An extremely low hydraulic conductivity of cohesive soil causes a low transport rate of water and solute, with a time-consuming result, as we all know. Stable isotopes (δD and δ18O) and in situ monitoring systems of the data about soil water, rainfall, and groundwater were used to analyze the soil moisture migration pattern, using a conceptual model in the field test site, simulated by Hydrus 1D. The results show that multiple rainfalls’ accumulations can cause the water to recharge from soil moisture to micro-confined groundwater, gradually. The soil moisture dynamic change is composed of a dehydration period and absorption period; the cohesive soil water content below 5.0 m was affected by the micro-confined groundwater level and dehydrated in advance due to the level decline. The thick cohesive soil profile can be divided into a shallow mixing zone (0–2 m), steady zone (2–5 m), and deep mixing zone (5–15 m). The effective precipitation recharge was 234 mm and the average infiltration recharge coefficient (Rc) was 0.1389, but the water exchange between the cohesive soil moisture and groundwater was 349 mm in two hydrological years. This paper reveals the moisture migration and recharge pattern of low-permeability thick cohesive soil in a humid area with a micro-confined groundwater aquifer; this is of great significance for groundwater resources evaluation and environmental protection in humid climate plain areas. |
