Abstract
In order to understand the characteristics and origin of groundwater salinization in Taocheng district of Hengshui City, the recharge and salinization procession of shallow groundwater were analyzed with isotopic and geochemical data of the shallow groundwater (buried depth ≤ 100 m) and the soluble salt in boreholes. The results showed that the shallow groundwater was weak alkaline salt water, with the total dissolved solid (TDS) in the groundwater ranging from 176.06 to 17569.65 mg·L-1and the soil total salinity in unconsolidated sediments ranging from 1.830 to 6.509 g·kg-1. The hydrochemical types were mainly SO4·Cl-Na·Mg and Cl·SO4-Na·Ca in the shallow groundwater and the soluble salt. The main recharge resource of shallow groundwater was precipitation with different geological periods. The hydrochemical compositions of shallow groundwater mainly came from the dissolution of halite and sulfate weathering and experienced intense evaporation and the reduction environment. Meanwhile, the groundwater salinization was barely affected by human activities and seawater intrusion.
