Dear Dr.XXXXX:
Greetings from the Journal of Natural Resources and Development. I am
writing to invite you to participate as a reviewer of the Journal of Natural
Resources and Development.
The JNRD is a new scientific, international and electronic publication that
covers topics related to the natural resources and its sustainable use to
reach the development http://jnrd.info/home-jnrd/
In this opportunity we invite you to be one of the reviewers of our article
called: "Vulnerability of Groundwater to contamination with produced water
at Oil Production Fields Tharjath area, South Sudan" (Case study)
Abstract:
This research aims at investigating the groundwater quality at Tharjath area
, Sudd region, Republic of South of Sudan, using primary data from
geophysical methods and secondary data from chemical analysis. It also
investigates the vulnerability of groundwater to contamination with oil
produced water from the site central processing unit at Tharjath oil field.
Drinking water in the study area was supplied from treated surface water
from Bahr Al Jabal (River White Nile) and boreholes tapping the Tertiary (Um
Rawaba) sedimentary formation where the depth to water was more than
350meters from ground surface level. Geologically this formation exhibits
rapid face changes. The Geophysical investigations confirmed that
groundwater bearing horizons of this formation at depth ranging between 350
to 500 meters were consisted of small different water bearing zones
separated by aquitards known as leaky heads where the fine grained parts of
the formation reduced the water transmit capacity and adversely affect the
groundwater quality. The flow net map revealed that groundwater seeps
naturally towards the Tharjath oil producing fields.
Based on the findings of this study, the groundwater at the study area was
found to be free of TPH (Total petroleum hydrocarbons) or PAH (Polycyclic
Aromatic Hydrocarbons), that were related to the oil industry. The
groundwater contained many pollutants of natural origin that could be
related to surface water-groundwater interaction. Moreover as water rests
on the Sodic Montmorillite clayey soils of the Sudd region, it gets enriched
in Sodium Chlorides, Sodium Sulphates and Carbonates in addition to other
heavy metals. Evidence that such water was not fit for consumption was the
presence of Chromites ions; Arsenic and high concentrations of total
dissolved solids were identified. Hence it was concluded that the
groundwater was naturally saline and free from oil related contaminants.
However it was highly recommended to monitor soil and groundwater on regular
basis.
Keywords: Sudd Area, groundwater pollution, oil driven pollutants, clay soil
, geophysical Investigation, chemical Investigation, Oil producing fields.
We will be honored if you accept this task. We will wait for your answer
until Aug 26th. If you accept, I will send you the whole document for your
revision and indications.
