Ganga basin is one of the world’s biggest aquifer repositories. The thick alluvium of the basin hosts its three tier aquifer system. The aquifer of the basin is under high stress due to unethical human intervention in the natural system. This warrants the need to evolve the basic hydrochemistry of every bit of the basin to make a scientific planning followed by a pragmatic execution. A multivariate statistical analysis was carried in order to give the hydrochemistry of the shallow aquifer a new dimension which is easily understood at a glance. In the present paper an attempt has been made to study the hydro chemical analysis data of shallow groundwater in parts of Karwan – Sengar sub basin, Central Ganga basin. The study is made of shallow aquifer of the region in which the movement of groundwater is from northwest to southeast. The descriptive statistical analysis was done beside Pearson correlation, principle component and regression analysis. All these are synthesized here to decipher the dynamics involved in the hydrochemistry of the area. The principle component analysis identified five factors that are responsible for the data structure explaining 83.49 % of the total variance of the data set. Factor 1 to 5 explains variance of 31.23, 19.445, 13.131, 12.105 and 8.647% respectively. Regression analysis show that Electric Conductivity (EC) as an independent variable which can be used to measure Carbonate (CO3 2-), Chloride(Cl-), Sodium (Na+), and Total Dissolve Solids (TDS). Further Magnesium (Mg2+) can be used to calculate the Total Hardness (TH) directly in the area.

In order to complete the geological survey of Harbin, it is necessary to understand the regime and law of groundwater in Harbin with the method of groundwater numerical modeling which requires the evaluation of groundwater resources quantity as a basic and critical step. Based on the analysis of hydrogeological conditions of the shallow aquifer in Harbin which includes the characteristics of aquifer system structure, boundary conditions, groundwater regime and recharge and discharge, a conceptual hydrogeological model has been built up with GMS (Groundwater Modeling System). With the numerical simulation model transferred by the conceptual model, the total amounts of renewable groundwater resources under different precipitation frequencies have been calculated. The result not only illustrates that the shallow aquifer in Harbin has certain potential in development and utilization but also provides some reference for managing a highly precise groundwater quantity evaluation by groundwater numerical modeling techniques.

Abstract The result of the spatial analysis as applied to the hydrogeochemical data set in the shallow aquifer of Ibadan provides an insight into the underlying factors controlling hydrogeochemical processes in the area. A total of thirty drinking water samples (six samples each from the five major lithologic formations of the study area) were collected from shallow aquifers during the rainy and dry season. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) and the Beckan DU-7500 single beam spectrophotometer were used to determine concentrations of arsenic, iron and fluoride in drinking water samples and the concentrations of other chemical parameters that could affect the concentrations of the geogenic contaminants including Ca, Mg, Na and SO42− were also analysed. pH and TDS were also determined. The Pearson Correlation and Factor Analysis were used to examine the relationship between the geogenic contaminants and concentration of other hydrogeochemical parameters while isopleth maps were drawn to ascertain lines of equal geogenic concentration (Isogeogenic lines). Factor analysis reduced the dataset into three major components representing the different sources of the contaminant. Major contributors to factor 1 and 3 (Salinization and Sulphate factors respectively) are natural phenomena while factor 2 is partly geogenic. The Isogeogenic lines show places of equal geogenic concentration and also with 3D Elevation modelling showed a high peak of Arsenic and Fluoride in the Sango area. The correlation test showed that there is a positive relationship between As and SO42− 0.889 (P < 0.05) and also a positive relationship between As and Mg 0.43 (P < 0.05). The significant relationship between As and SO42−, shows a partly geogenic source resulting from the reduction of sulphate to sulphide for the mobilization of As. The positive relationship between Fluoride and pH 0.242 (P > 0.05) implies that the concentration of F within the rock formation depends on high pH value.

Shallow Groundwater System

ABSTRACTAlthough many European cities use urban aquifers for water supply, groundwater from shallow urban aquifers is not widely exploited. Nevertheless, shallow urban groundwater is a key environmental resource – for example, in maintaining healthy urban river flows and attenuating some pollutants – and it can also be a threat, such as through groundwater flooding. However, shallow urban groundwater is frequently overlooked or ineffectively managed, in large part because it is often poorly understood. This paper demonstrates the need to improve understanding of the shallow groundwater system in a city where shallow groundwater is not widely abstracted and, consequently, relatively little groundwater data exist. Like many UK cities, Glasgow is underlain by complex unconsolidated Quaternary deposits, which form a heterogeneous shallow aquifer system that has been extensively impacted by urban activities, typical of a former industrial city. Balancing the potential benefits and risks of shallow groundwater in Glasgow requires a better understanding of Quaternary hydrogeology in order to support the transition to a more sustainable city. This paper presents an improved conceptual model of Glasgow's shallow groundwater system within a sequence of Quaternary deposits in the Clyde valley, drawing heavily on data collected during major site investigations for land development in the city. Postglacial Quaternary sediments in Glasgow form an elongate, variably thick (up to 30m) and variably permeable aquifer system. Aquifer units with high permeability and high storage capacity are partially separated by lower permeability, but still hydrogeologically active, units. Groundwater in the system is hydraulically connected with the River Clyde. Groundwater flow occurs both longitudinally down-valley and convergent from the edge of the valley aquifer towards the river. There has been extensive anthropogenic alteration to the urban surface and shallow subsurface, which has modified the natural physical and chemical groundwater system. Pollution associated with historical industry has also extensively impacted the quality of Quaternary groundwater.

