Assessment of Groundwater Stability Using Corrosion and Scaling Tendency Indices on Selected Springs in the Manga Region in nyamira County, Kenya

引用

Open Journal of Microphysics 2024年第3期14卷 79-88页

作者： Calford Odhiambo Otieno Alice Makonjo wekesa Physics Department Kisii University Kisii Kenya

We present the result of groundwater stability assessment on three major springs in the Manga region in nyamira County found in Kenya in 2018. These springs are Kiangoso (SP1), Kerongo (SP2) and Tetema (SP3). The corrosion and scaling tendency indices were obtained using the langelier saturation index (lSI), Ryznar stability index (RSI), and Puckorius scaling index (PSI). The lSI values obtained for SP1, SP2, and SP3 are −3.93, −4.71, and −4.17, respectively, while using RSI, the values obtained for SP1, SP2, and SP3 are 14.15, 14.53, and 13.74, respectively. Using PSI, the values of SP1, SP2, and SP3 are 5.58, 5.45, and 5.58, respectively. From the interpretation of the indices, the groundwater from the three springs in the Manga region using lSI and RSI showed intolerable corrosion;hence, it is unlikely to scale as obtained from PSI.

Vegetation Response To Soil And Morphological Properties In An Arid Region Alluvial Fan landscape. Pre-Andes Of San Juan， Argentina

Journal of Earth Science 2024年

作者： FlORES Daniel Germán OCA?A raúl Emmanuel MElIán Edgardo ORTEG Andrés ESPER AnGIllIERI María Yanina PITTAlUGA María Alejandra CIGEOBIO (COnICET-UnSJ) Av.José I.de la Roza y Meglioli Gabinete de Geología Ambiental， InGEO， Universidad nacional de San Juan， Av.José I.de la Roza y Meglioli

The Monte Desert is characterized by a great diversity of landforms created with fluvial， alluvial which the vegetation patterns are related to. The present work has the following objectives: 1: determine whether topographical attributes， surface characteristics， soil properties and vegetation patterns vary between alluvial landforms， and 2: define whether morphometric， soil and surface properties influence vegetation patterns along alluvial landscape. Morphometric data were obtained by processing a 5 m digital elevation model. The coverage of rock fragments， fine sediments and mulch was quantified. Observations and descriptions of the soil profiles were restricted to the uppermost 50 cm. Vegetation properties were calculated using a Point Quadrat Method. The relationship between variables was evaluated through multivariate statistical analysis. The main results show the presence of 45 plant species distributed in 19 families， where shrubs are dominant. The wind effect， topographic wetness and dissection of the landscape are limiting factors of diversity. The coverage of superficial rock fragments influence vegetation coverage through the distribution and availability of rainwater. Furthermore， the different soil textures reveal that the silt content favors an increase in vegetation coverage. The presence of V horizon could condition the installation and development of vegetation in the early stages of growth.
