Relation between Fresh Groundwater Evolution and Some Diseases Caused by Drinking Water
Abstract:The fresh underground water (FUW) is the rare natural resource of hydrosphere in earth and the sensitive weak key element of environment.The changes of FUW have always been the context for human life.The most gravein in the FUW changes is the increasing N content in fresh groundwater,and shallow ground water is turned into the N-reservoir in the continent. A lot of diseases caused by environment are attributed to drinking water. Distribution of the diseases caused by drinking water (DCDW) is under the control of the hydrogeochemical zone. The DCDW with poor iodine may occur in the oxidizing(intake) area, and the DCDW with rich fluorine may occur in reducing (discharge) area, and the Keshan disease of DCDW may occur in a damp area where the FUW is rich in H 2S gas and organic matter.
