Abstract

To reveal the main eco-environmental geological issues of the typical river-lake-wetland systems in the central Yangtze River, this program performed a comprehensive geological survey in the Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, and Guanshan River Catchment of Danjiangkou reservoir. One of the primary objectives of this program is to discover the major water environmental issues of the survey areas and assess the ecoenvironmental geology risks in the Guanshan River Catchment from both the river basin and regional scales. The obtained results show that (1) regional geogenic high content of As, NH₄^⁺, Fe, and Mn have been detected in the groundwater in the Jianghan-Dongting and Poyang Lake plains, and groundwater with elevated I and P content have also been detected in the Poyang Lake and Jianghan-Dongting plains; Fe (Ⅲ) reduction is the primary mechanism responsible for genesis of the high As and P content in the groundwater, and microbial degradation of organic matter could be an important contribution for enrichment of NH₄^⁺, P, and I in the groundwater; soil N, domestic wastewater, and chemical fertilizer are probably the major sources of groundwater NO₃^- in the Poyang plain; contaminated groundwater that discharged into the surface water would increases the contaminant loadings and, hence potentially causes contamination of the latter in the Dongting plain; (2) for the Guanshan River Catchment, the total N and P concentrations in surface water are frequently higher than the limit of level Ⅲ value of the Surface Water Environment Standards, leading the water fail to reach the level III Standard, in which organic N should have largely contributed to the total N loadings; the sub-catchments are characterized by variation of assessed risks concerning soil erosion, geological hazards, anthropogenic contamination, drinking water source, water environment, water ecology, and water habitat. The results of this study have enhanced the precision of geologic survey in this typical riverlake-wetland systems, providing the scientific basis for ecology conservation and recovery as well as water resource management and, furthermore, supporting the ‘The Yangtze River Protection’ and ‘Yangtze River Economic Belt’ strategies.
