Title Coastal groundwater salinization: Focus on the vertical variability in a multi-layered aquifer through a multi-isotope fingerprinting (Roussillon Basin, France) Type Journal Article
Year 2016 Publication Science of The Total Environment Abbreviated Journal
Volume 566-567 Issue Pages 398-415
Keywords Groundwater salinization, Coastal aquifer, Roussillon Basin, Isotopes, Westbay System, Barcarès and Canet sites
Abstract The Roussillon sedimentary Basin (South France) is a complex multi-layered aquifer, close to the Mediterranean Sea facing seasonally increases of water abstraction and salinization issues. We report geochemical and isotopic vertical variability in this aquifer using groundwater sampled with a Westbay System® at two coastal monitoring sites: Barcarès and Canet. The Westbay sampling allows pointing out and explaining the variation of water quality along vertical profiles, both in productive layers and in the less permeable ones where most of the chemical processes are susceptible to take place. The aquifer layers are not equally impacted by salinization, with electrical conductivity ranging from 460 to 43,000μS·cm−1. The δ2H–δ18O signatures show mixing between seawater and freshwater components with long water residence time as evidenced by the lack of contribution from modern water using 3H, 14C and CFCs/SF6. S(SO4) isotopes also evidence seawater contribution but some signatures can be related to oxidation of pyrite and/or organically bounded S. In the upper layers 87Sr/86Sr ratios are close to that of seawater and then increase with depth, reflecting water–rock interaction with argillaceous formations while punctual low values reflect interaction with carbonate. Boron isotopes highlight secondary processes such as adsorption/desorption onto clays in addition to mixings. At the Barcarès site (120m deep), the high salinity in some layers appear to be related neither to present day seawater intrusion, nor to Salses-Leucate lagoonwater intrusion. Groundwater chemical composition thus highlights binary mixing between fresh groundwater and inherited salty water together with cation exchange processes, water–rock interactions and, locally, sedimentary organic matter mineralisation probably enhanced by pyrite oxidation. Finally, combining the results of this study and those of Caballero and Ladouche (2015), we discuss the possible future evolution of this aquifer system under global change, as well as the potential management strategies needed to preserve quantitatively and qualitatively this water resource.

Title Lithium and its isotopes as tracers of groundwater salinization: A study in the southern coastal plain of Laizhou Bay, China Type Journal Article
Year 2019 Publication The Science of the Total Environment Abbreviated Journal Sci Total Environ
Volume 650 Issue Pt 1 Pages 878-890
Keywords Brine and seawater intrusion; Groundwater salinization; Hydrochemistry; Lithium isotope; Southern coastal plain of Laizhou Bay
Abstract In the southern coastal plain of Laizhou Bay, due to intensive exploitation of groundwater since the early 1970s, the shallow aquifer has been severely influenced by saltwater intrusion, which causes the extraction to shift from shallow to deeper aquifer changing the hydrogeological condition greatly. This study was conducted to investigate the groundwater salinization using hydrochemistry and H, O and Li isotope data. Dissolved Li shows a linear correlation with Cl and Br in seawater, brine and saline groundwater indicating the marine Li source, whereas the enrichment of Li in surface water, brackish and fresh groundwater is impacted by dissolution of silicate minerals. The analyses of hydrochemistry and isotopes (H, O and Li) indicate that brine originated from seawater evaporation, followed by mixing processes and some water-rock interactions; shallow saline groundwater originated from brine diluted with seawater and fresh groundwater; deep saline groundwater originated from seawater intrusion. The negative correlation of δ(7)Li and Li/Na in surface water, brackish and fresh groundwater is contrary to the general conclusion, indicating the slow weathering of silicate minerals and hydraulic interaction between surface water and shallow groundwater in this area. The analyses of hydrochemistry and isotopes (Li, H and O) can well identify the salinity sources and isotope fractionation in groundwater flow and mixing, especially groundwater with high TDS. As both mixing with saltwater and isotope fractionation can explain the combination of high δ(7)Li and low TDS in brackish groundwater, isotope fractionation may limit their use in recognizing salinity sources of groundwater with low TDS.

