This study evaluates the groundwater qualities and environmental changes to obtain information on the groundwater contamination in the Permian Basin, Texas. Coupled with the U.S. government’s open data, these analyses can identify regions where environmental change could have affected groundwater quality. A total of thirty-six wells were selected within the six counties: Andrews, Martin, Ector, Midland, Crane, and Upton. Spatial distribution maps were created for six different parameters: pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride, fluoride, nitrate, and arsenic. Total groundwater quality maps incorporate all the contaminants and denote regions of poor, medium, and optimum conditions. To identify spatial changes in groundwater quality, maps were separated into two different time intervals, 1992–2005 and 2006–2019. We found that groundwater contamination resulted primarily from the mobilization of the contaminant from anthropogenic activities such as chemical fertilizers, oil and gas developments. Overall, groundwater quality decreased during the study period from 1992 to 2019 as population and urban growth began to develop in the Permian Basin. This study contributes on understanding of the response of groundwater quality associated with environmental change in the Permian Basin. Therefore, this research provides important information for groundwater managements in developing plans for the use of water resource in the future.

通过美国二叠纪盆地的油气开发监测环境参数。

这项研究评估了地下水质量和环境变化,以获得有关德克萨斯州二叠纪盆地地下水污染的信息。结合美国政府的公开数据,这些分析可以确定环境变化可能影响地下水质量的区域。在六个县(安德鲁斯,马丁,埃克托,米德兰,克兰和阿普顿)共选择了36口井。为六个不同的参数创建了空间分布图:pH,总溶解固体(TDS),氯化物,氟化物,硝酸盐和砷。地下水总质量图包括所有污染物,并指出了恶劣,中等和最佳条件的区域。为了确定地下水质量的空间变化,将地图分为两个不同的时间间隔,即1992-2005年和2006-2019年。我们发现,地下水污染主要是由于人为活动(例如化肥,石油和天然气开发)中的污染物动员而引起的。总体而言,由于二叠纪盆地的人口和城市增长开始,在1992年至2019年的研究期间,地下水质量下降。这项研究有助于理解二叠纪盆地地下水质量与环境变化的关系。因此,这项研究为今后制定水资源利用计划的地下水管理提供了重要信息。在1992年至2019年的研究期间,由于二叠纪盆地的人口和城市增长开始,地下水水质下降。这项研究有助于理解二叠纪盆地地下水质量与环境变化的关系。因此,这项研究为今后制定水资源利用计划的地下水管理提供了重要的信息。在1992年至2019年的研究期间,由于二叠纪盆地的人口和城市增长开始,地下水水质下降。这项研究有助于理解二叠纪盆地地下水质量与环境变化的关系。因此,这项研究为今后制定水资源利用计划的地下水管理提供了重要的信息。
