Distribution Characteristics And Formation Mechanism Of High Salinity Groundwater In Northeast Ningdong Coalfield, Jin Dewu, Wang Tiantian, Zhao Baofeng, Li Debin, Zhou Zhenfang, Shang Hongbo Jul 2022

Distribution Characteristics And Formation Mechanism Of High Salinity Groundwater In Northeast Ningdong Coalfield, Jin Dewu, Wang Tiantian, Zhao Baofeng, Li Debin, Zhou Zhenfang, Shang Hongbo

Coal Geology & Exploration

High salinity groundwater is widely and unevenly distributed in northeast Ningdong Coalfield of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and it varies greatly throughout the coalfield. This paper studies the distribution characteristics and formation mechanism of high salinity groundwater. Firstly, spatial distribution characteristics of high salinity groundwater was researched, and then, Piper trilinear graph, Gibbs graph and ion proportionality coefficient were used to investigate the formation mechanism of high salinity groundwater. The results show that groundwater salinity value varies from 0.30 g/L to 23.56 g/L, and the average value is 5.84 g/L. The proportions of fresh water, brackish water, salt water and …


Relationship Between Ndvi And Hydromet Factors In Grassland Area Of Open-Pit Coal Mine, Zhang Yan, Huang Xuanming, Chen Shi, Shi Bingxing Aug 2020

Relationship Between Ndvi And Hydromet Factors In Grassland Area Of Open-Pit Coal Mine, Zhang Yan, Huang Xuanming, Chen Shi, Shi Bingxing

Coal Geology & Exploration

The groundwater level of an open-pit coal mine in the grassland area of the east Inner Mongolia has been decreasing continuously under the condition of long-term drainage. In order to study whether the growth of vegetation around the mining area was affected by the decline of groundwater level, the NDVI method was used to analyze the change trend of vegetation index in the study area from 2013 to 2019. Based on the joint entropy theory, the mutual information between NDVI and different meteorological and hydrological elements(temperature, rainfall and groundwater depth)were calculated, and the main influencing factors of vegetation growth were …


Spatial Distribution And Formation Of Groundwater Hydrochemistry In Huainan Coalfield, Wang Zitao, Liu Qimeng, Liu Yu Oct 2019

Spatial Distribution And Formation Of Groundwater Hydrochemistry In Huainan Coalfield, Wang Zitao, Liu Qimeng, Liu Yu

Coal Geology & Exploration

In order to study the spatial distribution of groundwater in Huainan coalfield and the intensity of various hydrochemical actions, the coalfied is divided into the northern district with thicker loose beds and the southern district with thinner loose beds. Hydrochemical test data of main water-inrushing aquifers in 16 mines in these two areas were collected and statistically analyzed, ion combination method and Gibbs diagram were used to study the groundwater hydrochemical characteristics of each aquifer in north and south areas. The results indicate that TDS of aquifer is positively correlated with the burial thickness of unconsolidated formation. With the increase …


Hawai'i Wildlife Fund V. County Of Maui, Lowell J. Chandler Apr 2018

Hawai'i Wildlife Fund V. County Of Maui, Lowell J. Chandler

Public Land & Resources Law Review

In Hawai’i Wildlife Fund v. County of Maui, the Ninth Circuit held that the plain language of the Clean Water Act provides jurisdiction over indirect discharges of pollutants from a point source into groundwater that is shown to be connected to navigable waters. The court found that studies confirmed pollutants entering the Pacific Ocean were fairly traceable to the County of Maui’s sewage disposal wells. In affirming the district court’s ruling, the Ninth Circuit held that Maui County violated the Clean Water Act by discharging pollutants into a navigable water without the required permit. The court also concluded the …
