊度的增大而增大;在研究的2场降雨期间,地下水携带悬浮颗粒物(0.45μm)的总量约为9.7t;在泉水流量的上升和衰减的过程中,水质较差或极差;降雨期间流域内土壤侵蚀和养分的流失,不但严重破坏了脆弱的岩溶生态环境,而且极易造成地下水由土壤侵蚀引起的非点源污染,对当地居民的饮水安全造成严重的威胁.

Substances Transport in an Underground River of Typical Karst Watershed During Storm Events

Hydrologic process, turbidity, suspended particles matters (SPM) , major cations and TOC concentrations during two storm events in late April 2008 were monitored at Jiangjia Spring which is the outlet of Qingmu Guan underground river system. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) analyses of SPM were also performed in order to investigate the transport characteristics of substances, such as SPM, turbidity and major cations in the underground river of typical karst watershed. The results show that at a single and well-developed karst conduit of Jiangjia Spring, discharge, turbidity, and concentrations of SPM, major cations and TOC respond promptly to the rainfall. The carbonate-derived cations including Ca~(2+) , Mg~(2+) and Sr~(2+) are subject to dilution effect during the rising limb of discharge. The elevation in turbidity and SPM concentration is a result of the gradual increase of allochthonous substances (soil) flux input from the surface. Al~(3+) , Fe, Mn, Ba~(2+) and TOC are concomitant substances of SPM. And their concentrations are ascending with turbid rise. The flux of SPM in diameter > 0.45 μm in the underground river is about 9.7 tons during the events. The bad water quality suggests us that the spring water is unfit to drink without purification during the period of rising and recession time of discharge at Jiangjia Spring. Thus, soil erosion and nutrient losing not only strongly destroy the fragile karst ecological environment, but also lead to non- point source pollution, and seriously threaten the drinking water safety of locals.
