- Abstract
The salinization of deep groundwater is one of the serious geographical environmental hazards. The present study collected groundwater samples from 60 wells with depth over 100m in the plain areas of Xinjiang from October to November of 2011. The comparison of hydrochemical data obtained in 2011 and 2003 in the same wells indicated that salinization occurred in a spot-like pattern in Xinjiang. Among the 60 groundwater samples, 20 samples were seriously salinized, which made up to 33.3% of the total wells. Through the analysis of the characteristics of salinization of deep groundwater in this region, four causes of salinization and four countermeasures to prevent salinization were put forward.
