Abstract: In order to better protect the karst groundwater resources of Feicheng Basin, paper evaluated the groundwater pollution disaster based on the groundwater pollution investigation of the study area. Results show that the high pollution disaster areas are mainly distributed in plain area of Feicheng Basin, the moderate pollution disaster areas are mainly distributed in the downtown of Feicheng City and Wangguadian Town, the rest of the area are the low pollution disaster area.

Abstract: Groundwater refers to the subsurface water that occurs beneath the water table in geological formation that are fully saturated. 95% of the water used for human production and living comes from groundwater. But now, the pollution degree of groundwater resources is serious, which is a serious threat to human. In order to capture groundwater pollution's situation, groundwater pollution detection should be carried out. Because of the geophysical methods are of low cost, high speed and the characteristics of in-situ nondestructive, people often used geophysical methods for groundwater pollution detection. Geophysical prospecting contains a lot of methods, and the researchers often use resistivity sounding method, ground penetrating radar method, high density resistivity method and seismic reflection method to detect the pollution condition of groundwater.

Abstract: The optimization approach is common approach to solve complex PSI issues. Most researches on the optimization approach focus on the solution method of the optimization model and improving modeling efficiency. In this paper, we give our effort on the influence of estimated pollution range on the groundwater PSI problem and discuss the efficiency and accuracy of 1D and 2D PSI problems. The estimated pollution range of PSI problem could affect how much calculated time would be consumed. The bigger the estimated range is, the more time is consumed. Increasing the dimension of the PSI problem will increase the estimated range greatly, and leads to a great time consuming. A slight movement of the estimated source in the direction perpendicular to the major migrate direction leads to big bias between the calculated source location and the real location. The chance that optimization model falls into the local optimum location is growing in the major migration direction.

Abstract: Risk-based corrective action (RBCA) is a scientifically-accepted approach to remediate polluted sites. Under the RBCA approach, the risks to human health associated with polluted sites are assessed and appropriate remedial measures are taken to reduce risks. RBCA evaluations involve the use of risk models to assess health risks to different receptors. In Taiwan, the Soil and Groundwater Remediation Act was enforced in 2000. The government of Taiwan also use risk assessment protocols to obtain acceptable remediation goals for polluted sites with low risks. In this study, the application of risk assessment to derive remediation goals and develop remedial strategies at a fuel-oil spill site were performed. After the risk evaluation, the soil and groundwater remediation goals for total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) were determined. The remediation levels meet with the requirements for minimum target risk levels (cancer risk = 1×10^-6 and hazard quotient = 1). The developed risk-based cleanup goals are calculated based on actual land use and exposure pathways rather than on assumed maximum exposure. After the completion of RBCA process, the remediation cost can be significantly reduced. Based on the risk assessment results, source zone remediation, natural attenuation, and long term monitoring were recommended as the remediation strategies of the studied site to reduce risks to human health. Results from this study provide a streamlined process for future risk assessment work at petroleum-hydrocarbon polluted sites in Taiwan. RBCA is a sound and defensible basis for site closure, and it offers a more logical framework for making site closure decisions.

Abstract: Xuzhou city lies on the north of Jiangsu province, which geological conditions are complex, water resources are deficient and environment is vulnerable. At present, water pollution in Kui river area is very serious; Kui River nitrogen pollution had affected Coastal soil and chemical environment of groundwater. The monitoring sections are elected in the seriously polluted river, and downstream at the banks of river decorates with six monitoring sections. Each section from the river bank of 50m, 100m, 200m, 500m, 1000m, 1500m is arranged of monitoring points respectively, and each monitoring point is monitored for sampling test at different depths. The monitoring results of surface water showed that the content of ammonia-nitrite-nitrate was a decreasing trend along the flow direction. The nitrate nitrogen content would decrease further in December while the ammonium nitrogen content was on the rise, showing that the supplement of nitrogen pollution resources was still insufficient when the denitrification was stronger. The content of ammonium and nitrate nitrogen in soil was higher, and had some regular change features with the change of depth.

Abstract: Groundwater is widely distributed and stability changed.It is the ideal drinking water with good quality and easy application.As well as, it is an important water supply source of the life, industry and agriculture.However, groundwater pollution can't be ignored in China.In this paper, groundwater pollution,groundwater vulnerability evaluation and groundwater water pollution remediation technologies are reviewed through reading a lot of theses in China and other countries. The groundwater vulnerability evaluation of DRASTIC and based on the GIS technology are mainly introduced. According to the evaluation results, appropriate pollution remediation technologies are taken, so as to protect and repair groundwater. I hope this paper can provide some theoretical suggestions for the sustainable development of groundwater in China.

Abstract: It is a kind of low cost and also low power sewage treatment pathway for using sewage in irrigation, one of effective action to protect the water resources sustainable utilization in town. Using sewage in irrigation is a way of reducing operating costs at Malong County. As the yellow soil permeability is low at Malone County and the penetration rate is 1m/d. What’s more, the quality sewage used in irrigation can meet the class A demands, so this article predicted that sewage irrigation will has less impact on the groundwater at Malone County. We can get analogy method and drew experimental plan according to different influence results of water quality, soil and groundwater of Malone County.

Abstract: In recent years, researches of functions of REE on Hydrogeology are carried out all over the world. However, little is known about REE characteristics in polluted place that was affected by human beings. In this article, REE characteristics in groundwater which is polluted by Jiaozishan landfill are summarized, furthermore, hydrogeology condition and current pollution situation of research area are combined to analyze the correlativity between ∑REE and other pollution index, which provide a new thinking for groundwater polluted by garbage dump.

Abstract: Groundwater is an important component of water resources. Compared with surface water, groundwater has slower flow rate and lower capacity of diluting and self-purification. It is difficult to treat the groundwater pollution. Therefore, it is important to protect the groundwater from being polluted for planning and management of groundwater resources. It is considered as an effective method for decision makers and administrators to identify the high risk level of groundwater pollution through groundwater pollution vulnerability assessment. In this study, the most widely used DRASTIC model and GIS software were used to evaluate the groundwater vulnerability of Chengting new district in Shijiazhuang, china. The groundwater vulnerability grades of the study area were divided by the model. The research results could provide scientific basis for the new district planning and construction.

Abstract: Based on the eco-hydrogeological survey, sampling analysis and combined with groundwater flow systems theory, studied a gully gangue yards of Daliuta mine area on groundwater environmental effect. The results showed that pile of coal waste change the original characteristics of groundwater flow systems, the bottom of gangue heap long term immersion in groundwater, the toxic and hazardous substances unleashing, and with the groundwater runoff to the downstream spread. Combined with the eco-hydrogeology and hydrogeochemistry method, using the Loess carry out the gangue vegetation restoration and groundwater pollution remediation: by cover about 0.3m thickness loess at the top of the gangue yards, and planting Alfalfa, Artemisia ordosica, in order to restoration vegetation of the upper part of sites; In the downstream of gangue yards construct the loess permeable reactive barrier, using the loess adsorb the pollutants in the gangue leachate and purify the groundwater. Through the treatment approaches, gangue yards ecological and groundwater environment has been greatly improved.
