摘要

Stable isotope compositions of water (~2H and ~(18)O) were utilized to estimate the relative contributions of diffused recharge (DR) through the soil matrix from direct precipitation and concentrated recharge (CR) through coarse-textured ephemeral streambeds to groundwater in the arid granitic basin of Alquway, central Saudi Arabia. Groundwater ranged in its stable isotope composition from -2.51per thousand to -2.03per thousand for δ~(18)O and from -12.7per thousand to -10.1per thousand for δ~2H. Local groundwater line (LGWL) is defined by: δ~2H = 4.72 δ~(18)O - 0.57. Average stable isotopic content of CR is -2.58per thousand for δ ~(18)O, and -12.37per thousand for δ ~2H. Local CR line (LCRL) is given by: δ~2H = 5.28 δ~(18)O + 1.24. Its slope indicates that CR experiences significant kinetic fractionation resulting in a greater relative enrichment of ~(18)O than ~2H. DR is more enriched in the heavy isotopes with means of -0.38per thousand for δ~(18)O and -9.8per thousand for δ~2H. Local DR line (LDRL) is given by: δ~2H = 2.01 δ~(18)O -9.03. Its slope is much lower than that of LCRL, indicating that DR goes through more stable isotopic fractionation than CR, due to experiencing more evaporation from unsaturated soils. Recharge-inducing rainfalls in this basin were estimated to be relatively depleted in the heavy isotopes, suggesting that groundwater recharge in this basin originates only from heavy downpours. Using mean values of δ ~(18)O in a mass-balance equation, the relative contributions of CR and DR, to groundwater were estimated to be 84% and 16%, respectively.
