英文摘要 | The unsaturated zone (UZ) plays an important link between groundwater and the land surface. The surface pollutants would be retained firstly in the UZ when the UZ is thick and the recharge rate is limited before they percolate into groundwater. This study is dedicated to revealing the groundwater nitrate source and transformation by combining evaluations of the thick UZ (40-75 m) with the saturated zone in a loess aquifer using dual isotopic composition of nitrate from precipitation, soil water, and groundwater. According to the percolation velocity of soil water (0.12-0.14 m/yr), the depth above and below 10 m is taken as the shallow and deep part of the UZ, respectively. Results show that recent human activities have already caused nitrate pollution in the shallow part, which originated from chemical fertilizers, manure, and soil nitrogen. However, the nitrate in the deep part mainly originates from soil nitrogen. Denitrification in the shallow and deep part of the UZ is not evident. The groundwaters are all tritium-free (i.e., recharged before the 1950s), and therefore the water quality has not been affected by recent human activities. The groundwater nitrate concentration ranges from 6.5 mg/L to 19.2 mg/L with an average of 12.6 mg/L and mainly originates from the nitrification of soil nitrogen. Denitrification process is also not evident in groundwater, suggesting that the hydrogeological condition (especially the buffering effect of the thick UZ) controls the migration of nitrate. However, nitrate produced by human activities on the land surface would enter the aquifer eventually, posing a potential risk on water quality in the future. |
