title: [Variations in depth and chemistry of groundwater in interval of water delivery at the lower Tarim River].
abstract: Variations in groundwater depth and groundwater chemistry influenced by ecological water delivery in the lower Tarim River result in ecological changes. Based on the monitoring data during March, 2007 to September, 2009, the changes of both depths and chemistry of groundwater were studied. It is found that the depth of groundwater at the upper section of lower reaches increased, the major ions, such as Cl-, Na+, showed an increased change. The variations in groundwater depth in groundwater at middle section of lower Tarim River increased, and the concentrations of the major ions showed an opposite trend after the 11th water delivery. At lower section, the depths of groundwater decreased from August, 2008 till September, 2009. At the same time, the major ions in groundwater increased gradually. The groundwater depth and groundwater chemistry far away from the watercourse had a complex change.
