▼ A monitoring network in the alpine Brighton Basin was established to examinethe relationship between air, ground, and noble gas groundwater recharge temperatures.Maximum noble gas groundwater recharge temperatures from 25 samples collected over2 years averaged 2.9±1.2 °C, within the experimental error of the mean groundtemperature of 2.3 °C , and vary from 0 to 7 °C, also comparable to ground temperaturevariations. Mean ground temperatures in the upper 1 m of soil over the 2 years were 1 °Ccooler than mean air temperatures. This offset is explained by modeling a snow effect onground temperature. This study indicates that interpretation of groundwater rechargetemperatures derived from noble gases should be attentive to the local groundtemperature effects in recharge areas.Two-dimensional modeling of fluid flow and heat transport are used to quantifyeffects of groundwater flow on the subsurface thermal regime and determine the lowerlimit of recharge rates that will produce an observable perturbation such that groundwatertemperatures can be used to constrain them. The greatest temperature perturbations occurin the deepest portion of the recharge area. At recharge rates of 10 mm yr"1 or less, thehydrologic disturbance to the subsurface thermal regime is almost completely dependenton the recharge rate. At recharge rates higher than this, the hydrologic disturbance isdependent on both the recharge rate and permeability. At recharge rates of 50 mm yr"1and greater, the plume of colder water persists towards the discharge area and could beeasily measured and used to constrain recharge rates to the system.The Snake Valley area groundwater system was simulated using a threedimensionalmodel incorporating groundwater flow and heat transport. This studyrepresents one of the first regional modeling efforts to include calibration to groundwatertemperatures. The inclusion of temperature observations reduced parameter uncertaintiesover using just water-level altitude and discharge observations. The distribution ofsimulated transmissivity includes areas of high transmissivity within and betweenhydrographic areas. Increased well withdrawals within these areas will likely affect alarge portion of the study area, resulting in decreasing groundwater levels and dischargeto springs and evapotranspiration.

▼ The study was aimed at contributing to the provision of good quality groundwater supply in Petauke District. It comprised collection and analysis of 50 groundwater samples from boreholes in the dry and wet season in Petauke Town. Water exit points were sterilised before collection of samples. Physical properties were assessed on-site using potable pH and conductivity meters, whereas samples for chemical and microbiological analysis were collected in sterilised bottles and transported to the Environmental Engineering Laboratory at the University of Zambia for analysis. In the laboratory, the numbers of total and faecal coliforms were determined using the membrane filtration technique whereas for chemical analysis, samples were analysed for major ion chemistry using the standard methods after APHA (1998). The quality of analytical data was evaluated by computing the ionic balances for all the samples.Furthermore, data for the major ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, SO42-, Cl-, CaCO3 2-,HCO3 2-) were plotted on the Piper diagram so as to understand the evolution of hydro-chemical parameters of groundwater in the town. Groundwater classification was done after WHO (2006) whereas temporal variability of water quality between the dry and wet season was assessed using the ANOVA. The suitability of water for drinking was assessed by comparing the data obtained in the field and laboratory analysis to the WHO (2008) and ZABS (2008) limits. Parameters with values above the limits were identified as groundwater contaminants in the town.The study revealed that groundwater in the town was characterised by low pH (6.17),high iron (2.63 mg/l) and high bicarbonate content (609.6 mg/l), high total hardness (as 598 mgCaCO3/l) and the abundance of major ions were in the order of Ca > Mg >Na> K = HCO3 > Cl >SO4. Hydrochemical facies identified were Ca-HCO3 and Ca (Mg) HCO3 type. Fifty eight percent of groundwater was hard, 26% was moderately hard, 14% was very hard and only 2% was soft. Observed values of most of the parameters fell within the ZABS and WHO guidelines for drinking water except for nitrate (10%), total colifoms (72%), faecal coliforms (56%), pH (28%), iron (24%) and total hardness (58%). The ANOVA showed that there was no significant seasonal variation in groundwater quality. Groundwater contaminants in the town were found to be total and faecal coliforms, nitrate, pH, iron and total hardness. Groundwater in Petauke Town belongs to the CaHCO3 and Ca (Mg) HCO3 group and is hard. Most of the boreholes (75%) were microbiologically contaminated. There was no seasonal variability in groundwater quality and most of the parameters fell within the WHO/ZABS guidelines for drinking water except total and faecal coliforms, total hardness, turbidity, nitrates, nitrites pH and iron which were identified as contaminants. The over-abundance of carbonates, iron and calcium are naturally caused whereas microbiological pollution and excess nitrates are caused by anthropogenic activities. To prevent the effects of…

