摘要

It is well known that rapid development can significantly impact the surrounding environment. Examining land use/land cover (LULC) changes in areas undergoing rapid development, coupled with evaluating groundwater quality as an indicator of environmental stress, can contribute to sustainable development planning and management. In addition, problems of water contamination are very apparent in Mexico. The city of Playa del Carmen, located in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico has been undergoing intensive development, and the pace of development has been accelerating. Remotely sensed multi-spectral satellite imagery provides an efficient means of understanding LULC change over time. Playa del Carmen is located on an archetypical karst landscape, and the unconfined Pleistocene limestone aquifer that provides the only naturally available freshwater in the region is extremely susceptible to contamination. Five satellite images were selected and acquired to examine and assess LULC change over the 20-year period from 1985 to 2005. A four-part Cartographic Model details the steps employed within the GIS environment to complete LULC change analysis. Developed land area within the study area increased from approximately one percent of total land area to approximately 21 percent of total land area between 1985 and 2005. Development of the study area coincides with population growth. Waters from eight cenotes and one wellhead were sampled during two sampling periods in 2005 and 2006. Nitrate and phosphate concentrations observed exceed nitrate and phosphate concentrations observed previously in cenotes located in Quintana Roo. Water from all nine sampling sites tested positive for total coliforms during both sampling periods. All waters that did not test positive for E. coli, a fecal coliform, during the first sampling period tested positive for E. coli during the second sampling period. The relationship between developed land area and population is well-defined, and a relationship between LULC change and nitrate and phosphate concentrations in groundwater has been established. The presence of coliform bacteria in water sampled at all nine sampling sites during the course of this study provides evidence that groundwater in the vicinity of Playa del Carmen has been contaminated by untreated human waste. Existing water treatment facilities need to be modernized, and new water treatment plants need to be constructed in the vicinity of Playa del Carmen. Finally, future monitoring of groundwater in the area is justified and highly desirable because groundwater is the only source of freshwater in the region, and continued development and population growth have been projected for the future.
