Inverse geochemical models of the statistical groups were developed using PHREEQC to elucidate the hydrochemistry characteristics of reclaimed water and the factors. The monitoring results indicated that nitrogen and phosphorus contents were significantly reduced along the river mainly caused by seasonal and location variation. The pH ranged from 7.44 to 9.81. Photosynthesis of algae and denitrification in anaerobic microenvironment ultimately led to a sudden pH increase after the Jian River and the Chaobai River confluence. Mg2＋ and SO^- levels dropped obviously in the summer and increased in winter seasons after intersection. Na＋ and C1- are relatively stable, and marked drop in the concentration only after the two rivers meet. And there is a decrease of Ca2＋ and HCO~ and increase in CO^- during monitoring period. As a whole, the primary ions and nutrient components, including nitrogen and phosphorus, had high levels in winter. Algae＇s photosynthesis and respiration were observed to have an impact on the river water quality; there was precipitation-dissolution of minerals and denitrification from upstream to downstream. Inverse geochemical PHREEQC modeling confirmed that there was precipitation of aragonite or calcite, and gypsum or anhydrite in summer, and dissolution in winter; as well as precipitation of dolomite in winter, and cationic exchange and denitrification along the river.展开更多

To ensure groundwater protection, it is therefore critical to identify the governing factors of groundwater chemistry. Samples of reclaimed water, river and groundwater were collected monthly at Chaobai River from January to September in 2010. Fifteen water parameters were analyzed. Two kinds of reclaimed water were different in type （Na-Ca-Mg-Cl-HCO3 or Na-Ca-Cl-HCO3 ） and concentration of nitrogen. The ionic concentration and type in river were similar to reclaimed water. Some shallow wells near the river bed had the same type （Na-Ca-Mg-Cl-HCO3 ） and high concentration as reclaimed water, but others were consistent with the deep wells （Ca-Mg-HCO3 ）. Using cluster analysis, the 9 months were divided into two periods （dry and wet seasons）, and all samples were grouped into several spatial clusters, indicating different controlling mechanisms. Principal component analysis and conventional ionic plots showed that calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate were controlled by water-rock interaction in all deep and some shallow wells. This included the dissolution of calcite and carbonate weathering. Sodium, potassium, chloride and sulfate in river and some shallow wells recharged by river were governed by evaporation crystallization and mixing of reclaimed water. But groundwater chemistry was not controlled by precipitation. During the infiltration of reclaimed water, cation exchange took place between （sodium, potassium） and （calcium, magnesium）. Nitrification and denitrification both happened in most shallow groundwater, but only denitrification in deep groundwater.展开更多
