Abstract

The key factors determining the operational cost and carbon footprint of public water supplies derived from groundwater are identified. Both remain low compared to alternative sources while groundwater levels remain stable and water quality potable, but can increase markedly if derived from overexploited and/or polluted aquifers. Thus, ‘potable source protection zones’ are strongly advocated, and examples from England (UK) and Spain are illustrated. The concept of minimising the carbon footprint of groundwater use for potable water supply is novel, and deserves greater attention.

公共地下水供应:最大限度降低运营成本和碳足迹
确定了决定来自地下水的公共供水的运营成本和碳足迹的关键因素。在地下水水位保持稳定且水质可饮用的情况下,与其他水源相比,这两项成本都很低,但如果水源来自过度开采和/或污染的含水层,则成本会显著增加。因此,"饮用水源保护区 "得到了大力提倡,英格兰(英国)和西班牙的例子也说明了这一点。将地下水用于饮用水供应的碳足迹最小化的概念很新颖,值得更多关注。

期刊介绍: Hydrogeology Journal was founded in 1992 to foster understanding of hydrogeology; to describe worldwide progress in hydrogeology; and to provide an accessible forum for scientists, researchers, engineers, and practitioners in developing and industrialized countries. Since then, the journal has earned a large worldwide readership. Its peer-reviewed research articles integrate subsurface hydrology and geology with supporting disciplines: geochemistry, geophysics, geomorphology, geobiology, surface-water hydrology, tectonics, numerical modeling, economics, and sociology.
