Abstract: In karst areas of China, there are many karst caves and underground river conduits in the underground aquifer. The development of large cave and conduit are controlled by many factors and it is not every karst aquifer would develop into conduit system, for example, the southern karst area with ample...
Abstract: The calculation results of water quality monitoring of the acid mine drainage circulation system of Shandi river in Yangquan City, Shanxi Province for many years show that the Ca/Mg value of the acid goaf water in coal mine drainage is generally low. The average value of 257 groups of acid mine drai...
Abstract: Acid mine drainage (AMD) is widespread in coal mining areas such as southwest Shandong, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan and Guizhou. The pH value of acidic mine water often ranges between 2 and 5, with high sulfate, Hb, TDS(Total dissolved solids), Fe, Mn and others. The acidic characteristics of aci...
Abstract: Geyi town, located in the northeast part of Xuanwei karst fault basin on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, shows its geomorphic type of karst area of hump valley where carbonate strata are widely distributed. Because of the complexity of rock formations and external geological rock stress, various types o...
Abstract: The plateau intermountain basin in Yunnan Province is an important water source gathering area, a population gathering and economic activity center, as well as an environmental hydrogeological unit with index significance of the impact and change of water environment. This article reviews the genera...
Abstract: To solve the problem of water shortage in karst plateau mountainous area, this study on the model of development and utilization of surface karst water is conducted. The karst mountainous area in east border of Luxi basin isa typical cluster-peak depression region with an average altitude from 2,100...
Abstract: The Pearl River Basin is the area of first-class water resources at the southernmost end of China. Its geographical location is 102°14′-115°57′ E and 21°35′-26°50′N. The main stream of the Pearl River, with a total length of 2,214 km, flows through Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and Guangdong. The total a...
Abstract: Underground river basins in peak-cluster depressions are main water supply sources of villages in Guangxi. But there exist problems of groundwater exploitation, groundwater pollution and natural disasters in these areas due to a special geological structure. Besides, the karst hydrological process i...
Abstract: As economic pillars of the karst area in south China, industrial cities located in this area play an important role in the promotion of national strategy and economic development. Karst groundwater, the main water source of industrial cities in the karst area, is vital for urban development. Therefo...
Abstract: The long-term interaction between groundwater and karst development in eastern Sichuan has created a unique groundwater runoff pattern and caused a complex hydrogeological problem of karst engineering. Hence, finding out the groundwater runoff pattern in the southern section of Mingyue gorge anticli...
Abstract: Red beds in central Yunnan Province are mainly deposited of continental red clastic rocks. Soluble salts in the red beds are enriched in some sections, generating undrinkable salt water or brackish water. Besides, during water resources exploitation, the improper design and construction of water sup...
Abstract: There are abundant geothermal resources at low-medium temperature in the fold mountain areas of eastern Sichuan, and the main geothermal reservoirs are Leikoupo and Jialingjiang formations. Generally, karst geothermal reservoirs have the advantages of large water volume, easy reinjection of tail wat...
Abstract: During the last glacial period, a series of millennial-scale abrupt climatic events, including Heinrich events and Dansgaard-Oeschger events, exerted influential and profound impacts on the global climate systems. Due to advantages of high resolution, multiple proxies and 230Th dating methods, Chine...
Abstract: The karst geomorphology is widely distributed in central south and southwestern China, especially in western Hunan Province, where speleothems (especially stalagmites) have become one of the most important archives for high-resolution paleoclimatic studies. Stalagmites are mainly composed of calcite...
Abstract: The formation and evolution mechanism of karst rocky desertification is a scientific problem that has been paid increasing attention, and the ecological environment in karst areas is not only fragile, but also unstable. Therefore, the study of karst rocky desertification is of practical significance...