▼ Humanity relies on groundwater. But, current consumption may be outpacing groundwater renewal rates, and anthropogenic activities are altering its quality. This dissertation advances the state of knowledge of how local and regional groundwater dynamics affect its quality and quantity. First, I investigate groundwater discharge patterns and fluxes in three lakes in the Nebraska Sand Hills region and on the island of Rarotonga, Cook Islands, to understand the hydrologic connection between groundwater and surface water in these lacustrine and coastal settings. In Nebraska, I use electrical geophysical methods to characterize the spatial signature of groundwater recharge and discharge to and from the lakes using groundwater salinity patterns. On Rarotonga, a detailed field study of groundwater flow at the intertidal zone shows how groundwater flow influences the thermal regimes of nearshore environments, affecting the biota that live and chemical processes that occur near and below this dynamic interface. Next, a dense network of geophysical surveys across the coastal plain and into the lagoon on Rarotonga constrains multiple features of the larger-scale hydrologic system that are primarily controlled by the local carbonate and volcanic geology on the island. Finally, I give the first estimate of the global storage and spatial distribution of groundwater with a mean age since recharge of less than fifty years. I use several thousand two-dimensional groundwater flow and age-as-mass transport simulations parameterized by the best available hydrologic and geologic datasets. This global analysis suggested that ~6% of the groundwater stored in the upper 2 km of the Earth’s crust is younger than 50 years. Comparing this young groundwater storage to current groundwater depletion rates indicates that more than half of the irrigated areas depending significantly on groundwater could have already used up all of the young groundwater and are using groundwater more quickly than the storage is replenished. Together, these studies advance how to quantify groundwater as a renewable resource through the global estimation of groundwater storage associated with certain timespans and by analyzing the implications of groundwater flow on water quantity and quality in field settings.

▼ Chloroform (CHCl₃) has been considered for a long time as an anthropogenic contaminant which is known to be possibly carcinogenic to humans. Chloroform is also an important contributor to gaseous chlorine in the atmosphere and may catalyze some chemical reactions in the lower atmosphere. The presence of chloroform in aquatic and terrestrial environments has been widely demonstrated. The frequent detection of chloroform in forest soils, peatland and groundwater in absence of other anthropogenic contaminants suggests that chloroform may be produced naturally by biogeochemical processes. Numerous studies on natural organohalogens have suggested that enzymes such as haloperoxidases (e.g. chloroperoxidase from <i>Caldariomyces fumago</i>) and halogenases excreted by some fungi, plants and bacteria could play an important role in biosynthesis of chlorinated organic compounds in soils. Although the natural formation of chloroform in some forest soils and peatlands is rather well establish, it is difficult to demonstrate a natural origin of chloroform in groundwater as chloroform is widely used as solvent or chemical reagent and can be transported over extended distances from anthropogenic sources. For risk assessment and to implement appropriate remediation measures, there is a need for methods to differentiate between natural and anthropogenic chloroform. Moreover, little is known about the mechanisms leading to the formation of natural chloroform in the terrestrial environment. This PhD thesis investigates if stable isotope methods can be used to distinguish between different sources of chloroform and provide additional insight into the mechanism of natural chloroform formation. It is expected that anthropogenic and natural chloroform have a different isotope signature due to the differences in the origin of the carbon and formation mechanisms. To evaluate the feasibility of the method, the isotope signature of chloroform was characterized at forested sites where chloroform is likely produced naturally and compared to the isotope signature in underlying groundwater. In addition, the isotope composition of industrial chloroform and chloroform at sites with known anthropogenic contamination was evaluated. Based on previous studies, chloroform formation might proceed via the formation of trichloroacetyl-containing compounds (TCAc) from which chloroform is released by hydrolysis. To confirm this hypothesis, the concentration and isotope ratio of TCAc was quantified as well at the sites where natural chloroform production was observed. The mechanism of chloroform formation and factors that control the isotope ratio of chloroform were investigated in more detailed using laboratory chlorination experiments. In addition to NOM, simple model compounds were used which make it easier to relate observed isotope trends to underlying reaction mechanisms. Chlorination was induced by using chloroperoxidase (CPO) and HOCl, which is expected to be the active compound also during enzymatic chlorination. A first set of… Advisors/Committee Members: Daniel (Dir.).

