Screening methodology of groundwater priority-control pollutants: A case study

Abstract

Abstract As an important source of domestic water and drinking water, the groundwater quality is crucial. Reasonable screening of typical groundwater pollutants is crucial for studying groundwater quality. At present, most research in Linyi focus on the distribution and utilization of water resources, few research focuses on groundwater quality. Therefore, this paper introduces a method of screening priority pollutants, that is, the screening method based on pollution assessment. This method can help to clarify research priorities and make targeted recommendations. In this paper, the study area is a Development Zone of Linyi. Based on groundwater monitoring data of November 2012 and November 2017, a screening method of groundwater priority control pollutants based on pollution assessment is applied to screen out typical pollutants of shallow groundwater quality. It will provide reference for future managements and planning of groundwater in the Development Zone. After pollutants screening and assignment calculation, the results show that the typical pollutants in groundwater are nitrite, anionic surfactant, ammonia nitrogen, fluoride, sodium, nitrate, permanganate index, sulfate, chloride, total hardness, total dissolved solids.
