Major ion concentrations of twenty groundwater samples from two deep seated aquifers (coal bearing-GC and limestone-LC) are analyzed for identify the differences between them and the source of ions. The results suggest that they are moderate to highly mineralized water with their average TDS values are 2444 (GC) and 1178 (LC) mg/L. LCs show lower Na but much higher Ca and Mg concentrations relative to GCs. Saturation indexes and principle component analysis, as well as mole ratios between Na and Cl, Ca and SO4, Ca and HCO3 indicate that they have multi sources with incorporation of halite and albite for Na, calcite, dolomite and gypsum for Ca, pyrite and gypsum for SO4. |