▼ A combined geophysical survey using vertical electrical sounding (VES) and gravity methods was conducted to investigate groundwater potential zones and geological structures at Wobok- Dilo area, Borena zone, in South Ethiopia. The area being dominantly of basement rock lithology with interspersed volcanics and with scarcely known groundwater potential, the main objectives of this study were to map groundwater potential zones and determine depth to the basement. Geologically, the Wobok-Dilo area lies on dominantly volcanic terrain. The exposed basaltic formations over the area are highly vesicular and scoracious basalts. The geophysical surveys included twenty one (21) VES points, using Schlumberger electrode array ,with maximum half current electrode spacing AB/2=1000m and 103 gravity measuring points. These were interpreted both qualitatively and quantitatively in order to infer the subsurface geology and identify aquifer bearing horizons. The qualitative analysis of VES data were performed by using pseudodepth sections and different apparent resistivity maps. Similarly, the qualitative interpretations of gravity data were performed by using different gravity anomaly maps. The quantitative interpretations of the VES data were conducted by modeling the VES data using ResixIP and WinResist modeling software and constructing geoelectric sections along selected survey lines, using the result from individual VES point interpretations. The depth and lithologic units from the borehole was used to constrain the parameters during the modeling of VES data. The information from the VES data and the borehole were also used to constrain the depth information in the gravity modeling which were conducted on one survey line. The VES results revealed six to seven main geoelectric layers which differ in degree of weathering, fracturing, composition and depth of burial. The geoelectric sections enabled to identify the depth to the aquifer along survey lines whereas the gravity model helped to identify basement undulation and map structures. Finally, the overall interpretation was done by integrating all the above results together with the topographic maps and borehole information. As a result of these, geologic structures and groundwater potential zones are identified and drilling sites for potentially productive boreholes are recommended.

A study of relationship between groundwater ingress and regional geology on Hong Kong Island by Pre-Excavation Grouting (PEG) has been carried out by examining the changes in groundwater inflow during the tunnel excavation. In this study, I would like to make reference to Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATS) Stage 2A project. HATS is a government infrastructure project in Hong Kong commenced in 1990s which aims to improve the water quality of the Victoria Harbour. The goal of this scheme is to implement a fully integrated system that collect and treat all wastewater discharged to the Harbour in an efficient, effective and environmentally sustainable manner. In this report, Tunnels J, K and L, which is one of the main tunnel project, have been chosen for a comparative analysis study. The objectives of this dissertation includes 1) to study the relationship between groundwater ingress and regional geology through deep tunnel excavation which the tunnel is designed at depth of 160m below sea level; 2) to examine the difference in water ingress between on land and below sea level; 3) to study the changes of water ingress before and after PEG; 4) to examine the relationship between water level changes and ground settlement during the excavation stage. Data has been obtained from various sources, including the Hong Kong Geological Survey (HKGS) archives, technical papers and reports from Drainage Services Department (DSD) and records available from the contractors and consultants. The data has been interpreted by using comparative analysis for the three tunnels. Subject to the water inflow measurement during PEG stage, the rate of water inflow can be obtained. Monitoring records can be made reference to analyze the correlation of groundwater draw down and surrounding settlement. By interpretation of groundwater ingress in three tunnels, it shows that high water inflows are induced during excavation stage. Irrespective to the excavation is in land portion or sub-sea portion, water ingress can be measured. Besides, it provides evidence to show that highest water inflow is encountered in sub-sea portion where the tunnel across the Harbour. The trend of geological structures and water ingress measured from PEG are correlated with the mapping records. The results of the study reveal that fault zones significantly influencing the groundwater flow.

