摘要
A comprehensive understanding of groundwater dynamics and its interaction with surface water under the influence of agricultural activities is essential for local agriculture, ecology and resident in arid regions, which is poorly understood in arid oasis-desert region. In our study, with emphasis on a comparison of hydrogeochemical characteristics between the oasis (irrigated) and desert (non-irrigated) areas, the water quality and groundwater surface water interaction of a typical oasis-desert system with a rapid irrigation agriculture development were examined to clarify the effects of agricultural activities on groundwater level and quality using stable isotopic and hydrochemical data of 83 water samples. Results showed that cultivated land area increased by 121.8 % (732.4 km2) during 2000 to 2020, mainly transferring from grassland and bare land. Groundwater EC ranged from 786 to 49,400 mu S/cm, with weakly alkaline. Shallow groundwater had a much higher EC than other water components. Stable isotopic and EC values of shallow groundwater in the non-irrigation areas were much greater than those in the irrigation areas, whereas middle groundwater isotopic values were more depleted in the desert than in the oasis. Shallow groundwater EC value was lower in summer, middle groundwater had higher EC in summer. Streamflow and confined water in the study area are suitable for agricultural irrigation, but phreatic water in the oasis is generally not suitable for irrigation at present. The groundwater chemistry was mainly controlled by strong evaporation, dilution, mixing, water-rock interaction and agricultural drainage. Groundwater in the irrigation areas was recharged by ephemeral runoff seepage, irrigation return flow and subsurface lateral inflow. Long-term development of irrigation agriculture (large-scale land reclamation, irrigation and groundwater pumping) in arid region has caused groundwater level decline and salinization, with a strong interaction between phreatic water and surface water. Hence, decreasing irrigation area and groundwater exploitation, carrying out gradual ecological restoration, improving water-saving efficiency and agricultural drainage system would be the viable method to restore groundwater and maintain the oasis-desert ecosystem coexistence in arid regions in the context of climate change.