Abstract. This study combines major ion and isotope chemistry, age tracers, fracture density characterizations, and physical hydrology measurements to understand how the structure of the critical zone (CZ) influences its function, including water routing, storage, mean water residence times, and hydrologic response. In a high elevation rhyolitic tuff catchment in the Jemez River Basin Critical Zone Observatory (JRB-CZO) within the Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP) of northern New Mexico, a periodic precipitation pattern creates different hydrologic flow regimes during spring snowmelt, summer monsoon rain, and fall storms. Hydrometric, geochemical, and isotopic analyses of surface water and groundwater from distinct stores, most notably shallow groundwater that is likely a perched aquifer in consolidated collapse breccia and deeper groundwater in a fractured tuff aquifer system, enabled us to untangle the interactions of these groundwater stores and their contribution to streamflow across 1 complete water year (WY). Despite seasonal differences in groundwater response due to water partitioning, major ion chemistry indicates that deep groundwater from the highly fractured site is more representative of groundwater contributing to streamflow across the entire water year. Additionally, the comparison of streamflow and groundwater hydrographs indicates a hydraulic connection between the fractured welded tuff aquifer system and streamflow, while the shallow aquifer within the collapse breccia deposit does not show this same connection. Furthermore, analysis of age tracers and oxygen (δ18O) and stable hydrogen (δ2H) isotopes of water indicates that groundwater is a mix of modern and older waters recharged from snowmelt, and downhole neutron probe surveys suggest that water moves through the vadose zone both by vertical infiltration and subsurface lateral flow, depending on the lithology. We find that in complex geologic terrain like that of the JRB-CZO, differences in the CZ architecture of two hillslopes within a headwater catchment control water stores and routing through the subsurface and suggest that shallow groundwater does not contribute significantly to streams, while deep fractured aquifer systems contribute most to streamflow.

The Relationship

The work is devoted to application of spatial statistics and regression analysis tools in the ArcGIS Pro program. In this report we try to confirm two theories in the relationship between positional characteristics of municipalities and the temporal development of population: The farther the locality is from the main settlement of the territory, the faster it loses its own population. The farther the locality is from the main highways of the territory, the faster it loses its own population. The main aim of this article is to find the strictest definition of the type of correlation between such specific distances as the distance to the regional center, the distance to the nearest highway and the relative changes in the municipalities’ population, according to the example of the Tyumen region. A network data set was created to calculate the distances, it contains several elements: main roads, calculated centers of municipalities (CM), lines — distances from centers to the nearest road (“stops”). For the study we used information on changes of population for 4 periods: 1981–1990, 1990–2002, 2002–2010 and 2010–2018. The dependence was done by enumerating the degrees of distances. We considered that the dependence was selected in case the relevant correlation coefficient was the largest. For each chosen relationship, ArcGIS Pro performed a complete statistical analysis, based on the results, the significance of the model was identified, residual maps constructed, and regression equations calculated. All the models except the first period turned out to be significant, but they were displaced, which indicates the existence of some unexplored factors. In the context of the constructed models, it was assumed that the distance to the regional center is closely connected with an expansion of the population in the surrounding municipalities, but the expansion gets more the closer the municipal district is to Tyumen. The distance to the nearest highway is associated with a decrease of population, and the farther the municipality is from the highway, the more it loses population.

Since 1980s, accelerated by urbanization, Yogyakarta City was shifting to many directions defined by main road networks and service centres. Urbanization has transformed rural dwellings to become urban settlements and generated urban agglomeration area. Until now, new business centres, education centres and tourism centres are growing hand in hand with new settlements (formal or informal) without proper provision of water supply and sanitation system. This condition increase the possibility of groundwater contamination from urban wastewater and a change of major chemistry of groundwater as shallow unconfined aquifer is lying under Yogyakarta City. To prove the evolution of groundwater chemistry, old data taken on 1980s were comparing with the recent groundwater chemistry data. The evaluation shows that nitrate content of groundwater in 1980s was a minor anion, but nowadays become a major anion, especially in the shallow groundwater in the centre of Yogyakarta City. This evidence shows that there is an evolution of groundwater chemistry in shallow groundwater below Yogyakarta City due to contamination from un-proper on-site sanitation system.