▼ Spatial variations in salinity of pore waters in marine sediments provide useful information on processes and rates of subseafloor fluid flow and solute transport, particularly if there are evaporites in the section. Pore water salinities were determined for 18 drill holes which penetrated allochthonous salt bodies in 12 widely-scattered protraction blocks on the Louisiana offshore continental shelf and slope. Salinities were calculated from Log ASCII Standard-Logging While Drilling (LAS-LWD) logs using the Revil et al. (1998) dual-conductivity technique. The sites represent a wide range of field settings. Water depths range from 30 to 1990 m, depths to the top of salt from the seafloor range from 440 to 5200 m, and salt thicknesses range from 70 to 2000 m. Sediment ages above and below salt and approximate sedimentation rates were determined from Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) paleontological data and range from Miocene to Recent. Sites in eight blocks have concave downward salinity profiles above salt, consistent with transient molecular diffusive transport with possible compaction-driven flow. The salinity profiles were modeled using two scenarios: 1) salt was emplaced at its present depth, and molecular diffusion upward from the top of salt has been the sole solute transport mechanism; 2) salt was emplaced near the seafloor, and there has been progressive burial of salt with compaction-driven advective flow upward since. The time required by molecular diffusion alone tends to exceed the age of the sediments. A better fit in space and time is obtained on the assumption that sediment compaction is also a driving force. Salinities in two blocks increase upward, possibly reflecting lateral flow of brines from shallower salt. Salinities in the two remaining blocks are elevated but constant for distances of 500 to 1000 m above salt and may reflect ponding of brines derived from shallower salt. At sites where there is subsalt information, the salinity profiles are generally convex upward, reflecting probable diffusional transport downward. The results are consistent with an earlier LSU study which concluded that dominant mechanisms of vertical solute transport in deepwater Gulf of Mexico sediments include diffusion and compaction-driven advection.

▼ Globally, as surface water quality and quantity diminishes there is increasing reliance on groundwater to buffer water demands of growing populations. Today in many arid regions around the world aquifer pumping rates far exceed recharge rates. Often the groundwater is nonrenewable, or thousands of years old. Despite the known hydrologic connection between surface and groundwater, existing institutions and laws governing surface water are poorly equipped to manage groundwater. While there are more than 600 international treaties governing surface water, only one treaty worldwide explicitly addresses groundwater allocation. Like many other regions of the world, the treaties covering the Paseo del Norte region shared between Mexico and the United States allocate the quantity and timing of surface water deliveries, yet fail to regulate groundwater abstraction. The three transboundary aquifers shared by two countries and three states (New Mexico/U.S., Texas/U.S., and Chihuahua/MX) within Paseo del Norte study area present an ideal microcosm to closer examine water management institutions across the local, state, national, and international scales. This research assesses the United States and Mexico’s institutional capacity to manage groundwater across each scale. The problem is imminent since the Hueco Bolson transboundary aquifer is the primary source of drinking water for nearly 2 million people and the fresh water is predicted to be completely depleted between 2020-2050. The ultimate objective is to identify which future legal, scientific and economic options can best contribute to more sustainable management of transboundary aquifers without compromising water security in both countries. This research proposes three major paths to move forward: the first step is to increase public awareness of the aquifer exploitation problem; second, for water managers to accurately plan for future water demands there should be a binational groundwater model built by scientists on both sides of the border; third, an international treaty or regional joint agreement is necessary to legally support groundwater management efforts.

▼ Groundwater provides the majority of global water resources for domestic, agricultural, and power use while contributing surface baseflows to support healthy aquatic ecosystems. Understanding the extent and magnitude of hydrologic connectivity between groundwater and surface water components in karst watersheds is essential to the prudent management of these hydraulically-interactive systems. The objective of this research was to examine groundwater and surface water connectivity between the Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) and streams in the Lower Flint River Basin (LFRB) where development of agricultural irrigation intensified over the past 30 years. An analysis of USGS streamflow data for the pre- and post-irrigation period showed summer baseflows in Ichawaynochaway and Spring Creek were reduced by an order of magnitude in the post-irrigation period, indicating the strong hydraulic connection between these streams and the underlying aquifer. These data also revealed steeper annual and seasonal baseflow recession occurring within Ichawaynochaway Creek associated with periods of intensive regional groundwater pumping rather than climatic patterns. Between 2010 and 2011 physiochemical monitoring on 50 km of Ichawaynochaway Creek confirmed close hydraulic associations between this stream and the UFA. Specific conductivity was highly correlated with Ca2+ and indicated as much as 42% of groundwater consistently entered through five out of the 50 reaches sampled. Stable isotope values (δ18O and δD) detected rapid turnovers in the quality and source of baseflow between sampling events and no significant connection between the UFA and depressional wetlands or the surficial aquifer in the study area. Finally, a large scale comparison performed to detect patterns in geomorphology at the surface, near surface and sub-surface levels, indicated a basin-wide NNW trend was shared in stream reach direction, bedrock joint azimuths and orientation of conduits in regional phreatic caves which is in agreement with tectonic fracturing. The dominant N-S trend in stream reach direction suggested regional fluvialgeomorphology is significantly influenced by neo-tectonic patterns, but partially adjusted to the tectonic template; therefore, investigating intersecting templates may warrant further investigation. The results of these hydrologic, physiochemical, and geomorphic studies provide data which are immediately useful for informing basin models and methods which are easily transferrable to other basins.

