High naturally occurring radioactivity in fossil groundwater from the Middle East.
High levels of naturally occurring and carcinogenic radium isotopes have been measured in low-saline and oxic groundwater from the Rum Group of the Disi sandstone aquifer in Jordan. The combined 228Ra and 226Ra activities are up to 2000% higher than international drinking water standards. Analyses of the host sandstone aquifer rocks show 228Ra and 226Ra activities and ratios that are consistent...
متن کاملRadium geochemistry of ground waters in Paleozoic carbonate aquifers, midcontinent, USA
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the processes controlling the distribution and behavior of the longerlived Ra isotopes in continuous Paleozoic carbonate aquifers of parts of Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Activities of (Ra) and (Ra) were analyzed in fresh and saline ground waters, brines, and rocks. The ̄uids have a wide salinity range (200±250,000 mg lÿ1 total dissolved solids). Th...
متن کاملDetecting infiltration and impacts of introduced water using strontium isotopes.
Water introduced to surface drainages, such as agricultural and roadway runoff, mine drainage, or coalbed natural gas (CBNG)-produced water, potentially can be of environmental concern. In order to mitigate potential environmental effects, it may be important to be able to trace water discharged to the surface as it infiltrates and interacts with near-surface aquifers. We have chosen to study w...
متن کاملSurface Water–groundwater Interaction in the Fractured Sandstone Aquifer Impacted by Mining-induced Subsidence: 2. Hydrogeochemistry
Water quality along the Waratah Rivulet in the Woronora Lake Catchment, New South Wales (NSW), Australia, has been monitored during the last three years by the Sydney Catchment Authority. Water quality data shows changes in chemical composition due to cracking of streambeds and rockbars, and diversion of surface water into subsurface routes in the Hawkesbury Sandstone aquifer. Water quality ups...
متن کاملHydrogeochemical Processes, Mixing and Isotope Tracing in Hard Rock Aquifers and Surface Waters from the Subarnarekha River Basin, (east Singhbhum District, Jharkhand State India)
2 Abstract The chemical and isotopic compositions of river and groundwater reflect the different natural processes that provide chemical elements to the dissolved load, i.e. mainly the weathering of rocks and soils, atmospheric inputs and anthropogenic disturbances. This study reports on the geochemistry of surface-and groundwater along a part of the Subarnarekha River system (northeastern Indi...
