Uses of Chloride/Bromide Ratios in Studies of Potable Water

TL;DR: In natural ground water systems, both chlorine and bromine occur primarily as monovalent anions, chloride and Bromide Although dissolution or precipitation of halite, biological activity in the root zone, anion sorption, and exchange can affect chloride/bromide ratios in some settings, movement of the ions in potable ground water is most often conservative Atmospheric precipitation will generally have mass ratios between 50 and 150; shallow ground water, between 100 and 200; domestic sewage, between 300 and 600; water affected by dissolution of Halite, between 1,000 and

Groundwater chemistry and water-rock interactions at Stripa☆

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed groundwaters from near surface to a depth of 1232 m in the Stripa granite and found that the groundwater composition consists of two general types: a typical recharge water of Ca-HCO3 type ( 700 m depth) of high pH (8-10) that reaches a maximum of 1250 mg/L in total dissolved solids (TDS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-parametric trend analysis of water quality data of rivers in Kansas

TL;DR: The results show that concentrations of specific conductance, total dissolved solids, calcium, total hardness, sodium, potassium, alkalinity, sulfate, chloride, total phosphorus, ammonia plus organic nitrogen, and suspended sediment generally have downward trends as mentioned in this paper.

A field investigation of phreatophyte-induced fluctuations in the water table

TL;DR: In this article, a multisite investigation assessed the major controls on diurnal water table fluctuations and the eco-hydrologic insights that can be gleaned from them, and found that spatial and temporal variations in the amplitude of the fluctuations are primarily a function of variations in meteorological drivers of plant water use, vegetation density, type, and vitality.
