Chemical Characteristics and Utilization Potential of Brackish Water in Oasis Area of Yuli County,Xinjiang
In order to explore the chemical characteristics,origin and utilization potential of brackish water in the oasis area of Yuli County,Xinjiang,and promote the utilization of unconventional water resources and rational allocation of water resources,Piper three-line analysis,descriptive statistical analysis,Gibbs map,ion ratio method,water balance and other methods were used to analyze and calculate the ground-water quality and water quantity.The results show that the chemical types of brackish water in this area are mainly SO4·Cl-Na,SO4·Cl-Na·Ca and SO4·Cl-Na·Mg.Evaporation-concentration is the main factor of brackish water formation,followed by rock weathering.The brackish water distribution area covers 3 851.35 km2,which accounts for 56.18%of the total study area.The available volume is estimated at 192.37 million m3 per year,indicating significant mining potential.
