Abstract:

The hexavalent chromium transport in groundwater in Jiaozuo part of the middle route of south to north water transfer project was investigated by using the numerical simulation technology. The simulation results show that hexavalent chromium contamination plume may migrate to the area beneath the main canal about 20 years later, which will place a threat to the security of water quality of the main canal. Furthermore, the primary factors controlling the hexavalent chromium transport in groundwater were identified for different simulation periods. The investigation results may have implication on protection of water quality of the main canal.

Key words: middle route of south to north water transfer project, groundwater, hexavalent chromium, risk assessment of contamination, main controlling factors