▼ Lake Rotokakahi is located 10 km south of Rotorua and is of immense cultural importance to the local iwi. The lake also has significant historical and recreational values, which prompted iwi to make the lake private in 1996. Lake Rotokakahi is one of several Rotorua/ Te Arawa lakes. Several of these lakes have become eutrophic and some have declining water quality. This study was prompted by declining water quality of Lake Rotokakahi and the need to identify potential sources of nutrients to the lake, particularly groundwater inflows. The interaction between groundwater and surface water has a major influence on the trophic status of lakes, particularly those that are predominantly or solely groundwater fed systems. Lake Rotokakahi has one small spring-fed surface water inflow and one outflow, the Te Wairoa stream. Thus the lake is predominantly groundwater fed. The main objective of this thesis was to quantify the contribution of groundwater and surface water to Lake Rotokakahi and to examine interactions of the groundwater system with the lake, in order to provide a basis to improve lake management practices. Multiple monitoring sites were established around the perimeter of the lake to determine the spatial and temporal variation of groundwater inputs, as well as the groundwater nutrient dynamics. A three-dimensional hydrodynamic lake model was set up and simulations were used to examine how groundwater and surface water inflows were dispersed within the lake upon entry. Monitoring of the shallow groundwater system took place from 1 January to 1 July 2016. Three separate storm events were monitored at high frequency within this monitoring period. The monitoring results showed the groundwater system varied significantly both spatially and temporally and also contributed a high proportion of the total nutrient load to the lake. Groundwater discharge and nutrient concentrations generally increased in association with or immediately following high rainfall events. The three-dimensional model ELCOM was set up using hydrological data for the catchment, meteorological data from a nearby station and bathymetry of the lake. Simulations were based upon different methods of calculating groundwater inflows. Simulation 1 was based upon the common water balance equation method. Simulation 2 used constant groundwater inflow and outflow volumes as determined by a groundwater flow model, MODFLOW, which had been applied to the catchment by White et al., (2015). Simulation 3 combined MODLFOW values and measured groundwater levels to create a varying inflow volume based on water level. The three simulations accurately captured surface and bottom temperatures and had varying lake water levels. Only simulation 3 accurately captured the presence of the groundwater spring near the lake shore and was concluded the more accurate method of groundwater inflow calculation.

▼ The West Gallatin River is closed to new surface water appropriations. Montana law recognizes the potential for new ground-water developments to compromise existing surface-water rights. Determining the effects of new ground-water development upon existing surface-water users requires a detailed understanding of the hydrologic system and the surface and ground water exchanges, which is not available in the Four Corners area of Gallatin County Montana. Hydrologic data was collected during the 2006 water year. Data was collected on stream discharge, streambed hydraulic gradients, temperature, ground-water levels, and specific electrical conductance to characterize zones of upwelling ground water and downwelling surface water. The river and aquifer share a complex hydrologic connection. Some reaches of river gained streamflow from the aquifer and contained zones of downwelling surface water. Other reaches of river which lost water to the aquifer, contained zones of upwelling ground water. Water moved back and forth between the river and aquifer through a variety of hydrologic pathways including; seepage below irrigation canals and irrigated land, drainage ditches from irrigated lands, spring channels, and the porous alluvial riverbed. Ground-water discharge to the stream contributed 8% of the streamflow when no irrigation was occurring in November 2005. In August 2006 during the irrigation season, the volume and relative contribution of ground-water discharge increased to 28% of the streamflow. The data collected from this study was compared to historic water-level data collected during the 1950's and later in the 1990's. This study's analysis benefited from the comparison of surface-water levels to ground-water levels, streambed hydraulic gradients, continuous records of ground-water levels and temperatures from near stream wells. Data from this study indicates that a consistent zone of downwelling surface water was present north of Four Corners which had not been identified in past surveys. However, the baseline data was found to be insufficient for a comparison to this analysis due to a lack of surface water data collected in the previous studies. As a result, it remains unclear whether the zone of downwelling has always been present or represents a change to the hydrologic system at Four Corners.

