• W2055140185 abstract "Sixty-eight groundwater samples from the Ganges-Brahmaputra floodplain in the Bengal Basin were analyzed to assess the groundwater geochemistry, the subsurface hydrology, the buffering effects of sediments on trace metal concentrations and their isotopic compositions, and the magnitude of the subsurface trace element flux to the Bay of Bengal and to the global ocean. Samples obtained from depths of 10 to 350 m were measured for major and trace elements, dissolved gas, and tritium. On the basis of the 3 He/ 3 H ages, the groundwater at depth (30–150 m) appears to be continually replenished, indicating that this recharge of groundwater to depth must ultimately be balanced by a significant quantity of submarine discharge into the Bay of Bengal. Using the 3 He/ 3 H groundwater age–depth relationship to calculate a recharge rate of 60 ± 20 cm/yr, we estimate a subsurface discharge into the Bay of Bengal of 1.5 ± 0.5 × 10 11 m 3 /yr, or 15% of the surface Ganges-Brahmaputra river (GBR) flux. Several trace elements, especially Sr and Ba, display elevated concentrations averaging 7 to 9 times the surface GBR water values. The submarine groundwater fluxes of Sr and Ba to the oceans are 8.2 ± 2 × 10 8 and 1.5 ± 0.3 × 10 8 mol/yr, or 3.3 and 1.2%, respectively, of the world total, or equal to the surface GBR Sr and Ba estimated fluxes. Our groundwater flux for Ba agrees with the estimate of Moore (1997) (3 × 10 8 –3 × 10 9 mol/yr), on the basis of measured Ba and Ra excesses in the Bay of Bengal. Other trace metals, such as U and Mo, are at low but measurable levels and are not major contributors to the global flux in this river system. A comparison of the Sr and Ba concentrations, plus 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios in groundwater to the oxalate extractable fractions of a coastal sediment core, suggests that weathering of carbonates and minor silicates, coupled with cation exchange plus adsorption and desorption reactions, controls the trace element concentrations and 87 Sr/ 86 Sr isotopic compositions in both the groundwater and river water. Our data also imply that other coastal floodplains (e.g., the Mekong and the Irrawaddy rivers) that have high precipitation rates and rapid accumulation of immature sediments are likely to make significant contributions to the global oceanic trace metal budgets and have an impact on the Sr isotopic evolution in seawater." @default.
