Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Groundwater is a valuable natural resource and as such should be protected from chemical pollution. Because of the long travel times of pollutants through groundwater bodies, early detection of groundwater quality deterioration is necessary to efficiently protect groundwater bodies. The aim of this work was to develop and improve tools to detect trends in groundwater quality considering the reactive transport of pollutants from the ground surface to the monitoring screen. The study area of the research presented in this thesis was the province of Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands. Noord-Brabant is one of the areas in Europe which is most affected by agricultural pollution. Time-series from selected wells of the groundwater quality monitoring network were used in this thesis, in conjunction with groundwater ages determined with 3H/3He. Trend reversal of groundwater quality was demonstrated by relating concentrations of pollutants in groundwater to the time of recharge determined with 3H/3He. The quality of recharging groundwater deteriorated before 1980 but has been improving since 1990. Three types of solute specific trends were distinguished by a combination of reactive transport modeling and the analysis of concentrations related to groundwater age. These are the result of: (1) the anthropogenic trends in historical concentrations in recharging groundwater unaltered during conservative transport through the groundwater body (e.g. chloride), (2) anthropogenic trends in recharge concentrations altered by reactions during transport (e.g. retardation of potassium), and (3) geochemical reactions in the subsurface that are triggered by anthropogenic changes in the recharge concentrations of other solutes (e.g. release of sulfate, iron, and arsenic by nitrate-induced pyrite oxidation). Comparison of trend detection methods showed that there is no single optimal method to detect trends in groundwater quality across widely differing catchments. The selection of the method should firstly be made on the basis of the specific goals of the study, and secondly on the system under study, and the available resources. For trend detection in groundwater quality, the most important difference between groundwater bodies is whether the characteristics of the subsurface or the monitoring system causes mixing of groundwater with different travel times. Noble gas concentrations measured in groundwater samples, required for 3H/3He dating, showed that the production of nitrogen gas in groundwater by nitrate reduction and pyrite oxidation, leads to re-partitioning of noble gases between water and gas phase, thereby distorting groundwater dating with 3H/3He. Groundwater travel times can be estimated from degassed samples, if the total dissolved gas pressure (TDG) is used to estimate the depth and timing of degassing. The uncertainty of degassed 3H/3He ages, assessed by two-phase flow and transport simulations, had a standard deviation of 6 years with a bias of 2 years. As CFCs appear to be subject to significant degradation in anoxic groundwater and SF6 is highly susceptible to degassing, 3H/3He appears to be the most reliable method to date degassed groundwater in the anoxic parts of an aquifer. The main conclusion of this thesis is that an accurate estimate of groundwater age is of utmost importance in the detection of trends in groundwater quality."--Publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Climate Change and Groundwater by : Walter Dragoni
Download or read book Climate Change and Groundwater written by Walter Dragoni and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2008 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a general consensus that for the next few decades at least, the Earth will continue its warming. This will inevitably bring about serious environmental problems. For human society, the most severe will be those related to alterations of the hydrological cycle, which is already heavily influenced by human activities. Climate change will directly affect groundwater recharge, groundwater quality and the freshwater-seawater interface. The variations of groundwater storage inevitably entail a variety of geomorphological and engineering effects. In the areas where water resources are likely to diminish, groundwater will be one of the main solutions to prevent drought. In spite of its paramount importance, the issue of 'Climate Change and Groundwater' has been neglected. This volume presents some of the current understanding of the topic.
Book Synopsis Isotope Methods for Dating Old Groundwater by : International Atomic Energy Agency
Download or read book Isotope Methods for Dating Old Groundwater written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook provides theoretical and practical information for using a variety of isotope tracers for dating old groundwater, i.e. water stored in geological formations for periods ranging from about 1000 to one million years. Theoretical underpinnings of the methods and guidelines for their use in different hydrogeological environments are described. The guidebook also presents a number of case studies providing insight into how various isotopes have been used in aquifers around the world. The methods, findings and conclusions presented in this publication will enable students and practicing groundwater scientists to evaluate the use of isotope dating tools for specific issues related to the assessment and management of groundwater resources. In addition, the guidebook will be of use to the scientific community interested in issues related to radioactive waste disposal in geological repositories.

Book Synopsis Tracerlpm (Version 1) by : Bryant C. Jurgens
Download or read book Tracerlpm (Version 1) written by Bryant C. Jurgens and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TracerLPM is an interactive Excel(r) (2007 or later) workbook program for evaluating groundwater age distributions from environmental tracer data by using lumped parameter models (LPMs). Lumped parameter models are hydrodynamic dispersion or mixing within the aquifer, well bore, or discharge area. Five primary LPMs are included in exponential model (PEM), and dispersion model (DM). Binary mixing models (BMM) can be created by combining primary LPMs in various combinations. Travel time through the unsaturated zone can be included as an additional parameter. TracerLPM also allows users to enter age distributions determined from other methods, such as particle tracking LPMs not included in this program. Tracers of both young groundwater (anthropogenic atmospheric gases and isotopic substances indicating post-1940s recharge) and much older groundwater (carbon-14 and helium-4) can be interpreted simultaneously so that estimates of the groundwater age distribution for samples with a wide range of ages can be constrained.
Book Synopsis Groundwater Monitoring by : Anne Marie Fouillac
Download or read book Groundwater Monitoring written by Anne Marie Fouillac and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundwater is sometimes called “the hidden asset” – awareness of its existence and its importance is not well known and as a consequence the measures which are required to protect and manage it in an environmental sustainable way are either not taken or are taken too late. Where pollution has occurred and measures are taken too late it may take decades, or longer, until the necessary restoration of quality is achieved. This comprehensive text presents in the following sections: Groundwater monitoring in the regulatory and international context Conceptual modelling and network design Groundwater pollutants and other pressures Groundwater quality standards and trend assessment Case studies for groundwater assessment and monitoring in the light of EU legislation Groundwater measurements Associating external stakeholders The editors have collected state-of-the-art information on groundwater quality assessment monitoring from the international community, providing further stimulation to the work of all parties involved in the challenges this area creates to ensure sound quality assessment of groundwater.
