Abstract

Estimation of hydrochemical evolution as impacted by hydrodynamics processes at a regional scale has been a difficult issue for years. In this paper, typical index water-head (H), total dissolved solids (TDS), and Carbon-14 (14C) data are collected from “Baoding–Cangzhou” and “Shijiazhuang–Dezhou” regional deep confined aquifers of the North China Plain (NCP). (1) Data analyses show that H-TDS and H-14C have highly significant negative correlations along groundwater pathways of “Baoding–West Cangzhou” (pathway a–a) and “Shijiazhuang–Hengshui” (pathway b–b). Average regression coefficients of H-TDS and H-14C in different periods are about −12.76 (mg/L)/m and −1.266 (ka B.P)/m along a–a, −16.78 (mg/L)/m and −0.322 (ka B.P)/m along b–b. (2) Interpreted via energy conservation, mass conservation and fractal geometry analyses, and proven by 14C temporal data evidence, the TDS temporal evolution equation is derived and confirmed in the natural groundwater flow region as \(\frac{{{\text{d}}c}}{{{\text{d}}t}} = - aKJ^{2}\), with average dissolution rates 10.45 and 54.13 (mg/L)/ka for a–a and b–b. (3) Based on mass conservation, we deduce a governing equation for numerical simulation to calculate dissolution rate as determined by hydrodynamics. In this equation, only three parameters (H, TDS and 14C) must be given in regional deep confined aquifers of the NCP. New practical and simple approaches of assessing the hydro-geochemical process in regional deep confined aquifers in the NCP are proposed.
