Groundwater Monitoring Requirements：地下水监测要求.pptVIP

Basic/reference monitoring: monitoring for state assessment. Aim: establishing a background (reference) situation to enable the determination of trends caused by ‘beyond local’ anthropogenic impacts and natural impacts. For state assessment, long-term records are needed to determine the possible impact of changing land use and pumping patterns through statistical analysis. * * Groundwater Monitoring Requirements managing aquifer response and quality threats Comment on the differences between monitoring for surface and groundwater. WHAT IS GROUNDWATER MONITORING? Groundwater monitoring comprises the collection, analysis and storage of data on a regular basis to provide information for effective groundwater management to a variety of stakeholders. Monitoring makes groundwater visible, if……. Groundwater is invisible GW is invisible. This means that to understand it and its behavious, we have to do a lot of sampling which is generally costly and relatively cumbersome. It also means that GW contamination may go unnoticed for many years, and often it is only apparent when it reaches an exit to open water, e.g a well or a surface water body, and then it may be late to do anything about it. WHY MONITOR? assess and control the impacts and risks of human activities on groundwater quantity and quality detect changes in groundwater storage, flow and quality during well field operation. bridge knowledge gaps in the general understanding of the resource and its changes in time . Reference monitoring Groundwater Status Quo Millions of m3 pumped every year Monitored? Why? Who? How? Use? quantity / quality 100’s of thousands of users Registered? Controlled? 10’s of thousands of wells / boreholes Registered? Maintained? Information - location, abstraction, water levels, water quality, formation etc - 1000’s of sources of pollution Location, nature quantity of pollutants? aquifer vulnerability? 100’s of drillers / consultants Registered?
