Abstract: Due to its dynamic stability and good water quality, karst water in the northern region of China has become an important water source for urban water supply, and industrial and agricultural activities, providing an important support for economic and social development. Karst springs in Jinan City ar...
Abstract: It is an indisputable fact that the process of karstification can form carbon sink, and the research on this process is in the ascendant. However, the factors affecting karstification process are very complicated, and the geological background is one of the most important aspects. The effect mechani...
Abstract: Springs of Jinan City in Shandong Province are typically large karst ones in Northern China. With 136 mouths of springs, there are four major spring groups, namely, Baotu Spring, Heihu spring, Wulongtan spring and Pearl spring, distributed around the moat in the urban area. Springs are the lifeblood...
Abstract: Jinan is famous for its abundant spring water resources, but with the advancement of urbanization, the ground continues to harden, resulting in a significant reduction of the area effectively supplying karst water, and hence a sudden decrease in water supply. The decrease has seriously threatened th...
Abstract: In order to identify the hydraulic connection between the spring water in Jinan city and the karst water in the western and eastern suburbs, we conducted a study to analyze the hydraulic connection between the three from the perspective of stratigraphic structure and hydrodynamic field, combining wi...
Abstract: With the rapid development of social economy, karst groundwater in Jinan City keeps facing various problems such as water resource shortage and water pollution, which seriously threatens the protection of springs and the utilization of groundwater resources. The western suburb of Jinan City is locat...
Abstract: In this study, the effect of human activities on the evolution characteristics of groundwater levels in the water source area of Jiuxian county and its influencing factors have been discussed, based on the data of groundwater levels, annual precipitation, groundwater mining output and karst collapse...
Abstract: Karst is developed in all provinces of China. In Shandong Province, karst is mainly developed in its southwest part, and is sporadically distributed in the Jiaodong area. Particularly, the typical development area is located in the Zhongqiao area of Yantai City—the eastern part of the Jiaodong Penin...
Abstract: The Chengning Uplift Area is one of the important areas rich in extremely abundant geothermal resource in China. At present, geothermal resources in the study area are mostly used in the fields such as bathing, medical treatment, and heating. According to the existing geothermal geological data and ...
Abstract: Groundwater is an important source of freshwater in coastal areas. With the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, the water demand for production and living in coastal areas has been rising year by year. Therefore, the increasing exploitation of groundwater has triggered seawater ...
Abstract: In order to find out the influence of two main factors—precipitation and groundwater exploitation—on the gushing of spring in Jinan urban area, we selected the exploitation data of the western suburb in Jinan (the water source area of Emei Mountain, Dayangzhuang and Lashan), Jinan urban area (the wa...
Abstract: The geothermal area in the northern edge of the Luzhong Uplift is located between Mount Tai and the northwest plain of Shandong. In terms of the geotectonic division, the study area is located in the Luzhong Uplift of the Luxi Uplift in the North China Plate, which is fan-shaped with the arc facing ...
Abstract: Zhangqiu is rich in spring resources, known as the "Little Spring City", and Baimai spring group is among the 72 famous springs in Jinan. In recent years, the flow of Baimai spring group has been cut off for many times, and the competent departments have implemented a series of spring protection mea...
Abstract: As a famous "spring city", karst groundwater used to be the main source of water supply in Jinan City. However, with the acceleration of urbanization and the rapid increase of population, the pressure on urban water supply has increased, and hence the contradiction between supply and demand has beco...
Abstract: The Feicheng area is one of the important industrial bases in Shandong Province with the early development of coal mine, power generation and chemical industry. Besides, vegetable farming is widely distributed. Karst groundwater is the main source of water supply and the only source of drinking wate...
Abstract: Baotu Spring in Jinan City is of great significance in the fields of ecological regulation, history and culture, tourism economy, etc.; therefore, it is urgent to study its hydrogeochemical evolution characteristics and genesis mechanism, so as to provide a scientific basis for the high-quality prot...
Abstract: Affiliated to both Linzi district of Zibo City and Qingzhou City of Weifang City, the Liuzheng water source area belongs to the run-off and drainage area of the Dawu hydrogeological unit. This area plays a significant role in the water supply for residents and enterprises, and thus enjoys an importa...
Abstract: The urban area of Linyi City is endowed with the basic conditions for the development of karst collapse. In this area, Ordovician limestone with karst development is widely distributed, and the limestone is covered by a thin Quaternary overburden with a binary phase structure. From the 1980s to the ...
Abstract: The karst fault basin in Yunnan Province is a typical ecological fragile area in Southwest China, and it is characterized by dramatic topographic changes, coexistence of faulted basins, basins and mountains, and seasonal drought and water shortage, so surface water erosion likely occurs. Soil microo...
Abstract: This study was conducted at seven typical karst areas (Longlin, Lingyun, Donglan, Hechi, Luocheng, Rongshui and Guilin) of Guangxi, China. These areas present subtropical monsoon climate, with annual temperatures averaging from 19.27 ℃ to 20.73 ℃, and the annual rainfall averaging from 1,149.2 mm to...
Abstract: The karst area in Guangxi is characterized by its extensive and typical landform development, covering a total area of 8.334 million hectares, 18.9% of the total karst area in Southwest China and 35.1% of the total land area in Guangxi. This area is marked by poor and shallow soil, dominated by shru...
