Hydrochemical Characteristics and Evolution of Groundwater in the Alluvial Plain (Anqing Section) of the Lower Yangtze River Basin: Multivariate Statistical and Inversion Model Analyses

Abstract: The alluvial plain (Anqing section) of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin is facing increasing groundwater pollution, not only threatening the safety of drinking water for local residents and the sustainable development and utilization of groundwater resources but also the ecological security of the Yangtze River Basin. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary analysis on the hydrochemical characteristics and evolution law of groundwater in this area. This study aimed to evaluate potential… Show more

“… PC3 - has a total variance of 16.0% with higher positive loading for TA and HCO 3 − and moderate loading for Mg 2+ . Contribution of these variables could be attributed from the substantial amounts of dissolved carbon dioxide and from the water–rock interactions occurring more often between the groundwater and aquifer which results in strong carbonate dissolution [ 108 ]. PC4 and PC5 - accounted for 12.3% and 8.57% of total variance, respectively with moderate positive loadings of Temp.…”

“…Consistent with the significant difference between groups of Na + /Cl – , the CAI value of the SMF group was significantly different from other groups, which further indicated that the relative abundance of Na + and Cl – in water would significantly affect the intensity of the cation exchange reaction during the water–rock interaction. Next, the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) can be used to identify the strength of cation exchange in the water–rock interaction Figure d shows that the SAR value of the SMF group was lower than that of the other groups, indicating that the cation exchange in the SMF group was relatively weak in the process of the water–rock interaction.…”

“…Next, the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) can be used to identify the strength of cation exchange in the water− rock interaction. 49 Figure 7d shows that the SAR value of the SMF group was lower than that of the other groups, indicating that the cation exchange in the SMF group was relatively weak in the process of the water−rock interaction. From the time stage, the order of SAR values in the four groups was early-stage > middle-stage > late-stage, showing that the cation exchange effect decreased gradually with the extension of the reaction time.…”

“…To understand the chemical processes controlling the mineralization of waters of the various facies in the Batha hydrogeological system chemical data were acquired. On the other hand, to distinguish the contribution of rainfall, water/rock interaction and/or evaporation the Gibbs's plot was commonly used (Chacha et al 2018;Xanke et al 2020;Che et al 2021;Keesari et al 2021) in the semi-arid context. The contributions of others processes as base-exchange and ionic equilibrium were investigated using binary diagrams.…”
