Quantitative Study of Groundwater Recharge Beneath a Village Pond in Loess Tableland Based on Stable Isotopes
[Objective] Groundwater recharge beneath a village pond in the loess tableland was quantitatively studied to provide a theoretical basis for the sustainable utilization of groundwater resources in the study area.[Methods] Soil moisture
and stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of soil water in deep loess profiles (DLP) beneath a village pond and cropland in Changwu loess tableland were measured. The isotopic tracing technique was used to estimate groundwater recharge beneath the village pond.[Results] ① The average soil moisture of DLP beneath the village pond was 25.5%
which was greater than that of cropland (20.6%). ② The values of δD and δ18O of soil water were -117.83‰~-56.66‰ and -16.63‰~-7.72‰
respectively
beneath the village pond
and -81.76‰~-52.03‰ and -10.64‰~-6.35‰ beneath the cropland
respectively. The effect of evaporation on soil water beneath the pond was weaker than it was in cropland
and the stable isotopes of soil water were more negative with larger variation in isotopic composition. ③ The isotope profile of soil water beneath the village pond retained the isotopic signals of large precipitation events
indicating that groundwater was recharged by piston flow beneath the village pond
and had an infiltration velocity of 0.26 m/d. The mean annual recharge rate of groundwater was 134 mm/yr in the pond catchment
accounting for 23.1% of the annual precipitation.[Conclusion] Village ponds are an important recharge source for groundwater in the Loess Plateau. Thus
efforts should be made to strengthen the protection
restoration
and reconstruction of ponds to ensure the continuous recharge and utilization of groundwater in the Loess Plateau.
