新疆木垒煤田区域地下水补给来源分析

Abstract

Abstract: The coal resources are considerable rich in Mulei region, Xinjiang, China. However, the development of the local coal resources is seriously limited because of the shortage and uneven distribution of water resources. In addition, the water gushing in coal mining process is one of the major threats to the mining safety. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the groundwater recharge sources in Mulei mining area, which is significant for the safety guarantee in mining operations and water suppling. Thirty-three water samples were collected from precipitation, surface water and groundwater in the study area, and by using stable isotopes analysis, water chemistry measurement, radioactive tritium and carbon-14 dating method, the recharge sources were identified and the flow pattern of groundwater was delineated in Mulei mining area, Xinjiang. Oxygen-18 components of the Quaternary unconfined groundwater in the two sides of the boundary line from Dahongliu valley to the middle part of Mingsha mountain had different characteristics; the δ¹⁸O value of groundwater varied from -14.8‰ to -12.8‰ with mean value of -13.9‰ in the west side, and varied from -17.3‰ to 15.4‰ with mean value of -16.1‰ in the east side. This two mean values of δ¹⁸O were 3.2‰ and 5.4‰ lower respectively, than the weighted average δ¹⁸O value of precipitation in Urumqi, indicating that the main recharge source of groundwater in the central area was originated from the higher elevated mountain precipitation, and the recharge elevation was about 1 700-2 300 meters. The low δ¹⁸O value of the Tertiary confined groundwater and the carbon-14 dating results show that the groundwater was recharged under the Late Pleistocene cold climates. Moreover, there was a certain relationship among the Jurassic pore fissure water, the bedrock fissure water and the modern unconfined groundwater; the flow pattern is probably that the bedrock fissure water infiltrated fast into underground through the piedmont permeable layer after seeped from the mountain-pass, and then recharged the fissure water and the Tertiary or Jurassic fissure water. This study is significant for guiding the safety exploitation of mining and security of water supply in Mulei mining area.