▼ Contaminant leaching from industrial wastes can have widespread negative impacts on water quality, ecosystem processes, and human health. Low-level radioactive wastes derived from uranium (U) ore processing contain several potentially-hazardous metal(loid)s including U, arsenic (As) and molybdenum (Mo). Predicting the release, transport and attenuation of these and other contaminants is challenging due to complex geochemical behaviour impacting their mobility in soils, sediments and groundwater. The release, transport and attenuation of U, As and Mo in these systems is strongly controlled by pH and redox conditions, which influence both aqueous speciation and mineral solubility. Research was conducted to examine geochemical controls on As, U and Mo mobility within soil contaminated with low-level radioactive waste stored in Waste Management Area F (WMAF) at Chalk River Laboratories (Chalk River, Ontario, Canada). Core samples were collected as a function of depth at several locations in WMAF. Geochemical and mineralogical characteristics of these samples was examined and a subset of samples containing elevated concentrations As, U and Mo was selected for additional study. Sequential extractions and synchrotron-based X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy identified major forms As, U and Mo present in this subset of samples. Column experiments were conducted to examine release of these elements under anoxic and oxic conditions. Batch experiments were performed to quantify potential for As, U and Mo attenuation by sediments underlying WMAF. Results demonstrated that As and U release are strongly controlled by redox conditions and Mo is strongly controlled by pH. In general, As release was greatest under anoxic conditions, while U release was greatest under oxic conditions. In contrast, elevated Mo concentration were observed in leachates generated under both anoxic and oxic conditions. The subsequent mobility of As, U and Mo was reduced via sorption to underlying sediments; however, potential exists for their transport in the groundwater flow system.

▼ Capture zone delineation is a simple analytical tool that has been employed in many aspects of hydrological sciences throughout recent history. While using capture zone remediation techniques, the dilution of the source contaminant is closely examined and monitored. The dilution factor is the ratio of the contaminant concentration in the pumped water over the contaminant source concentration (assumed to be constant) in a pump-and-treat setup. It is important because it provides critical information about the fluid dynamics within the aquifer, and shows how much the source has been diluted within the aquifer. The objective of this thesis is to investigate how changing the source geometry and orientation impacts the dilution factor. The scenario includes an arbitrary line-source length and orientation, fully vertically penetrating well in a homogeneous, horizontally isotropic, confined aquifer. The experiment is set under steady-state conditions. Two analytical models are performed, the first dealing with three subcases consisting of constant source concentrations (cases 1-3), and the second dealing with three subcases cases involving time-dependent source concentrations (cases 4-6). The integrals associated with cases 4- 6 are solved in MATLAB using Gaussian quadrature and Gaussian Kronrod integration methods and demonstrate how each of these source types impacts the dilution factor calculation. After analyzing the results for the first analytical model, the overall conclusion is that the distance between the pumping well and the source is the dominant variable for increasing or decreasing the dilution factor. The source angle and source length also have an impact on the dilution factor. As these values decrease, so do the dilution factor values. The MATLAB model shows differing trends for both of the integration methods (Gaussian quadrature and Gaussian Kronrod) and the source types influence the dilution factor. The finite source decreases rapidly as the last of the source reaches the well, and then slowly flattens out until there is no longer a concentration in the system. The radioactive source and the Gaussian type source decrease with increasing time measurements. The models can be retrofitted for other source types and different variables to fit differing scenarios. Overall, the results will help with planning for future remediation projects, and these models allow for an initial screening test to be done before more robust, time intensive and expensive models can be put into place.