Title Hydrochemistry in coastal aquifer of southwest Bangladesh : origin of salinity Type Journal Article
Year 2018 Publication Environmental Earth Sciences Abbreviated Journal
Volume 77 Issue 2 Pages 20
Keywords Hydrochemistry,Stable isotope,Seawater intrusion,Coastal aquifer,Bangladesh,DAR-ES-SALAAM,SEAWATER INTRUSION,DELTA PLAIN,GROUNDWATER,DRINKING,TANZANIA,DROUGHT,COMPLEX
Abstract In the coastal region of Bangladesh, groundwater is mainly used for domestic and agricultural purposes, but salinization of many groundwater resources limits its suitability for human consumption and practical application. This paper reports the results of a study that has mapped the salinity distribution in different aquifer layers up to a depth of 300 m in a region bordering the Bay of Bengal based on the main hydrochemistry and has investigated the origin of the salinity using Cl/Br ratios of the samples. The subsurface consists of a sequence of deltaic sediments with an alternation of more sandy and clayey sections in which several aquifer layers can be recognized. The main hydrochemistry shows different main water types in the different aquifers, indicating varying stages of freshening or salinization processes. The most freshwater, soft NaHCO3-type water with Cl concentrations mostly below 100 mg/l, is found in the deepest aquifer at 200-300 m below ground level (b.g.l.), in which the fresh/saltwater interface is pushed far to the south. Salinity is a main problem in the shallow aquifer systems, where Cl concentrations rise to nearly 8000 mg/l and the groundwater is mostly brackish NaCl water. Investigation of the Cl/Br ratios has shown that the source of the salinity in the deep aquifer is mixing with old connate seawater and that the saline waters in the more shallow aquifers do not originate from old connate water or direct seawater intrusion, but are derived from the dissolution of evaporite salts. These must have been formed in a tidal flat under influence of a strong seasonal precipitation pattern. Long dry seasons with high evaporation rates have evaporated seawater from inundated gullies and depressions, leading to salt precipitation, while subsequent heavy monsoon rains have dissolved the formed salts, and the solution has infiltrated in the subsoil, recharging groundwater.

Title Agricultural impact on Mediterranean alluvial aquifers: do groundwater communities respond? Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication Fundamental and Applied Limnology/Archiv für Hydrobiologie Abbreviated Journal
Volume 182 Issue 4 Pages 271-282
Keywords alluvial aquifers, groundwater, stygobiont, nitrate, overexploitation
Abstract In Mediterranean countries agricultural development heavily depends on groundwater availability due

to arid and semi-arid climate and poor surface-water resources. Agriculture represents one of the most relevant

pressures which generate impacts in alluvial aquifers by means of fertilizers and pesticides usage and groundwater

overexploitation. Until now, very few studies have addressed the ecological response of groundwater fauna to

groundwater contamination and overexploitation due to agricultural practices. We investigated a Mediterranean

alluvial aquifer heavily affected by nitrates contamination and groundwater abstraction stress due to crop irrigation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of groundwater communities to (a) groundwater nitrate

contamination, (b) groundwater abstraction due to irrigation practices, and (c) saltwater intrusion. The present

work suggests that nitrate concentration lower than 150 mg l

–1 is not an immediate threat to groundwater biodiversity in alluvial aquifers. This conclusion must be carefully considered in the light of the total lack of knowledge

of the effects of long-term nitrate pollution on the groundwater biota. Moreover, local extinctions of less tolerant

species, prior to monitoring, cannot be ruled out. Conversely, species abundances in ground water are affected by

groundwater withdrawal, but species richness may be less sensitive. This result is attributable to the disappearance

of saturated microhabitats and to the depletion of fine unconsolidated sediments, reducing the surface available

to bacterial biofilm, which represent the trophic resource for several groundwater invertebrates and where the

main aquifer self-purification processes, such as denitrification, take place. Saltwater intrusion seems not to affect

groundwater species at the values measured in this coastal aquifer.
