摘要

研究区域本综述重点介绍了澳大利亚、智利、哈萨克斯坦、美国、尼日尔、南非和纳米比亚等主要的干旱产铀地区。这些地区在全球具有重要意义,不仅因为它们的铀矿,还因为社区严重依赖地下水作为主要饮用水源。本文综合了有关这些干旱环境中地下水中铀含量的现有知识,研究了其对水质的影响和相关的健康风险。它进一步评估了现有的修复技术,并考虑了它们在不同水文地质和社会经济环境下的适用性。与以往的研究局限于单个地点或国家不同,本综述提供了跨区域的比较,整合了水化学、放射学和修复的观点。该分析揭示了干旱铀矿省份反复出现的水文地球化学挑战,特别是同位素示踪剂、放射性核素监测和先进地下水建模的有限应用。通过比较各大洲的案例研究,该综述确定了一致的知识差距,并强调必须根据当地水文地质和成本限制调整补救策略。这一综合为理解干旱地区与铀有关的地下水风险提供了一个新的全球视角,并概述了未来研究和适应性水管理的路线图。

Groundwater in arid environments: A review of uranium occurrence and impacts

Study region

This review focuses on major uranium-producing arid regions, including Australia, Chile, Kazakhstan, the USA, Niger, South Africa, and Namibia. These regions are globally significant not only for their uranium deposits but also because communities rely heavily on groundwater as a primary drinking water source.

Study focus

The paper synthesises existing knowledge on the occurrence of uranium in groundwater across these arid environments, examining its impacts on water quality and associated health risks. It further evaluates available remediation technologies and considers their applicability under diverse hydrogeological and socio-economic settings. Unlike previous studies limited to individual sites or countries, this review provides a cross-regional comparison that integrates hydrochemical, radiological, and remediation perspectives.

New hydrological insights for the region

The analysis reveals recurring hydrogeochemical challenges in arid uranium provinces, particularly the limited application of isotopic tracers, radionuclide monitoring, and advanced groundwater modelling. By comparing case studies across continents, the review identifies consistent knowledge gaps and emphasises that remediation strategies must be tailored to local hydrogeology and cost constraints. This synthesis presents a novel global perspective on understanding uranium-related groundwater risks in arid regions and outlines a roadmap for future research and adaptive water management.

期刊介绍: Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies publishes original research papers enhancing the science of hydrology and aiming at region-specific problems, past and future conditions, analysis, review and solutions. The journal particularly welcomes research papers that deliver new insights into region-specific hydrological processes and responses to changing conditions, as well as contributions that incorporate interdisciplinarity and translational science.
