“…Les paramètres de pollution les plus menaçants restent le phosphate (PO Les eaux souterraines constituent une ressource en eau douce des collectivités rurales. Cependant, l'eau captée peut contenir des éléments pouvant avoir des effets indésirables sur la santé, comme des microorganismes pathogènes, des substances indésirables ou même des substances toxiques (Yapo et al, 2010 ;Jang et al, 2012). Ces substances peuvent provenir soit du milieu physique dans lequel l'eau a évolué, soit des rejets de certaines activités humaines dont l'eau est devenue le réceptacle.…”

RESUME L'accès à l'eau potable dans les zones rurales et semi-rurales constitue une préoccupation majeure pour les populations à cause de la qualité de la ressource. L'objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer le degré de pollution des eaux souterraines au Sud de la Côte d'Ivoire. La méthodologie adoptée a consisté à évaluer le niveau de pollution par le suivi de la variation spatiale des teneurs des indicateurs de pollution des eaux consommées. Des tests statistiques ont permis d'avoir l'origine probable des sources de pollution. Les paramètres de pollution les plus menaçants restent le phosphate (PO Mots clés : Eaux souterraines, sels dissous, pollution fécale, Bingerville.

Sci. 11(5): 2495-2509, 2017 2496 in the water pollution indicators levels. Statistical analyses have led to the probable origin of pollution sources. The most threatening pollution parameters remain phosphate (PO 4 3-) and ammonium (NH 4 + ). The statistical analysis show two major phenomena: the surface pollution represented by the factor 1 and the mineralization factors 2 and 3. Minerals (PO 4 3-, NH4+ and NO 3 -) observed in Factor 1 show that ions that threaten these resources quality would come from human activities. Identification and bacteriological analysis of total fecal coliforms, Streptococci and Clostridium perfringens confirmed these results. These bacteria fecal pollution made the water resources unfit for human consumption.

The eastern Tibetan Plateau geothermal belt is one of the important medium-high temperature geothermal belts in China. However, less work has been done on the hydrochemical characteristic and its geological origin. Understanding the chemical characteristics and the hydrochemical evolution processes is important in evaluating the geothermal energy potential in this area. In the present study, we discussed the hydrochemical properties and their origins of 39 hot springs located in the eastern Tibetan Plateau geothermal belt (Kangding-Litang-Batang geothermal belt). Cluster analysis and factor analysis are employed to character the hydrochemical properties of hot springs in different fault zones and the possible hydrochemical evolution processes of these hot springs. Our study shows that the hot springs can be divided into three groups based on their locations. The hot springs in the first group mainly originate from the volcanic rock and the springs in the second group originate from the metamorphic rock while the springs in the third group originate from the result of mixture of shallow water. Water-rock interaction, cation exchange, and the water environment are the three dominant factors that control the hydrochemical evolution process in the eastern Tibetan Plateau. These results are also in well agreement with the isotopic and chemical analysis.

“…When creek water naturally or artificially flows into or onto fumaroles, a mixture of fumarolic gases and creek water in the area forms spring water (Chen and Sung 2009). According to hydrochemical data plotted on a Piper diagram, springs emerging from the Tatun Volcanic Region consist of water containing high levels of SO 4 2− , Cl − , Mg 2+ , and Ca 2+ (Chen and Sung 2009;Jang 2010;Jang et al 2012). The study area contains three primary creeks: North Sulfur Creek, South Sulfur Creek, and Huangkang Creek.…”

Accurately classifying the spatial features of the water temperatures and discharge rates of hot springs is crucial for environmental resources use and management. This study spatially characterized classifications of the water temperatures and discharge rates of hot springs in the Tatun Volcanic Region of Northern Taiwan by using indicator kriging (IK). The water temperatures and discharge rates of the springs were first assigned to high, moderate, and low categories according to the two thresholds of the proposed spring classification criteria. IK was then used to model the occurrence probabilities of the water temperatures and discharge rates of the springs and probabilistically determine their categories. Finally, nine combinations were acquired from the probability-based classifications for the spatial features of the water temperatures and discharge rates of the springs. Moreover, various combinations of spring water features were examined according to seven subzones of spring use in the study region. The research results reveal that probability-based classifications using IK provide practicable insights related to propagating the uncertainty of classifications according to the spatial features of the water temperatures and discharge rates of the springs. The springs in the Beitou (BT), Xingyi Road (XYR), Zhongshanlou (ZSL), and Lengshuikeng (LSK) subzones are suitable for supplying tourism hotels with a sufficient quantity of spring water because they have high or moderate discharge rates. Furthermore, natural hot springs in riverbeds and valleys should be developed in the Dingbeitou (DBT), ZSL, Xiayoukeng (XYK), and Macao (MC) subzones because of low discharge rates and low or moderate water temperatures.
