“…The last period was named as "the great drop" for its largest decreasing extent. Reports have also pointed out that the North China Plain, where Beijing is located, has experienced an overpumped period since 1970s and many groundwater depression cones were formed [38]. This has caused severe water shortage, especially for the irrigated land which relies on groundwater, and derived ecoenvironmental problems relating to low groundwater level [39,40].…”

Groundwater has always been a valuable resource in Beijing, facing a great decline of groundwater level during the past decades. However, few previous researches have revealed the spatial variation of groundwater level within Beijing Plain. In this study, spatiotemporal variation of groundwater level from 2001 to 2010 in Beijing Plain has been investigated. Factor analysis has been conducted to identify the primary influencing factor. Results showed that the groundwater level decreased by 8.41 m from 2001 to 2010, with a linear decreasing rate of 0.954 m per year averagely. Significant spatial variation characteristics have been detected. The north area suffered more groundwater depletion than the south part in general. The lowest groundwater level has been identified downstream Miyun Reservoir, central part of the Plain. Nevertheless, the most of the south part witnessed a slight revival between 2001 and 2010. This may be due to the differences of socioeconomic circumstances in the Plain. Three influencing factors, that is, “demand factor,” “supply factor,” and “loss factor,” have been identified in the water balance model. Eigenvalues of these factors are 3.563, 2.910, and 1.632, respectively, indicating that these factors influenced the groundwater system to various extents, with the demand factor being the primary one.

“…Traditionally, surface water and groundwater were considered different components of the hydrological cycle, although communication between the two water bodies was previously investigated in various scales (Winter et al, 1998;Barthel, 2014). More recently, intensive pumping from deep confined aquifers enabled communication between aquifers (Onodera et al, 2009;Yuan et al, 2013). Nevertheless, it is difficult to determine the timing and path of these interactions due to the significant spatial and temporal variability in the phenomenon (Keery et al, 2007), especially in low-precipitation regions (Scanlon et al, 2006;Jolly et al, 2008).…”

“…However, since the 1980s, the water levels declined and the water quality deteriorated (Cui et al, 2010). Previous hydrological research in the Baiyangdian Lake watershed used multi-tracer analyses and numerical simulations (Wang et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2008;Shu et al, 2012;Yuan et al, 2013). The main cause of water shortage is overexploitation for agricultural and industrial purposes due to rapid economic development (Liu et al, 2006;Moiwo et al, 2010).…”

The surface water/groundwater-continuum flow system is investigated through an intensive field survey downstream of the Baiyangdian Lake watershed, North China Plain. Oxygen and hydrogen isotope and chemical analyses are conducted on surface water, shallow groundwater, and deep groundwater and the results are processed by applying principal component and cluster analyses. The surface water of the Fu River, Tang Reservoir, and Baiyangdian Lake is strongly affected by anthropogenic influence, resulting in high nitrate-ion concentration, a distinct sodium-sulfate water-type derived from industrial wastewater, and enriched stable isotopic compositions due to accumulated evaporation, respectively. In some areas, shallow groundwater shows close chemical and isotopic affinity to surface water, indicating that surface water recharges to shallow groundwater. Deep groundwater shows lower chemical and isotopic signals than surface water and shallow groundwater. However, a slightly high nitrate-ion concentration is observed in some samples of deep groundwater, suggesting a partial communication between shallow and deep aquifers.

“…They therefore serve as major sources of freshwater in many countries around the world, supporting so many needs for agriculture, industry, and municipal drinking [1,2]. However, with the soaring water demands for increasing industrialisation and urbanisation, the groundwater exploitation rises sharply, forming depression cones in some areas in the world; leakage recharge from other aquifers then occurs which is inevitable, providing an alternative source to compensate the increasing groundwater withdrawal [1,3,4].…”

“…Diverse phenomena such as mix pumping from several aquifers with different quality, heating and cooling water by ground-source heat pumps, underground storage of waste, injecting industrial effluents into aquifers, and the artificial recharge of aquifers (e.g., protecting depression cone in cities by groundwater injection well) [12] can be considered as point sources of pollution for deep aquifers. Additionally, shallow aquifers may be polluted by nonpoint sources, such as the infiltration of chemical fertilizers and pesticides used in agriculture via leaching into irrigation water [4,5], and then leakage recharge deep aquifers as nonpoint sources in depression cones [3,4]. Such pollution sources and groundwater exploitation from deep aquifers will exert great influence over groundwater resources of deep aquifers by profoundly altering their hydrochemistry, causing many problems such as the deterioration of wetlands [13], land subsidence [14], seawater intrusion [15,16], a decline in groundwater levels, and building damage [14].…”

A series of environmental and geological problems have been caused by overexploitation of confined aquifers (i.e., deep groundwater) in the Yinchuan region, northwest China. Accordingly, the characteristics of confined water were analyzed and collected from 33 sampling wells in spring of 2011, to determine the factors that influenced the composition and evolution of confined water, using principal component analysis (PCA), correlation analysis, groundwater evolution, and mineral dissolution/precipitation analysis. PCA showed that the hydrochemistry of confined water is controlled mainly by the dissolution of minerals, mixing between the confined aquifer and polluted phreatic water, and effects of ion exchange in the study area. The following management actions recommended were essential, in order to enable the sustainable exploitation of confined water: (1) gradually decreasing the amount of groundwater pumped from confined aquifer in the central part of the depression cone, (2) upgrading the quality of phreatic water, and (3) increasing artificial recharge of the groundwater system by flood waters in the Helan leaning pluvial plain.
