Abstract

Groundwater is one of most important available water resources in Chengdu Plain. It is sole drinking water in some rural areas, while the concentration of some areas could not meet the drinking water standards. Thus, it is significant to investigate the relationship between the concentration of Cr(VI) and land use types. The concentration of Cr(VI) in 102 groundwater sampling wells were obtained, and the spatial distribution of hexavalent chromium in groundwater was interpolated by Kriging interpolation method. Then, the land use types were analyzed by ENVI. Contributing area surrogate models were employed to investigate the influence of land use type on the concentration of Cr(VI). The following results were obtained, (1) the hexavalent chromium concentrated in crop land, flower-plant/forest land and greenhouse land. (2) The “contributing area surrogate” for the hexavalent chromium pollution region is circular area with a radius of 1750 m. And the pollutant of hexavalent chromium in region groundwater has a good correlation with greenhouse and crop land.
