May 2002 – May 2005 atural and rtificial ystems for echarge and nfiltration Free University of Berlin Hydrogeology Group Nasri: 7 Teams Introduction Algae: Retention and elimination of cyanobacterial toxins (microcystins) (Dr. Chorus/Dr. Bartel, German Environmental Acency). Bacteria: Using bacteriophages, indicator bacteria and viral pathogens for assessing the health risk (Dr. Lopez-Pila, Dr. Szewzyk, German Environmental Acency). Drugs: Occurrence and fate of drug residues and related polar contaminants (Dr. Heberer, Technical University, Dr. Dünnbier, Berlin Water Company). Hydrogeo: Hydrogeological-hydrogeochemical processes using a multi tracer approach (Prof. Pekdeger, Free University) Models: Integrated modelling concepts: coupled groundwater transport and biochemical reactions (Prof. Nuetzmann,Institute for Freshwater Ecology) Organics: Organic substances– process studies (Prof. Jekel, Technical University) BWB: Data management, water sampling, analyses Free University of Berlin Hydrogeology Group Objectives of Nasri Introduction • To ensure the long term sustainability of the groundwater resource and drinking water quality through the bankfiltration and the groundwater recharge process • To expand the Know-How and quantify the relevant processes • To obtain quantitative and qualitative guidelines for proper design and optimised operation of existing sites and for transfer of the integrated knowledge to other locations (use of models etc..) Free University of Berlin Hydrogeology Group Berlin characteristics Introduction • ~ 3.4 million inhabitants • semi-closed water cycle • drinking water derived from Berlin groundwater • ~ 70 % originates from bank filtration • production well galleries adjacent to surface water system Free University of Berlin Hydrogeology Group Factors influencing the raw water quality Introduction Temporal and spatial variation of surface Well design water quality (location, length & depth of filter screens) presence, permeability Processes occurring & thickness of clogging during infiltration Quality of layer background Hydraulic regime Groundwater (mainly a result of pumping (inland and performances) deeper aquifers) Lithology, permeability and geochemistry of aquifer sediments Free University of Berlin Hydrogeology Group Objectives Objectives to use a variety of tracers at several field-sites in order to: • estimate the proportion of treated wastewater in the surface water system • estimate the proportion of bank-filtrate (and likewise deeper and landside groundwater) in the production wells • derive travel times from the surface water to the production wells • understand flow regime Free University of Berlin Hydrogeology Group T/He age dating Methods 3 12.32y 3 H oder T He in water : 1TU 1T / 1018 H0.118Bq/kg Groundwater „age“: t1/2 . 3He* τ = / ln 2 ln (1 + / T ) 10000 Tritium in precipitation t1/2 = 12.32y Ottawa annual mean ³He* = tritiogenic He Valentia annual mean Hof annual mean Hof winter mean 1000 Hof summer mean Berlin annual mean Oder annual mean ation in TU ation r 100 itium concent itium r T 10 1950 1955 1960 1965 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 year data: IAEA,Data BfG : IAEA, BfG Free University of Berlin Hydrogeology Group Overview on applicable tracers in Berlin Methods Tracer: Origin: Useful for the interpretation of: Difficulties: δD, δ18O surface water with seasonal water movement none, conservative tracer variations Temperature surface water with seasonal water movement retarding variations Cl- surface water with seasonal water movement only if influence of saline variations groundwater can be excluded Cl-, Na+, B saline deeper groundwater proportion of deeper saline may vary strongly locally groundwater 2- SO4 dissolution of gypsum derived proportion of shallow “native” may vary strongly locally from building rubble in the groundwater shallow aquifer B surface water, effluent water movement, proportion of bank only if influence of saline filtrate in raw water groundwater can be excluded Gd surface water, effluent water movement, proportion of bank possibly degradable filtrate in raw water EDTA surface water, effluent water movement, proportion of bank sometimes the background filtrate in raw water groundwater has also got very high concentrations Sr surface water, very few proportion of bank filtrate in raw not always applicable seasonal variations water T/He Surface water, through groundwater “age” minimum age required is 2 atmospheric input months Free University of Berlin Hydrogeology Group Mixing calculation Methods X = [Cw-CGW)/(CSW-CGW)]*100 [%] X = Percentage of bank-filtrate in the production well Cw= Tracer concentration in the production well CSW= Tracer concentration in the surface water Cgw= Tracer concentration in the groundwater Free University of Berlin Hydrogeology Group Surface water Results Spatial variations of B and percentage of treated wastewater in the surface water Depending on location in space & time, the proportion of treated wastewater in the surface water can be high.
