“…When groundwater is abstracted from unconsolidated sedimentary aquifers, two types of well clogging can be distinguished (van Beek 1984; Houben and Treskatis 2007; van Beek et al 2009a): screen slot or chemical clogging and wellbore or mechanical clogging. Screen slot clogging occurs if a single well abstracts both oxygen‐containing water and iron‐containing water.…”

“…Several elements are indicators of active clogging processes within GSHP systems. These processes can have a physical [14,15], microbiological [10,16,17] or chemical [18][19][20] source. However, in most cases clogging appears by a combination of more than one of those sources [21,22].…”

“…The dynamic operation of a system has also an impact on water quality. For instance, at system startup, the particle load increases in the well [15] while stagnant conditions occurring during downtime phases promote oxygenation, that in turn favors microbial abundance and diversity in the well [26].…”

Standing column well constitutes a recent promising solution to provide heating or cooling and to reduce greenhouse gases emissions in urban areas. Nevertheless, scaling issues can emerge in presence of carbonates and impact their efficiency. Even though a thermo-hydro-geochemical model demonstrated the impact of the water temperature on carbonate concentration, this conclusion has not been yet demonstrated by field investigations. To do so, an experimental ground source heat pump system connected to a standing column well was operated under various conditions to collect 50 groundwater samples over a period of 267 days. These field samples were used for mineral analysis and laboratory batch experiments. The results were analyzed with multivariate regression and geochemical simulations and confirmed a clear relationship between the calcium concentrations measured in the well, the temperature and the calcite equilibrium constant. It was also found that operating a ground source heat pump system in conjunction with a small groundwater treatment system allows reduction of calcium concentration in the well, while shutting down the system leads to a quite rapid increase at a level consistent with the regional calcium concentration. Although no major clogging or biofouling problem was observed after two years of operation, mineral scales made of carbonates precipitated on a flowmeter and hindered its operation. The paper provides insight on the impact of standing column well on groundwater quality and suggests some mitigation measures.

: River bank filtration has been considered as a promising alternative water management scheme, in which groundwater is extracted from an aquifer near a river after infiltration of the river water into the aquifer, thereby improving and maintaining the quality of water recovered. Iron (Fe) associated with sediment in contact with groundwater and infiltrating surface water is an important factor in determining the quality of water recovered from the pumping wells in river bank filtration. This study reports the results of Fe speciation in the aquifer sediment samples collected from different depths at the river bank filtration site in Changwon, studied using four different chemical extraction methods, namely, ferrozine, oxalate, HCl, and DCB methods. Overall, the results show that Fe(II) as well as the total Fe content decreases with depth down to ∼20 m and then increases further below. This trend is consistent with the redox characteristics suggested by visual observation. The silt/clay size fraction (ø < 62.5 µm) has up to 2∼10 times more Fe compared with the sand size fraction (62.5 µm < ø < 2 mm), depending on the extraction method. Of the four extraction methods, DCB solution
