Contaminated groundwater from a pesticide production facility was assessed using whole-organism and in-vitro bioassays to determine the potential for these tests to replace or augment traditional chemical analyses being employed at this site. The groundwater, which is contaminated with ( ) a variety of pesticides organochlorine, organophosphorus, and carbamate insecticides and pesticide ( ) adjuvants spreading agents, emulsifiers, etc. was sampled from an activated-carbon-based on-site remediation system before, during, and after the cleanup procedure. Toxicity was evaluated at each ( ) point using whole-organism 96-h acute Pimephales promelas, chronic 3-brood Ceriodaphnia dubia [ ( ) ᮋ ] and in-vitro submitochondrial particle SMP and Microtox bioassays. Chemical indicator parameters [ ( ) pentachlorophenol, gasoline-range organics GROs , and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes ( )] ( ) BTEX were also measured to compare with bioassay responses. 50% effective concentrations EC s 50 from the different tests indicate that the whole-organism assays were slightly more sensitive than the in-vitro assays: the order of sensitivity was C. dubia) P. promelas) SMP ) Microtox ᮋ , but responses were quite similar. All assays showed decreasing toxicity as cleanup progressed, mimicking the ( ) concomitant decrease in chemical concentration parameters. A toxicity identification evaluation TIE analysis, conducted using the in-vitro bioassays, identified pentachlorophenol as the major contributor to toxicity in the samples with additional contributions likely from other less-prevalent compounds. Results suggest that these in-vitro tests can be credible alternatives to whole-organism bioassays for monitoring remediation of system effluents and that they can complement chemical analyses with useful effects-based toxicity data. ᮊ

“…This research was based on multi-tracing to discern infiltrated river water from autochthonous dune groundwater (locally infiltrated rainwater). Later hydrochemical studies yielded further insight in the performance of various (potential) tracers (Stuyfzand 2010), the behavior of trace elements (Stuyfzand 2015), the behavior of organic micropollutants (Noordsij et al 1985;Hrubec et al 1986Hrubec et al , 1995Stuyfzand 1998b;Greskowiak et al 2006;Stuyfzand et al 2007;Eschauzier et al 2010) and pathogens (Schijven and Hassanizadeh 2000;Schijven 2001;Medema and Stuyfzand 2002). In Israel, at the Shafdan wastewater treatment plant, soil aquifer treatment of recycled water has contributed significantly to groundwater development over many years (Schwarz et al 2016).…”

Sixty years of global progress in managed aquifer recharge

The last 60 years has seen unprecedented groundwater extraction and overdraft as well as development of new technologies for water treatment that together drive the advance in intentional groundwater replenishment known as managed aquifer recharge (MAR). This paper is the first known attempt to quantify the volume of MAR at global scale, and to illustrate the advancement of all the major types of MAR and relate these to research and regulatory advancements. Faced with changing climate and rising intensity of climate extremes, MAR is an increasingly important water management strategy, alongside demand management, to maintain, enhance and secure stressed groundwater systems and to protect and improve water quality. During this time, scientific research-on hydraulic design of facilities, tracer studies, managing clogging, recovery efficiency and water quality changes in aquifers-has underpinned practical improvements in MAR and has had broader benefits in hydrogeology. Recharge wells have greatly accelerated recharge, particularly in urban areas and for mine water management. In recent years, research into governance, operating practices, reliability, economics, risk assessment and public acceptance of MAR has been undertaken. Since the 1960s, implementation of MAR has accelerated at a rate of 5%/year, but is not keeping pace with increasing groundwater extraction. Currently, MAR has reached an estimated 10 km 3 /year,~2.4% of groundwater extraction in countries reporting MAR (or~1.0% of global groundwater extraction). MAR is likely to exceed 10% of global extraction, based on experience where MAR is more advanced, to sustain quantity, reliability and quality of water supplies. Keywords Managed aquifer recharge.

“…In addition to the residence time of the river water and the expected retardation of the particular compound, the highly variable concentrations in the river at the time of infiltration control contaminant dynamics in the groundwater following bank filtration (Noordsij et al, 1985). During winter, many contaminants tend to be diluted by increased natural discharges, such as rain and snow.…”

“…Several studies have shown contamination of groundwater with trace organic contaminants including organophosphates (OPs) via bank filtration of surface water or artificial recharge using reclaimed water (Knepper et al, 1999;Fries and Püttmann, 2003;Heberer et al, 2004;Stuyfzand et al, 2007;Hoppe-Jones et al, 2010). The presence of ether compounds in bank filtration or artificial recharge sites has also been reported (Noordsij et al, 1985;Schmidt et al, 2003;Achten et al, 2002;Morgenstern et al, 2003;Stuyfzand et al, 2007;Kuster et al, 2010;Kegel et al, 2010;Wiese et al, 2011).…”

The behavior of organophosphates and ethers during riverbank filtration and groundwater flow was assessed to determine their suitability as organic tracers. Four sampling campaigns were conducted at the Oderbruch polder, Germany to establish the presence of chlorinated flame retardants (TCEP, TCPP, TDCP), non-chlorinated plasticizers (TBEP, TiBP, TnBP), and hydrophilic ethers (1,4-dioxane, monoglyme, diglyme, triglyme, tetraglyme) in the Oder River, main drainage ditch, and anoxic aquifer. Selected parameters were measured in order to determine the hydro-chemical composition of both, river water and groundwater. The results of the study confirm that organophosphates (OPs) are more readily attenuated during bank filtration compared to ethers. Both in the river and the groundwater, TCPP was the most abundant OP with concentrations in the main drainage ditch ranging between 105 and 958 ng L(-1). 1,4-dioxane, triglyme, and tetraglyme demonstrated persistent behavior during bank filtration and in the anoxic groundwater. In the drainage ditch concentrations of 1,4-dioxane, triglyme, and tetraglyme ranged between 1090 and 1467 ng L(-1), 37 and 149 ng L(-1), and 496 and 1403 ng L(-1), respectively. A positive correlation was found for the inorganic tracer chloride with 1,4-dioxane and tetraglyme. These results confirm the possible application of these ethers as environmental organic tracers. Both inorganic and organic compounds showed temporal variability in the surface- and groundwater. Discharge of the river water, concentrations of analytes at the time of infiltration and attenuation were identified as factors influencing the variable amounts of the analytes in the surface and groundwater. These findings are also of great importance for the production of drinking water via bank filtration and natural and artificial groundwater recharge as the physicochemical properties of ethers create challenges in their removal.
