Abstract
Quality Assessment of Groundwater from the Coal Bearing Aquifer in the Xinji Coalfield, Anhui Province, China
Highlights
Water is the most important resource in the world, because it is essential for life, and its role played in human activities including the agriculture and industry
Water resources in the area are rich because the Huai River and its tributaries flow through the area
A total of 50 groundwater samples were collected from the coal-bearing aquifers in the four coal mines of the coalfield: 10, 10, 15 and 15 from the Banji, Kouzi, Liuzhuang and Xinji coalmines (Table 1)
Summary
Water is the most important resource in the world, because it is essential for life, and its role played in human activities including the agriculture and industry. Because of the lacking of the surface water resource, the groundwater has played an important role in the development of the area (Chen et al 2005). Near 56% of the water supply for more than 100 million people is provided by groundwater and most of the area use groundwater for irrigation. In some of the cities (Beijing, Shijiazhuang, Handan), the groundwater accounts for more than 70% of the water supply in recent years (Zhang et al 2000)
